Tamara took great care of us on booking the reservation, finding the right time for us, and gave us a warm welcome.
Chuck was fantastic pilot and guide. Made our tour over downtown Chicago be the best experience possible.
The drive to the Lansing airport was definitely worth it as this was VIP experience!
You guys are awesome! Thank you!
What an incredible experience all around. The staff and pilot were courteous and helpful. The kids and I left safe the entire trip and was a very smooth flight. It was easy to communicate during the flight with headphones and we were able to see the city so clearly!
Our flight was set for 830 but the pilot suggested we wait a few minutes to catch the Navy Pier fireworks. When we asked if this was an issue she smiled and said no problem. Talk about customer service!!
It's a good drive for us from O'Hare but this was totally worth it!! Highly recommend!!!
Whether this is on your bucket list or looking for a unique date night ..check this gem on the south side and bask in the beauty of Chicago thru an aerial view. This is my second time and hands down recommended to all. Apparently the night tour are just as good so I shall return for more.
SummerSkyz were great at every step. From the moment I called them they were very helpful and quick in getting me and my people scheduled. Once we were there they were also amiable, The pilot was a total pro, smooth riding all the way. His comments were spot on, interesting but not overwhelming.
The views and experience is great! If you're still thinking about it, go for it! You won't regret
I bought my dad a flight for his 70th birthday. My mom joined him but was really hesitant. Tobias the pilot was extremely calming and helped my mom get on the helicopter. They had a fantastic time. One small tip - photos don't come out so well because of the shaking, stick to videos!
