What People Are Saying About Flying With Heli Chicago

“Absolutely an AMAZING experience from start to finish! Our pilot – Chris – was super friendly and an absolute PRO at his profession! You can tell he has a true passion for what he does. From booking/scheduling, confirmations and even accommodating small changes along the way were a breeze. Chris was hit with our daughters and did not hesitate every second of the flight with any of their conversation/questions. He really made it special!!! You have to take a helicopter tour of Chicago and you HAVE TO use Chris at (the REAL) Heli Chicago!!!!
“Our pilot Wayne and Sara were beyond spectacular and had a good variety of jokes. They were very polite and punctual which was appreciated. I felt very calm with their presence and they made me feel completely relaxed and not worried for the flight. I was very nervous but they reassured me that everything would be smooth. The ride was beautiful and the pilots completed the experience.
