What Our Customers Say About Us

Halyna

We had an unforgettable helicopter flight over London with Adventure 001 today! It was such an amazing experience for our whole family — the views were absolutely breathtaking, and everything was perfectly organised from start to finish. A special thank you to Captain Joseph Riley, who was incredibly professional, friendly, and made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the flight. Our children were so excited and absolutely loved every moment! We’re truly grateful for this wonderful experience and highly recommend Adventure 001 to anyone looking for a unique and memorable way to see London from above.

Paul Myatt

The ground crew were wonderful and made Jacks day as they added him to the ride on the day thank you so much Jane

Carl Manton

Very enjoyable

Lisa Robinson

I took my 6 year old grandson and we had an amazing experience. It was all set up really well in a good location for a drink snack & toilets whilst we waited. All ran to time and I got a phone call in the morning to say there was another event nearby and to allow more time re traffic and parking. Thank you would definitely book again .

David Parker

I was amazed how smooth the flight was. Something I would not have thought of doing but I was grateful to my grandson for such a thoughtful gift. It was wonderful to fly over an area I am familiar with but to see it from a different aspect!

Andrew Wright

An amazing experience, and huge thanks to the very patient Pilot A. Gordon who made it seem like I was the only 'student' all day. Was worth the wait after 3 previous cancellations, and leave lots of time as I was 3rd after the group safety briefing. Very courteous and friendly ground crew. (Didn't manage to see the photos taken as the crew car was locked).

Martyn Johnson

Tom was an excellent pilot and he explained all the aspects of the helicopter flight throughout the journey. His knowledge and competence was very reassuring and he answered questions as well. The whole experience was very exhilarating and I would recommend Adventure experiences 001 to friends and family.

Caroline McRoy

What a great day. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff and were very well looked after throughout. The flight itself was amazing and everything was explained well. The instructor was nice and relaxed and put us at ease which really made the experience more enjoyable.

Anthony Austin

Although weather not great. Still fine views over Tyneside. Tony Austin.

Darren

My partner bought me a 20 minute trial helicopter flying lesson for my 60th birthday. We had a fantastic time, the staff were so friendly and fabulous with all safety talks and instructions carried out in a very professional, efficient and clear manner. It was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend. Big thanks to all at adventure001 for such a great opportunity and making everything so easy from booking to the actual flight.

Sally Merrett

Our pilot Captain Alex House went above and beyond to give us the most wonderful flight over Hadrian’s Wall. He altered both the date and time of day of our flight to afford us the best weather to fully appreciate the spectacular views of the many incredible remains of the Wall and the forts and mile castles along it’s length. Our trip took us all the way from Newcastle to Bowness on Solway back to Wallsend and back to the airport. We gratefully appreciate his efforts to avoid the bad weather.

Penelope Davies

Excellent service from arrival to departure, wish I had extended the flight time

Janet Slinn

My birthday treat (delayed from August 2024) was thrilling! 12 miles around Sandown, Shanklin and over The Bay (Isle of Wight) on a lovely mainly sunny day. Marvellous! Fizz and chocolates too! My only criticism is that it was over far too soon!

Nikki E

Fantastic flight in helicopter G-LEEZ with Captain Jules Fellows.

John Slinn

Excellent skipper, very very smooth flight, not easy in the gusty conditions!

Rob Jepson

Fantastic experience, my first time in a helicopter. The team were so polite, friendly and efficient throughout. Really enjoyed the flight - being in the passenger seat at the front made all the difference. Thanks to all involved.

Steve T

Fantastic flight in helicopter G-BYBI with Captain Stewart Smith.

Jackie & Mike Bliss

Thank you for a spectacular flight from Biggin Hill over London this afternoon. The ground crew and pilot were great, made us feel right at home. The helicopter was very comfortable and much quieter than my last flight 30 years ago. A thoroughly enjoyable and memorable experience

Chris Marshall

A brilliant 75th birthday present from my husband. Enjoyed every minute. The staff were amazing and the views superb. Only regret was that it didn't last long enough.
