Helicopter Tour Tennessee Customer Reviews

Average Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Great Experience Overall

It was a great experience and the staff was great! If I had any complaints it would be that the certificate stated a 20 minute ride and we drove over an hour for a 5 minute ride. It was a little disappointing as this was a birthday present. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend.

River Run Helicopter Ride

My son and I really enjoyed the ride! All the guys there were very professional and polite, explaining all the safety details and making sure we were comfortable. We upgraded our trip to include more of the mountains and it was well worth it. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Helicopter Tour Smokey Mountains

My husband + I really enjoyed how beautiful the scenery was on our tour. The tour company and our pilot was really friendly, organized and answered all our questions about the landscape. One thing that I think was misleading (or maybe I didn't read the description correctly) was that the total flight time we paid for was only 5-6 minutes. The coupon indicated a total time of 45 minutes so I assumed we'd be spending more time actually in the air. We ended up having to pay more to bump up to a longer tour because I felt it was a waste of money to pay for such a short time in the air. I think it would be helpful to word the description differently so that it's clear exactly how much time is in the air vs. standing on the ground getting your safety instructions. However, overall, it was a great experience and we very much enjoyed it.
