This is the second time we've taken a bi-plane tour, and it was worth it both times! Andy, the pilot, is a great pilot and host. Definitely recommend trying this on your next visit! Personally, the longer the flight time you choose, the better your experience.

We actually came across this place by accident, but wow it was amazing!
They were straight forward with their pricing, great customer service, we didn't have to wait too long for our turn. I went with our 6 year old son, and my husband went with our three year old. Everyone loved it. It was a little pricey, but well...
