    What a wonderful way to spend my birthday. From the time I walked in to check in to the landing all was well organized and seeing Nashville from that view was just beautiful. I highly recommended this to others.

    Awesome tour made by Travis
    David_P, Apr 2024
    It was a fantastic helicopter ride. I want to mainly compliment Travis for an absolutely awesome tour. My wife was scared of going on a helicopter and he put her right at ease and then the tour itself was both incredibly detailed and insight on the areas we covered. He also gave us a mini drive round of what was effectively a private airport and it was cool as anything from an aviation experience. Highly recommend this as a way to see Nashville from the air.
    Awesome, wholesome...
