Attention Edinburgh lovers, this is the experience for you. If you love exploring the historic city on foot and enjoy soaking up the stunning architecture, there's nothing better that can compliment this than a Helicopter flight giving you unique, aerial views. Climbing to a height of 1000ft, you will be treated to incredible views over the city, as well as being able to see the Firth of Forth in the distance. Although there’s nothing like a days exploring and getting lost through the winding city streets, you can only fully appreciate the beauty of this city from the air as you take in the breadth of Arthur’s set or an overview of Edinburgh Castle. Once you have your feet back firmly planted on one of the city’s streets, you'll have an even greater appreciation for the wonder of this city and all it has to offer. If you’re jumping onboard and have no prior experience of the city, you are also in for a treat as your pilot also acts as a guide, directing you to look at all the tourist locations from the air and knowing the best photo opportunities. Not only is this Helicopter ride a fantastic way to get an overview of Scotland’s capital city from the air, but an ideal way to appreciate the architecture and design of it from afar.
