A county as beautiful as Somerset deserves to be seen from the air - and on this helicopter explorer flight for two from the Bath and West Showground, that's precisely what you'll get to do. This is your chance to see this corner of the South West of England from the air, with your flight path taking in first the Mendip Hills and the historic and strikingly beautiful Cheddar Gorge with its famous underground caves, before you head further west and the majestic spires of Wells Cathedral come into view. It all promises to be a flight neither of you will forget!

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.
