Helicopter Tour Dubai — Local services in Dubai

We booked for the f1 there was an Advert stating do you want to fly f1 we asked and confirmed 4 times did they have permission to drop at the f1 paddock club entrance with the vehicle that would be waiting on the other end . We even made a big deal to ensure this was the case . We made the hotel ring the helicopter firm to confirm and we had a confirmation we would have no issues like we had the day before with the driver service . They even rang us at 10 am to confirm there would be no issues as I have bad legs and can’t walk far . When we landed the vehicle left us in the Abu Dhabi stranded with no way to get to the f1 we were told then vehicle had no permission although we made a point in confirming they had 4 times ! The result was we had to walk 30 mins to get a bus then another 40 mins to get to paddock club . Someone in their marketing department had a bright idea to advertise f1 and no one got permission for their vehicles although it was confirmed 4 times they had . I am furious this was a waste of money . I complained yesterday and was told a manager would be in contact no one has apologised . This is completely false advertising and I don’t like being lied to . This was a complete waste of our time and money . It was not a luxury experience but meant walking a hour in the heat as they are so unorganised and clearly do not know what they are doing . No management has been in contact to deal with this . It’s shocking this has happened even after several confirmations this would not...

My Mrs and I chose 25 minute shared Heli tour through the app GetYourGuide. Was picked up on time by pickup service and very generous person who took us to other places too.

The process from start to finish was well executed with safety briefing and security clearance. I was allowed to take my Canon 70D with 18-35mm Sigma Artline which was perfect for the trip. You can capture more of the picturesque dubai regions.

'I AM AFRAID OF HEIGHTS', and believe me as soon as the heli lift off i was holding on for dear life while my wife was laughing at me. I honestly became more comfortable 2mins after a sharp right turn towards Atlantis and Burj Al Arab.

During the tour the pilot was very informative and creative with jokes and valuable information of important landmarks. After the experience for AED265, we picked up a USB with all photos and videos.

Would love to go again and recommend for everyone to do.

Here are some pictures snapped by my Mrs on the Note 10 plus.

I will add more...

We 3 free ends visited Dubai for 6 nights n 7 days, Helicopter ride we did on 13 November 2019. It was about 12 minutes ride, at a time 5 can ride the copter including the pilot. One who sits next to pilot in the cockpit n two o either side of back seat for 4 can clearly take a video but I was in the middle seat so couldn't take a better video. Its nice experience but doesn't meet your expectations as it ends very soon. You will be given time slot which starts from morning 9 n till evening. Each group will be given a short lecture on safety measures before you climb into the copter. You have to tie safety jacket around your waist.The apartments in the shape of of a palm tree is clearly visible, The palm Atlantis hotel, All Bur Dubai the 7 * hotel, the palace, The Burj Khalifa , the ocean below is enchanting . .
