Details for the The Bath Skyline and Georgian City Experience for One

Product ID: 17811

A World Heritage Site, steeped in centuries of history and attracting many visitors year after year, now is your chance to take in the grand skyline and landmarks of the city of Bath from the air on this exciting helicopter ride experience for one, taking flight from the Bath and West Showground. Dotted with a number of Roman built sites, you'll be able to witness any number of city squares and buildings from a bird's eye perspective. But it's not just this era you'll witness either, as Bath is just as famous for its many grand Georgian buildings and architecture, which have found a whole new audience thanks to the city's use as a filming location for the hit Netflix series Bridgerton. And you'll see the townhouses and the famous Pulteney Bridge from the air as well for what we anticipate will be an unforgettable way to explore Bath!

Went to time as arranged. Initial contact not too good as phone number given raised no response. Got another number and went plain sailing.

Reviewed by: Bob Thomson

First rate experience. The staff were pleasant, courteous and wanted us to enjoy the experience. The trip took 25 minutes and the pilot allowed the people in each side of the helicopter to see all the views so that noone missed anything of Bath and Bristol.

This was a special Christmas present and my wife and I were thrilled with it. The organisation was professional and I was really pleased ro sit next to the pilot and have a terrific view of Bath. The pilot made sure that our special locations were viewed too. Thanks for a fantastic trip.

All round excellent. It was easy to book, and the staff helped when I had a question. On the day, the venue parking wasnt ideal, but wasnt difficult to sort out and didnt dampen the experience. Everyone we dealt with was nice and helpful. The experience itself was brilliant. We got lucky with the weather but despite being worried the time would flash by, it was actually enough. All round excellent day.
