What I like the most is that everyone on the helicopter had the opportunity to see everything from every angle. Ex. We saw all the city from every angle.

Here is the rundown: They do not confirm your seats until 3 days prior but they take payment. Don't you find this bizarre? I don't understand why they cannot confirm at the time of booking. You are picked up at a designated hotel (not your hotel) and then two additional stops at two other hotels to pickup additional passengers. Then the shuttle drives you to the airport. You watch a very outdated video on safety. Then 6 of you are jammed into a helicopter plus the pilot. If you are bigger you will be uncomfortable and if you are smaller you will be uncomfortable because of the bigger people. The pilot does a 15-20 minute tour that goes over the bay, golden gate bridge and Alcatraz and then you land in Sausalito where the shuttle meets you to take you back. I could not understand the pilot AT ALL. I had no idea what he was saying during the entire tour. In total it takes about 2 hours and is $215 per person. Is it worth it? Yes if you book with a different helicopter touring company. This was a bottom budget tour.

This is a must do experience. Great views of San Francisco, Alcatraz, and Flying under the Golden Gate Bridge We had a Wide range of weather conditions – Tourist and Photographers – this was a dream environment. Enjoy whatever is going your way. Rain, Fog, Clearing up and Sunny and Rainbow The Length of the trip is around 30 min. Allow for several hours from pickup to drop off. We were picked up and dropped off at the side entrance to the Hilton Hotel. My son did this tour the week before and decides to surprise me for my Birthday. Reasonable If you enjoyed the tour, don’t forget to Tip The Pilot -Brock – very nice, skilled and professional pleasant – nailed the landing on the tow sled Jamie Logistics – Pickup – on time – well organized, great to chat with Bell 407 Helicopter – equipment is very modern and new and in great shape. Very Smooth Get set ahead of time. Prepare your cameras and have them ready to go when you board. Photo tips - If you are using a DSLR, select one lens with a wide range and Image Stabilization - VR 18 to 200 mm Use your smart phone for video especially for the spoiler alert, look up when the bridge is over top.
