Everyone else misses this when they come here! This was the best thing we’ve done in 3 visits to London. Pilot James was absolutely fantastic. We had the extra luxury of permission to fly low over the Thames and we got the best insights from James

Helicopter lessons This is an excellent Helicopter lesson. It is the first time I have ever been in a helicopter and it is absolutely amazing. I received a first class lesson from a very pleasant pilot who instructed me on all the necessary procedures and information concerning the cockpit controls and instruments. This seems to me to be the only way to get a hands on experience in a helicopter. All the staff were welcoming and had lots of information about everything one might wish to know about helicopters and all of my questions were answered. Comfortable and clean areas to sit in whilst waiting to receive my helicopter trial lesson certificate. Have always wanted to do this after seeing helicopters in my favourite films and TV series ! The helicopter itself is clean and tidy and well presented and was a pleasure to fly in.

Perfect day Our experience with EBG Helicopters was exceptional from start to finish, marked by professionalism, thoughtful communication, and an evident commitment to delivering a refined and memorable flight. From the early weather updates to the smooth check-in at Redhill Aerodrome, every stage was handled with reassuring clarity and efficiency. The team struck the perfect balance between friendliness and discretion, while our pilot was outstanding—skilled, calm, and genuinely knowledgeable, tailoring the commentary and angles of the flight to ensure we enjoyed the most spectacular views of London. The Robinson R44, impeccably maintained and perfectly suited for an intimate sightseeing tour, offered unobstructed panoramas as we followed the Thames over Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the Shard, Hyde Park, Canary Wharf, and the broader sweep of the city’s skyline. The journey felt not simply executed but curated, with every detail contributing to a sense of elegance, safety, and ease. EBG Helicopters combines technical excellence with warm hospitality, and we would be delighted to fly with them again and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable aerial experience of London.

A wonderful and memorable experience. A wonderful experience started with a warm and friendly greeting by Jeff, then an introduction to our pilot James F and our helicopter. We were given full safety instructions and James inspired confidence. He kept us fully informed throughout the flight as to where we were and things to look out for, pointing out in the distance the Shard in London and the white cliffs at Hastings. ( we had been blessed with a beautiful clear day and bright sunshine). The views were amazing and I was surprised that it felt like we were travelling really slowly, but James told us that our average speed was about 108 mph. Thank you James and Geoff for a truly memorable experience and great customer service. I was a bit nervous before we flew, even though it was my 4th helicopter trip, but to anyone who is toying with the idea of a flight, I would say “you won’t regret it”
