Washington DC Experience Gifts Reviews

My husband loves all things planes (and anything fast) so I bought this as a gift for him. I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading the description and the reviews, And I was really nervous that it was gonna be kinda lame. Turns out it was amazing! My husband had a great time, he got to hold the controls and apply accelerator and learned a lot about flying a small plane on his experience. The pilot he partnered with was very gracious, patient, indulging, and kind. If my hard to impress husband thought that this was a really cool experience, then your loved one will really enjoy it! Don’t hesitate!


Falls Church, VA

It was great. My instructor was very knowledgeable, and very patient! Because if my experience I'm thinking of going for my pilot license.


Warrenton, Va

I had a really good time flying with Cheasapeake Sport. Tim, my pilot, was very knowledgeable and did a great job showing me the basics. It was so much fun, I would gladly go again.


Huntingtown, MD

From start to finish, this was a great experience. Dan, a very experienced pilot, met us at the airport in Stevensville, MD and covered everything about flying, types of aircraft, and licensing. Then, we went to a grass airstrip along the Chesapeake Bay and discussed everything about the sport plane we would be flying. It was a great day for flying, Dan described how all the controls worked and then let me take the stick! I highly recommend this experience and especially Dan as instructor.

  • Our experience was nothing short of extraordinary! Abby proved to be an exceptional host, radiating warmth and professionalism. She was thoroughly prepared upon our arrival and spent the evening skillfully guiding us through the cooking process while sharing stories from her culinary and restaurant journey.

    The event was both entertaining and educational, packed with fun moments and valuable takeaways. Abby elevated our understanding of food and hospitality, offering countless insights into cooking techniques and the art of entertaining.

    I couldn’t recommend this experience more highly! It was the perfect birthday gift for my husband, a true food and entertaining enthusiast. He was absolutely thrilled, making it an unforgettable evening with friends. Simply perfect!
