Trying new experiences together is a great way to strengthen your bond with your partner, so we decided to go on the Love Bird tour with Alamo Helicopter Tours. To get started, we drove to the Southside to Stinson Field and entered the historic terminal. It was no hassle to check in. We walked to the tarmac and boarded the helicopter, which seats four -- so there were us two, the pilot, and an empty seat. When we took off for downtown San Antonio, I'm afraid of heights, so I had to hold on to the grab bar for a little bit, but then the view took my breath away. We got to see landmarks in downtown San Antonio, like the Tower of the Americas, the Central Library, and the Alamo. The view west towards the sunset was beautiful. It was a smooth ride except for a few moments when we passed over some blacktop (the highway) and then there's an updraft. The pilot narrated the tour, answered our questions, and explained things like how fast do helicopters fly. Soon we would like to come back and do one of the longer tours, maybe to see the sunset or to explore more of the Hill Country.

Fun activity. This was one of my birthday gifts and a cool experience. Everything from check in to return went by smoothly. I'm sure the man at the desk gets tired of reexplaining every safety measure needed cause he didn't seem that enthusiastic about it. We also had no idea what he said because he pointed to the map at the desk while we were not in close proximity. He was good at taking photos and they are good about allowing a short time to take some after. The pilot had good energy and made conversation during the short flight. Overall a good experience in SA!

My husband surprised me with the Austin Salt lick bbq helicopter tour for my birthday. José was our amazing tour guide. He was very kind, knowledgeable, informative and super friendly. He made us feel very safe at all time and the helicopter was a beauty! I would recommend this experience a million times because I will never forget it myself!

You are so kind. Thank you for the awesome review! So happy you two had such a great time.

We took the Hill Country - Lake Travis tour on 10/13/22 to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. In short - it was awesome! Everything about it was so professionally done we could not ask for better. Kudos to José and his trainee from San Antonio! They both made sure we were comfortable and felt safe. This was something we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you very much!

Brad, thank you so much for the great review! Very happy you had a great experience. Happy Birthday again to your beautiful wife.

I got my son a the Circuit of the Americas flight for his 17th birthday. He LOVED it. His own words: "It was a really cool experience. The pilot and staff were very nice and the overall helicopter experience is something like no other. Seeing the city you live in from above is rare, but really cool if you can do it. All in all, great company and great first-time heli ride."

"Coolest birthday present I've ever gotten."

Thank you so much for flying with us. We're so happy your son enjoyed his flight us. Hope to see you again in the future.

Great experience all-around!! Scheduling my flight online was smooth, signing the waivers via email link was easy and the check-in was quick. The guy at the front desk (sorry, I didn't catch your name) was friendly. We walked inside the lobby just as he was walking in from the tarmac & he greeted us by our first names (which means he looked at my reservation before he walked the people ahead of us out to their flight). I'm originally from a small town where everybody knew everybody... so, for me, it's a nice feeling knowing that someone actually looked at your name on the schedule. Right outside the terminal are benches -- I sat there before & after my flight (for about an hour), watching aircraft take off & land. We flew in a Robinson R44 (for those aviation geeks like me out there)! The capacity for this tour is 3 passengers -- so 4 people total with the pilot. The flight: "Alamo & More" was the ride I purchased (great deal on Groupon). 15 minutes goes by very quick but we saw so much! Alex was an awesome pilot -- informative, friendly and very personable. He asked questions about us and also answered the zillion questions we had for him!! He pointed on elephants on the ground at the zoo, looped around the Tower of the Americas twice, flew over the Quarry Market, showed us the Alamo & several other missions. Alex made us feel safe as he flew the helicopter all around the city -- we would definitely fly with him again! Thank you for your service in the USMC, Alex. Overall, great value for your money, fantastic staff and a 5-star experience from start to finish. Thank you!

Jan 12, 2020

Thank you so much for this awesome review! Alex enjoyed flying you for your anniversary! Hope to see you again!

Great experience start to finish. Scheduling and rescheduling because of weather was a breeze. Our pilot, Juan, was extremely reassuring and kind. Thanks so much for the great adventure! :)

Took my fiance here for her birthday and had so much fun. The flight crew was awesome, the trip itself was just an absolute delight and just an overall fun experience flying over Austin. 10/10 would do again.

Thank you so much Michael. Glad you had fun and was able to give your fiancé and great gift. Hope to see you again at Austin Helicopter Tours in the future!

Absolutely awesome- I showed up 1 week early because I mixed up my dates and they still took us up. It was our 1st time ever riding in a helicopter and I have no complaints. Exec Elle the service.

May 10, 2021

So glad you enjoyed your flight. Thanks for the great review!

A father-son morning that I will never forget. Hopefully he feels the same way! Everyone was delightful to work with, and I felt well-briefed and safe throughout this brief adventure. This experience was a true blessing. We will return for a longer flight sometime soon!

Feb 19, 2019

Thanks so much for the kind words, Shawn. We are so happy you and your son enjoyed your tour. We thoroughly enjoyed being a part of your father-son moment and can’t wait till the next one!
