    This is going to be somewhat of a long review but I'll try not to go for too long. THIS PLACE IS FIRST CLASS, AND I. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. I have been three times now on the The UTLIMATE DOORS OFF Experience (Tampa) and it has been amazing each time. Most people only do this once but my experience was so good I just kept going. Rachel was easy to work with and made the booking process so painless. I cannot stress how helpful she was in getting everything set up for me and my group. Thomas made me and everyone else feel safe and in good hands the entire flight. He was seriously a joy to fly with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FLYING WITH THOMAS on a sunrise tour they are epic!

    First time in a helicopter and it was a wonderful experience. Nick was our pilot and was super friendly and professional. It did not feel at all like a tour, but more like a fun joy ride with him. He gave us some fun facts, new names of places and suggested different places to go to, and even circled around a few times to allow us to see the manatees. Because if changing locations from Sarasota to Tampa, he informed us the flight would be a little different and did warn us there would be extra cost. But because of his politeness, we did it and he definitely made up for it. Definitely recommend this and will do it again.

    This place is really awesome, I took my girlfriend on a flight for a date and it was overall a great experience. It was super easy to book, they have a bunch of packages to pick from, and itโ€™s a wonderful experience. Our pilot was super cool and talked to us the whole time, I thought he was the owner for how professional he was. I highly recommend taking the doors off if youโ€™re going up, itโ€™s very scary but you get over it after the first five minutes. I will for sure be going back for another ride over the summer.

    So we had to reschedule due to weather and other circumstances they had, 4 times.. but it was so worth the wait! Our politicians James was wonderful asks they made up for it by taking us out for twice the amount of time we paid for. We loved every minute

    Team was amazing! The only way to tour Tampa, less traffic, and much better views. Our pilot new all the best spots and made sure we saw the sea life from above! I whole heartily recommend the longer tours to get the full experience.

    This was the best birthday my sister in laws and my wife ever experienced!! The staff was wonderful provided champagne and a lovely lovely beautiful helicopter! I am a record label owner in the Tampa area and have seen a lot of things and I was extremely impressed. The pilot was awesome the airport was state of the art. I suggest everyone book a Chopper Flight here!!

    Captain Thomas took myself and 2 of my staff out for an amazing adventure. It was their 1st time on a helicopter and he made sure they had a smooth ride, pointed out manatees, dolphins, named the areas we flew over. We had an overall amazing experience. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again. BTW make sure to tip your pilots, ours was very professional and kind. Booking was smooth too (I don't remember her name but possibly Laura?) went over different packages. Thank you everyone at Fly Venture, for allowing me to properly take my staff out and for an unforgettable experience.

    Amazing experience! Our pilot, Thomas, was fun, knowledgeable, and a great representative of flyVENTURE. Adding the champagne was a great move! PLEASE bring cash and tip your pilot. Unfortunately you can't add the tip to the bill on your card.

    As a returning flyer once again we couldn't have had a better time . We enjoyed our pilot and our flight around the Tampa bay area . The boys were amazed and it sparked a new interest in them .They have been telling everyone about there flight and possibly one day being able to pilot one themselves. The fun they had, created a Dream . We look forward to future flights . The sky is the limit !!!

    Honestly this was the best experience I have ever had. Our pilot was amazing!! I had never been in a helicopter before. But I will definitely do it again. The sunset tour was the BEST

    Owner of this company, "Nick Herle" was 100% dishonest when selling me 12 used Motorola radios for what was essentially half of my weekly paycheck. During his "garage sale" in an airport hangar in Plant City, he specifically lied to me when I asked him questions about their operability. Of the 12 radios, only two of them function properly - he basically just sold me a bunch of worthless junk. When I respectfully and kindly reached out to him on marketplace just a few hours later to let him know, he responded by simply blocking me on FB. I find this man's actions 100% dishonorable and exactly what you'd expect from someone of questionable character. I can't believe this guy actually operates a business - beware.

    My experience was really amazing! Our flight pilot Rafael did a wonderful job explaining about the entire process. For my 1st time in an Helicopter he made me really comfortable..As for the flight it was a beautiful day and the flight showcase all downtown and the Tampa Bay. He did a great job telling us about the buildings and history. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

  • 5/5 Darlene D. 6 months ago on Google
    We did this trip for our 10 year anniversary this past weekend and absolutely loved it. Our Pilot, Rafael was super knowledgeable about all the different sites and made us feel so comfortable and safe about the flight. I cannot say enough good things about this experience. Pictures just don't do it justice. It was definately worth the money. We're ready to go again already๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃโ™ฅ๏ธ

    First helicopter experience. Rafael was an awesome pilot. He made sure safety procedures were understood and made this flight throughout more than pleasant. Doors off was the best choice to have the best view.

    Our Pilot was absolutely amazing! He did a wonderful job explaining about your the helicopter worked. Each question my husband has about flight, he had an answer. He did a great job telling us about the buildings and history. I loved being in the air without the doors. Kind of like being on a motorcycle; only in the air. Feels so free up in the air. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

    We recently took the Romantic flight with pilot Thomas and had an amazing experience. I was surprised at how smooth the ride was and that was amazing because I am prone to motion sickness. Do not miss out on the opportunity to take flight!

  • 5/5 Val K. 7 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing! The guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Definitely taking the flight again. I really enjoyed my birthday flight experience.

  • 5/5 Arturah R. 10 months ago on Google
    This was one of the most AMAZING experience ever! Rafael was absolutely amazing! I noted in my order that it was my boyfriends birthday and Rafael went out and bought 2 cupcakes for us. He was very informative and really made the experience fun. Definitely will be coming back!

    Raphael did a great job. Expelained everything very well to make us feel so comfortable. Finally got to see our beautiful city in a whole new way. Makes you appreciate tampa bay so much more. Great date night highly recommend the sunset fly.

  • 4/5 Matthew S. 1 year ago on Google
    Really fun tour. Pilot was very good and safe and made sure we had a great time. Itโ€™s a little pricey, but the views are really cool. Definitely a must do if youโ€™re visiting the Tampa area. Even if youโ€™re a local, itโ€™s cool to see the city from up high. Def recommend taking the doors off!

  • 5/5 Ruben P. 1 year ago on Google
    Did a sunset tour over Tampa and it was simply amazing. Definitely pay the extra to remove the doors off the helicopter for an unobstructed clear view of everything. Our pilot Rafael was awesome and made the trip very smooth on the ground and in the air. Highly recommend this wether you are new to Tampa or a resident of Tampa like myself just to get a birds eye view of our beautiful city. This is an awesome date night experience as well!

  • 5/5 Dain M. 10 months ago on Google
    Wonderful experience. Had done a helicopter tour before so I had an idea of what to expect but my girlfriend did not. Rafael was an excellent pilot, tour guide, and photographer for us! We did the 15 min tour and it did not disappoint. Such an awesome way to tour Tampa and see it all from above! Great option for a date as well.

  • 5/5 Rick the P. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing experience for us. Got to see Gaspirilla from the air as well as Manatee's, dolphins, and sharks. Would do it again. Pilot was great. Everything was very nice!

  • 5/5 Kassy M. 2 years ago on Google
    What an experience!! Highly recommend. Those views are priceless. We went for the night tour and it was so romantic and peaceful. Best way to celebrate someoneโ€™s birthday. Our pilot was nice and communicative the whole time.

  • 1/5 D'Mitri W. 2 years ago on Google
    They called to reschedule cause the pilot had a family issue which wasnโ€™t a problem but they scheduled my next appointment on a date that already passed they waited until we showed up and nobody was present. I called customer service to get a refund cause I did not want to do the tour anymore she advised the owner would do the refund 2-3 months go by the charge is still on my credit card so I called to dispute the charge and the owner had the audacity to still charge me making me pay for a tour I never did. Donโ€™t waste your time completely unprofessional.
