Superbe expérience, accueil sympathique et professionnel du staff. Les casques permettent de ne pas entendre les bruits de l'hélicoptère tout en laissant la visite guidée et de la musique nous transporter. Juste dommage que nous n'ayons pas le choix de la langue pour les commentaires. Je recommande !!

They were 30 min late although we had to be there 45 min in advance. No information why we had to wait that long. So 1/2 day was gone for a 20min experience. The pilot was not so experienced. We had an instable flight. Could not hear the audiguide although i put highest available volume.

Unkompliziert und sehr schön - ist für mich mit 192 Cm Körpergröße etwas beengt aber im Großen und Ganzen das Geld wert.
