It was beautiful experience. I gifted the tickets to my boyfriend and it was so nice, the pilot was very goodAwesome experience, friendly staff. The 30 minute tour is the Best because you get to see most of the lakes and mountains up close. Highly recommended.
Awesome experience, friendly staff. The 30 minute tour is the Best because you get to see most of the lakes and mountains up close. Highly recommended.The tour was great. I'd say the price is slightly steep but they also make it a private tour for you only so it is definitely worth it. I think playing music while flying will make the experience more enjoyable.

Matt was an awesome pilot. The tour was beautiful; a must take tour when in Tahoe. We will be taking this tour again in the summer when we return!There’s no more perfect perspective of Lake Tahoe than the aerial view. Davis was a great pilot and the team was fantastic! I’d highly (no pun intended) recommend taking this tour. You could never consume this view from any other perspective. It is truly a must see. You will not be disappointed.
