I’ve Gotta Say This Was By Far The Best Ride In The Sky In The Bay Area Ever ( It Last Longer than all the others & It’s $150/300 Cheaper than all the other ones - mind you the other ones only take you over one bridge where here we went over golden gate, bay bridge, and San Mateo bridge - there’s a ton to mention that I was shown but man Worth the money & Time !

it is completely worth it, the views are wonderful, the pilot is a professional and very friendly would definitely do it again
Great Tour of San Francisco
Philippe_H, Feb 2023
I brought my girlfriend here to celebrate Valentine's weekend. I had trouble finding the place since it wasn't clear. However, we tried to follow the GPS for the second time and found it. We had such a good experience with the tour and Rick Cascelli, Chief Pilot was great to fly with and very knowledgeable about Bay Area. The flight was so smooth. We had anticipated a helicopter tour instead but this is much better since it's not as dizzy as previously experienced with other touring company in the past. We had a great time and will return for other special occasions for sure.
Don’t miss out!

Once in a lifetime experience
Neil_A, Oct 2022
What a great experience. Our pilot was very professional and knowledgeable and made us feel special. The flight was smooth and gave us exceptional views of the city and surrounding countryside. I would recommend this to anyone visiting San Francisco.
Not what I paid for.
Cheri_W, Oct 2022
Was booked as a helicopter flight, but was a small 4 seater plane. That really wasn't the problem, the pilot was my daughter's age about 23 or 25 very inexperienced. He had strapped the flying instructions to his leg. My daughter sat up front there were no safety instructions given and she was sitting in the training seat for a beginning pilot where there are controls and the brake. The young man talked mostly about sports and not about the scenery. Wasn't what I paid for. As my daughter said, It was pretty sketchy🤔
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Hi Cheri, Thank you for your review. People sometimes get distracted by excitement during the booking process that they don't read and bypass our transparent information "Airplane Tour". It is important to carefully read before purchasing a tour. Nowhere on our web page will you see the word "Helicopter". You are correct, we do have a young pilot that I feel has impressed us beyond limits with his skillful safety measures he prioritizes before, during, and after a flight. We don't judge on age, if a pilot has gone through the rigorous training and has passed all safety check points that are required by the FAA,... then we believe its fair to give that individual a chance to fly. There are of course 23 year old commercial pilots flying 300 passengers on a commercial airplane. How would you guess they got there? Experience and opportunity, and that's what we are providing to our pilots. And to our customers we provide Safety at a birds eye view regardless of age, race, or gender. Please look at all our reviews which reflect optimistic opinions on our flight services including our great team of pilots. Thank you again for your review it is greatly appreciated. Respectfully, Fly San Francisco Tours team.
Awesome
Sandra_A, Oct 2022
The flight was awesome and our pilot Matt was very professional and hospitable. I had never been on an airplane before but the pilot made our first time very enjoyable.
Great experience!
Sadie_W, Sep 2022
Booked this as a surprise birthday present and it was absolutely perfect. Thank you! Very cool experience, friendly staff.
Wonderful Experience
Angelica_A, Sep 2022
Everyone at the office was very friendly and welcoming. It was our very first time flying and our pilot (Jake) made us feel very confortable and safe through the whole process.
Will absolutely go back!!
Miranda_C, Apr 2022
At first glance, Hayward feels like an out out of the way and pdd place to book a tour over the golden gate bridge. HOWEVER, it is absolutely the best place to book!! The air tour was 1000% better than anything booked in the more touristy places. The flight was spectacular! Rick made everything feel so personal and the stories we shared back and forth definitely made the experience just THAT much better. I tried uploading pictures to show off, but unfortunately there was an error. I just cannot express how thankful I am that we went here instead of any other flight company. I am without a doubt doing this again!
Sunset flight
Linda_N, Feb 2022
My husband got the sunset flight for his birthday. That was beautiful. The weather was fantastic and clear. I highly recommend it to those who would give an experience instead of items. It will be an eternal memory.
