EXCELLENT Based on 277 reviews Brenda S of "The Scrabblers"Verified A wonderful and memorable experience. A wonderful experience started with a warm and friendly greeting by Jeff, then an introduction to our pilot James F and our helicopter. We were given full safety instructions and James inspired confidence. He kept us fully informed throughout the flight as to where we were and things to look out for, pointing out in the distance the Shard in London and the white cliffs at Hastings. ( we had been blessed with a beautiful clear day and bright sunshine). The views were amazing and I was surprised that it felt like we were travelling really slowly, but James told us that our average speed was about 108 mph. Thank you James and Geoff for a truly memorable experience and great customer service. I was a bit nervous before we flew, even though it was my 4th helicopter trip, but to anyone who is toying with the idea of a flight, I would say “you won’t regret it” Journey21037228963Verified Memorable experience It was a memourable wedding anniversary. The team at EBG helicopters demonstrated a high level of professionalism, and every interaction was handled with genuine courtesy and care. The crew were not only highly competent but also exceptionally welcoming and personable, creating a seamless and positive engagement from start to finish. I truly appreciate what they have done to make our celebration truly memorable fruitypearVerified Absolutely amazing experience Absolutely amazing, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Loved the actual helicopter ride, which was so exciting. The views across London were incredible. Our pilot James was informative and friendly. This is a must for anyone, such a lot of fun and an amazing life experience. Thank you Hemant HVerified Incredible bucket list experience and amazing instruction The team at EBG helicopters were really helpful throughout the process - from booking and initial questions through to the on-the-day instruction. James on the operations team helped loads throughout the booking and arrivals processes.My instructor Ken was incredibly knowledgeable. He gave us a great intro on the ground to help us understand how the helicopter works and what to expect in the sky. In the cockpit and sky he was very supportive and clear throughout.I had an amazing experience on my trial lesson at EBG Helicopters. Doing a helicopter lesson has been on my bucket list for a long long time, and I'm really glad I came here to do it. Syd KVerified Wonderful experience and way to see London Wonderful people, professional and polite. Especially the pilot. Will be back again. Amazing views. Would highly recommend Safari34689270784Verified Loved it! It was amazing I booked the 35-minute London Sightseeing Helicopter Tour for my two girls. They had an amazing time. James, the Operations Manager, and James, the pilot, were both fantastic. I guess because of one of my own previous experiences, I maybe I sort of expected everyone to be a bit overly "militant" about everything. But the guys at EBG Helicopters really weren't. Everyone was really friendly, casual and laid back, and I know my girls felt comfortable with the whole experience from start to finish. My two young daughters had never been in a helicopter before, so they were a bit anxious at the beginning. Let me tell you now, they LOVED the whole experience! Now I have to find more money for lessons! Eeesh! (Thanks, EGB, we thoroughly enjoyed it!) AbdullaVerified Fantastic 45-min helicopter ride! James F. was brilliant, and Geoff & the EBG team made it unforgettable. From start to finish, my 45-minute helicopter ride with EBG Helicopters was nothing short of outstanding.Our pilot, James F., was highly professional, reassuring, and made the flight feel incredibly smooth and safe. His skill in the air gave us complete confidence, and he also made the experience fun and engaging.A big thank you to Geoff and the entire EBG team – their warm welcome, organisation, and personal touches really set the tone for the day. Everything ran seamlessly, and their hospitality made us feel like valued guests from the moment we arrived.The views from the helicopter were absolutely breathtaking, and the whole experience was the perfect mix of adventure, comfort, and unforgettable memories.If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I couldn’t recommend EBG Helicopters more highly. Truly first class! P SVerified EBG Helicopters made my day. From start to finish the team at EBG Helicopters were fantastic. Every question during the booking process was answered in a helpful manner by Geoff and the pilot Mark covered a professional and knowledgeable breakdown of the details of the helicopter and what happens via the controls during flight. It was a fantastic and fun experience which I would highly recommend to anyone with interest in or flying helicopters. I just wished I could have spent a little longer in the air getting used to the controls before having to land. It felt all too short, but that just proves how much I enjoyed the experience and I will deffinatly look into the details for a full lesson. A little longer would give you 100%. Thank you Gentleman you made my day.Mr P Shackell paolo sVerified Amazing experience! We had a great time, what an experience! Our pilot James was very professional and guided through the different parts of London we were seeing.
