Now is your opportunity to explore the East Midlands city of Leicester on this exclusive 20 minute chartered helicopter sightseeing tour for up to three passengers! Taking off from nearby Leicester Airport, a couple of miles south east of the city centre, this could be your chance to see the city skyline from the air. And believe us, there's nothing quite so exciting as seeing your familiar home city from the air, swooping over St. George's Tower, the Cardinal Telephone Exchange, and - if you're a sporting fan - iconic home grounds such as King Power Stadium (home to Leicester City F.C) and the county cricket ground on Grace Road. Rest assured, your pilot will point out all the major sights over the in-flight intercom, so you won't miss a thing - or forget this flight for a long time to come!
