Advanced Flight

Took my best friend on the hour long tour around the city. By far, this is the best way to see LA and the surrounding area in a short amount of time. Simon is a great pilot and knows his stuff. Since it was a foggy day, we couldn’t see the Beverly Hills and LAX part of the tour, so Simon added things in to complete the hour-​long flight. I highly recommend this tour and will go again the next time friends from out of town visit.

Was surprised with a helictopter ride from Advanced flight for my 30^th birthday! Could not have asked for a better present! Simone was a great pilot and great tour guide. He was knowledgable about Los Angeles and about the aircraft. I have lived in LA for 5 years and this was the best way to see the city and get a new perspective. Whether your a tourist or have lived in LA for a long time I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Would love to do this tour again!

We took a helicopter tour around Long Beach and PV for my husband’s birthday. It was an amazing experience, worth every penny! Such an incredible way to see the city — the views were beautiful! Our pilot, Simon, was a pleasure to fly with and was an excellent tour guide. I would love to do it again!

Easily 5 stars. Simon (Owner and pilot) is extremely knowledgeable about the area and makes his clients feel comfortable on the tour. His tours allow you to view the city from a different perspective that most don’t get to see. Highly recommend Advanced flight for any helicopter tours that you are considering.

Simon is a great pilot! He is very knowledgable about his aircraft and about the areas he is touring. The views are incredible, will never get that close to the Hollywood sign again. Just an unbelievable way to see the city!

Fortunately for me, I’ve been able to take a few helicopter rides to see some amazing places and for me, this one stands out the most! I’ve done the tour with Simon a few times and each time it’s a little different and I get to see things that I never noticed before. What’s truly a testament to Simon is his uncanny way of making one feel comfortable in being in an aircraft so small. I’m not afraid to fly by any means, but when you first get in, I’m not going to lie… it’s a little nerve wracking. Simon breaks the ice with a few good jokes and a dip here and there and then it’s nothing but breath taking views from Catalina to Palos Verdes to the Hollywood sign and back! As one who was born and raised in the South Bay, it’s literally one of the most amazing ways to see where I grew up and I’m thankful to Simon for the opportunity! It’s a MUST :)
