Nice but expensive
La experiencia estuvo bien y la piloto fue agradable. Sin embargo, durante la excursión imprimen una foto que te la venden a 50$. No tiene sentido que impriman la foto si luego la van a romper. Por otro lado, aunque la experiencia es interesante, me pareció caro para el tiempo que fue.

Franz Joseph helicopter tour
Once in a lifetime experience for us! 6 in the helicopter and blue skies. Pilot fantastic. Felt very safe and views stunning!

Awesome experience but the staff ....
We had an amazing helicopter flight — the experience was incredible and the views were unforgettable. We were especially excited and grateful that we were able to land at 6,000 meters. It was truly a highlight of our trip. The only downside was the attitude of one of the staff members (no names needed) (BRIE). Her behavior came across as unnecessarily rude, not just towards us but also towards an older couple who simply didn’t understand her instructions. It felt unprofessional and didn’t match the quality of the rest of the experience. Overall, the flight itself was fantastic, but the customer service from that particular staff member could definitely be improved. Would have been 5 stars without the rudnes of brie

不一样的冰川之行
服务公司服务非常到位，提前通知我们天气状况，确保我们能够顺利的成行。 冰川的景色非常美，直升机的状况也不错，飞行员非常有经验，让我们感到很安全。 一切都非常好，就是感觉游玩时间有点短。
