My wife and I did a trip with John this Saturday from Essendon to a winery in the Yarra Valley, a 30 minute flight each way. John was amazing! He gave a site seeing tour on the way to and from, pointed out different places in the city and country side, and made the trip incredibly enjoyable. He also lined up an amazing lunch for us at De Bortoli Winery. We could not have had a better time.

I took my wife on a private helicopter tour to De Bortoli winery for her birthday, and it was a 10/10 experience. Our pilot John was a true gentleman, it was an absolute joy to have him fly us around. Highly recommended!

I was lucky enough to accompany my friend with her father for his 92nd birthday on a flight. Bit apprehensive but Steve the pilot was wonderful with answering questions and easing all of us into our wonderful flight over Melbourne!

Our first-ever helicopter ride was an absolutely amazing experience! My wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I had the pleasure of flying with pilot John, who was not only highly professional but also a true gentleman. From the smooth takeoff to the perfect landing, everything was handled with great expertise. John made the journey even more special by pointing out landmarks and keeping us informed about our location throughout the flight. The breathtaking views and the thrill of flying made it an adventure we’ll never forget. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in the skies!

John was awesome, really friendly and informative. The helicopter ride was fantastic and the best possible way to visit a winery! Had a ball and very much worth the money.

My friend and I took a helicopter trip to De Bortolis for lunch and had the best time. John absolutely made our day. He took such great care of the booking, making sure we had great weather. He took time to show us the sites. Would highly recommend John and his flight experiences.
