    I booked the Hollywood/Beach sunset tour for my husband’s 30th birthday this weekend and we both loved the experience! I get motion sickness pretty easily so I was quite nervous about this but I took some Dramamine and it must have helped because I had a BLAST with my husband on the helicopter. I had called the office a few days before and spoke with Claudia and Peter and they were both super professional, kind, and informative. They answered all of my questions and made me feel secure about the tour. Peter turned out to be our pilot and he was absolutely great. He pointed out major sights as we flew over them and also pointed out great shots for pictures. We were both in awe of the whole experience. I was definitely shocked but very happy that I didn’t get nauseous. It’s actually less scarier than you think once you’re on the helicopter because it feels like you’re floating (Peter was great at making sure it was a smooth ride). We will definitely be coming back in the future (can’t wait!!!). Thank you to everyone at Group 3 Aviation. It’s no wonder you all have such great reviews and I’m so glad I booked our tour with you guys!

    One of the most memorable experiences I've had! Everything was perfect, the ride was smooth, the pilot Peter was knowledgable about the city and made us feel safe. Definitely worth every penny. Don't think twice about booking! It was great! Will travel with them again.

    What an amazing experience! Peter and Claudia are excellent owners and pilots. This is a small, family owned business! We rode with Peter who was not only a great pilot but was able to call out some great landmarks along the way. There's no other way to experience the sheer size of LA except from the air! For those with motion sickness, I think you'll be pretty good here. I can't ride with other people in a car but I had no issues with the helicopter. There's nearly a 360° view in the front, and a solid 180° view or better from back seats. You'll probably feel eerie or fearful right after takeoff, but that feeling subsides pretty quickly. Be sure to grab take the complete flight, because there's lots to see! Especially the canyons! Pictures do not do justice, you need to be up in the sky for the full experience. Thank you Peter and Claudia! We'll be back! 😁

    Most epic experience in Los Angeles! Claudia and Peter went above and beyond with their service. Had a very friendly and warming personality. We flew over many wonderful places such as the Hollywood sign and Santa Monica Pier. We also got to spend some time at the Malibu private landing, where we enjoyed a picnic watching the sunset with some drinks and snacks. Definitely recommend for anyone, If you are visiting or live in LA it is a must.

    Peter the pilot and Claudia are amazing. We called last minute and they were able to squeeze us in. They offer free parking, the prices are very decent. When we started flying my wife got scared and Peter quickly calmed her down and reassured her that everything was safe. He gave us an amazing experience and is a great tour guide as well. We saw the Hollywood sign and flew over Beverly Hills and all the way to Santa Monica Pier. The view is breathtaking and well worth it.

    This tour was amazing, Peter was just so lovely and friendly and super knowledgeable about the areas we visited! It was SO much fun, and we saw so much in the time in the helicopter. He pointed out celebrity homes which was really cool and flew in close to Malibu and Santa Monica pier so we could get some really cool shots! Would highly recommend as part of your trip!

    From Claudia’s welcome, making us so relaxed to Peter’s professional piloting and informative commentary, this is one of the best flights I’ve taken. From watching the sunset at our Malibu landing spot to circling sparkling downtown was a truly memorable experience and makes you appreciate the beauty of LA.

    My husband and I had a wonderful experience for our anniversary. The view from the front was awesome, it was so much fun getting to fly in a helicopter. It was so peaceful and relaxing, the day was perfect for the tour. Thank you Claudia and Peter, you both were wonderful.

  • 5/5 Evelyn Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Peter was very friendly and experienced. Felt very safe for a first helicopter ride. The team was very accommodating and we would choose them again!

  • 4/5 Milton F. 11 months ago on Google
    Great experience. This was our first time doing a helicopter ride, and let me just say choosing group 3 aviation was by far the best choice I made. I would definitely love to come back and do another tour. The people here are so welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommend doing Hollywood and Beaches tour.

  • 5/5 Janine Saint C. 1 year ago on Google
    I booked the Movie Studio and Coast helicopter tour as a surprise for my husbands 50th Birthday, in mid April 2023. On arrival we met with Claudia who was so friendly and professional we knew we were in good hands. Peter arrived to meet us in the office and took us down for the safety briefing before we boarded. Again Peter was so friendly, knowledgeable, professional, it was clear he was highly experienced and he had some good stories to share. The flight was so smooth, Peter pointed out lots of landmarks, we were all thrilled, this is an amazing way to see the city. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Jose M. 11 months ago on Google
    Claudia and Peter were simply amazing! Way, way more than we expected. Peter took my surprise engagement to another level of excitement. Super friendly and immediately made us feel welcomed. The helicopter ride was smooth and enjoyable. The incredible bird's eye views were simply phenomenal. It was a one of a kind way to see the city. I wouldn't change anything about our entire experience. The communication from the moment of booking the activity was excellent. Peter and Claudia became part of our special love story. And indeed, she said "YES". My fiancé and I made a promise to have our children experience the magic we felt. Hands down, I highly recommend this unique and memorable experience.

  • 5/5 Maia B. 10 months ago on Google
    recently had the opportunity (my son organize suprise me) to take a helicopter ride and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we lifted off the ground, I was in awe of the stunning views that stretched out before me. The feeling of soaring above the landscape was exhilarating and I could see for miles in every direction. The helicopter ride provided a unique perspective on the area that I would never have been able to appreciate from the ground. The pilot was incredibly knowledgeable and pointed out landmarks and points of interest throughout the ride, adding to the educational and entertaining experience. The helicopter itself was comfortable and surprisingly quiet, allowing for easy conversation with my fellow passengers and the pilot. The ride was smooth and stable, with no turbulence or discomfort. Overall, I would highly recommend a helicopter ride to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. It is truly a unique and unforgettable experience that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime."

    I took my daughter on her first ever helicopter ride and we chose the Grand Tour. She had a blast, love it 😍, completely over the moon. Thank you Claudia and Peter for the great reception, genuine kindness and impeccable services! Erwin

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 2 years ago on Google
    This was a great experience. Having never been on a helicopter before I was a little nervous, but our pilot - Peter - was friendly and reassuring. It did not take long before I felt totally comfortable and enjoyed every minute of our trip. I hope to go on another ride with Group 3.

    There are very few businesses that exceed expectations before you arrive, this is one of them. We met with Peter, the pilot of our helicopter tour, and were instantly impressed with his hospitality and friendliness. He was incredibly welcoming and guided our tour with such professionalism. He answered all of my parties questions (which were endless lol) and was giving us insiders, if you will, about our City’s landmarks and interesting buildings. This tour made for an incredibly memorable experience for a small family that’s only been on a plane, where things are in and out of your view in just seconds. You are able to really enjoy and take in the scene and be up-close and personal to the daily life of us in Los Angeles. I highly recommend everyone to take this tour and experience flying in the incredibly comfortable helicopters with a truly genuine and informative pilot. Thank you Peter, you have definitely left an incredible memory in my family’s life and we will definitely be back for more!

  • 5/5 Jorge C. 1 year ago on Google
    The Grand Tour… Amazing experience! Go for it!! Claudia gave us the best service over the phone and Peter made us feel we were on good hands the moment we meet. The flight was unbelievably smooth booth take offs and landings.

  • 5/5 beau r. 2 years ago on Google
    Group 3 was amazing to work with. A very friendly team made us feel welcome and comfortable. We were referred to group 3 by someone we know and it was so much fun. Great communication and a very smooth ride. This was for my 50th birthday and It will be something I'll always remember. I highly recommend the longer tour.

  • 5/5 evan r. 2 years ago on Google
    An absolute wonderful and memorable experience. My girlfriend and I were greeted by Peter, full of smiles and calm, positive energy. Being it both our first time in a helicopter, any nerves were put to rest after chatting with Peter for a min. We chose the “coast and canyon” tour and were both amazed by the views and how smooth and relaxed the flight was. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful experience that will forever be remembered!

    Sorry for the late review, we had a honeymoon :) This is our experience. I hope it would help somebody. It was our first helicopter flight ever. And I wanted to make a proposal to my girlfriend. And a crew of Group 3 Helicopters knew about that. So, it was a little bit nervous flight, also because it was really windy that day - but not for Tom. And I appreciate Group 3 Helicopters because they made everything PERFECT! We filled out the documents before the flight. The atmosphere was brilliant. They were really friendly, careful and made the process very easy, and I felt myself comfortable. The flight was exciting! Our pilot Tom was a real professional! That windy day he controlled the helicopter like a maestro. So, I had a comfortable chance to ask my girlfriend to marry me during the magnificent sunset view. We really appreciate the team for impressions they gave us and we will remember that day for life! By the way she said YES.

    A wonderful, accommodating couple with decades of experience runs this service. They made sure everything was completely safe and sanitized. We couldn't have been happier with our experience and absolutely recommend it for the unique views of the LA area.

  • 5/5 Igor F. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 C P. 2 years ago on Google
    I surprised my wife for our anniversary with a Group 3 Helicopter Beach/Hollywood Tour. Claudia and Pete were great to work with, they even changed the flight path at my request to fly over the annual Waves of Flags display at Pepperdine University, it was magnificent to see from the air. Our pilot, Tom, was outstanding, not only did we feel safe, but his knowledge was amazing. I would definitely fly again with Group 3 Helicopters and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great air tour of Los Angeles and the beaches.

  • 5/5 Ory S. 2 years ago on Google
    The perfect way to experience Los Angeles. Our pilot was terrific - provided lots of information and was super nice and professional. We highly recommend this tour.

    We had an amazing Hollywood & The Beach Tour provided by Peter and Claudia! This was a birthday surprise for my fiancé and I could not have found a better company to make it so nice and special. Their small business provides an excellent service and experience from start to finish. They were great at communication right from the first call to book the tour. They made sure to call us and give us some options due to the weather forecast for our original time and date. They were flexible, accommodating and always very friendly. Peter was our pilot and he did an excellent job making sure that our safety comes first and that we had a great experience while being in the sky. He was a perfect tour guide in the sky as he told us so much interesting information and pointed out all the key sights. He also made me feel at ease as I am afraid of heights and it was my first helicopter ride…he did so well, I completely forgot about my fear! If you want to have a memorable helicopter ride experience over LA, then I fully recommend Group3 Helicopters! Thank you Claudia & Peter, it was an absolutely amazing experience and it was such a pleasure meeting you both! You’re the best!! Oxana & Jon

🫤 I have mixed feelings about these tours. For one, the Hollywood Red Tour was great. However, for the purple and the yellow tour, things were so messed up. The bus had audio issues and we could not hear much. Then, for the yellow tour, the guys failed to tell us where to board exactly, and the paper...

👍 Interesting and fun ride! My brother has lived in LA for over 25 years and my husband had never been to LA before at all. None of us had done this before and we all loved it. Due to Covid, the lookout on Mulholland where you used to be able to get out for 10 minutes and take pictures is closed. We...
