The Alcatraz & City Sights Helicopter Tour was an absolute thrill! Soaring above San Francisco's iconic landmarks and getting a bird's-eye view of the Golden Gate Bridge was a breathtaking experience I'll never forget.

I was blown away by the Alcatraz & City Sights Helicopter Tour! The knowledgeable pilot not only guided us through the city's fascinating history but also added a personal touch with fun anecdotes. The stunning vistas from the helicopter made this tour a truly exceptional way to explore San Francisco.
