I booked a helicopter flight with Marie as a surprise for my husband's 30th Sobriety Birthday. I talked with Marie on the phone many times getting information about the helicopter ride. I had many questions for her. She was always very friendly and helpful and kind on the phone. My husband was thoroughly surprised. He had always wanted to go on a helicopter ride. He rode up front with the pilot Matt and our youngest son Nicholas and myself sat in the back. That's all there was room for. We were all very comfortable and excited waiting for takeoff. Matt the pilot was a very good host and gave us a really good tour of Philadelphia. We flew over several bridges and Penn's Landing and looped over Citizens Bank Ballpark and Lincoln Financial Football Field twice (we were allowed to do that that particular day because there were no ballgames that day). He was very professional at all times and graciously answered all our questions. Along with his professionalism he had a good sense of humor and laughed at all of our jokes (including our helicopter joke) no matter how corny they were. He also had some humorous anecdotes of his own. My husband and I went on a Hot Air Balloon ride a few years ago which we thoroughly enjoyed although our experience with Matt the pilot on our helicopter ride superseded that experience. We went on Sunday October 15, 2023 at 3pm. We almost couldn't take off that day because of the winds but luckily the winds died down and we were cleared for takeoff. The three of us thoroughly enjoyed our helicopter flight that day and on the way home we enjoyed a beautiful sunset and a good dinner at a Texas Roadhouse. We will have a good memory of that day for many, many moons to come. My husband and I would highly recommend Matt and Sky River Helicopters to add to someone's Bucket list as an exciting and memorable experience.

We took the NYC sunset tour on 5th Nov. We were very happy that everything worked like clock work. Sky river @maria was very responsive and worked with me to finalize the plan. Sal our Pilot was very friendly and professional. The Differentiator I perceived with Sky River is that unlike the NYC companies .. they treat you respect not as one of the many tourists.. good work SR.

I took a Learn to fly class this past weekend and had a blast. My instructor talked me through every step of the way and really did an amazing job. I loved it.
