Customer Reviews
The best helicopter tour we’ve ever had! We’ve done other tours with other companies such as in Vegas and there is no comparison. We were in the air for about an hour with Peter who was a true pro and class act. Very knowledgeable and we learned things we didn’t know before. A very smooth ride and and incredible experience we will never forget. We will fly again with Peter and Group 3 any day. Thank you!
We went on the coast and canyons ride for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was an absolute treat and worth every penny. Peter was not only an amazing pilot but an amazing tour guide. Him and his wife made us feel safe and secure the entire time and took pictures of us that’ll last a lifetime. I will definitely be booking in the future for our next occasion. My breath is still taken away.
We had an amazing Hollywood & The Beach Tour provided by Peter and Claudia! This was a birthday surprise for my fiancé and I could not have found a better company to make it so nice and special. Their small business provides an excellent service and experience from start to finish. They were great at communication right from the first call to book the tour. They made sure to call us and give us some options due to the weather forecast for our original time and date. They were flexible, accommodating and always very friendly. Peter was our pilot and he did an excellent job making sure that our safety comes first and that we had a great experience while being in the sky. He was a perfect tour guide in the sky as he told us so much interesting information and pointed out all the key sights. He also made me feel at ease as I am afraid of heights and it was my first helicopter ride…he did so well, I completely forgot about my fear! If you want to have a memorable helicopter ride experience over LA, then I fully recommend Group3 Helicopters! Thank you Claudia & Peter, it was an absolutely amazing experience and it was such a pleasure meeting you both! You’re the best!! Oxana & Jon
