We had a great flight! Our pilot was awesome! We did this with our 2 YO and everyone was patient while our son got comfortable with being in the helicopter. Would definitely do it again!

So happy to know you and your family enjoyed yourselves. Thanks so much for the great review. Hope to see you again!

First time for me and my partner in a helicopter. Was really cool and our driver was really knowledgeable and pleasure to share this experience with. I would definitely do this again

Oct 28, 2018

Thank you for the kind review. We enjoyed flying with you!

Alamo Helicopter Tours was an experience like no other. My girlfriend has never flown before, even on a plane, but they made the flight a truly great one for her. The flight itself was very smooth. The personality of the pilot was awesome. He made it very enjoyable and really added to the entire experience. It was entertaining, informational and most importantly safe. I would highly recommend Alamo Helicopter Tours.

Thanks for the awesome review. Safety is always our number one priority followed with fun! Glad we could make your and your girlfriend’s experience a great one!

We signed up for the Ultimate Tour with Jose as our pilot. He was awesome! Very knowledgeable of San Antonio. My girlfriend and I learned a lot of new things. I definitely recommend everyone to go on a ride, you won't regret it!

Feb 9, 2018

Thank you, Jonathan! We're elated to see you loved everything about it! We'll see you next time. Sincerely, Betty C.,Owner

Such a wonderful experience! I highly recommend Austin Helicopter Tours, Jose was an awesome pilot and it was certainly an extraordinary experience!

We did the Austin downtown tour and it was overall a very good experience. The check in process was very straight forward, the staff was very polite, and the tour itself was very entertaining. It's one of those things that you do just once but I would definitely go back with people visiting the area.

Absolutely great time! The driver, Ryan, was real pleasant and knowledgeable about the helicopter and San Antonio. Went for my birthday and will do it again soon. Definitely recommend if you've never ridden a helicopter!

One of many great views of my beautiful city, San Antonio!

Feb 14, 2018

Perfect, Monika -- thank you for making us a part of your awesome birthday! We know it's been a few years and we hope we'll see you again for another one soon. Thanks for the shoutout. Sincerely, Betty C.,Owner

Great people and world class service!!! I surprised my girlfriend with the salt lick tour and surprised her again by proposing marriage while we were flying. Jose, our pilot, really went the extra mile to make sure this once in a lifetime event was nothing short of extraordinary. Thank you Jose, for ensuring this memorable time for us was absolutely perfect. Be looking for an invitation!!!

You are the best, Scott -- thank you for including us in such a thoughtful proposal! We know it's been a while, and we just wanted to pop in to say we wish you all the best and hope you're doing well. Sincerely, Betty C.,Owner
