Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Couldn't wait to go on the microlight flight on my birthday and as a bonus the weather was glorious. Leading up to this amazing experience, I had been given excellent details to the location and contact information on the day. Brad was wonderful! He made me feel very welcome, giving clear instructions about the flight and how to tailor it to my own interests. Brad is an excellent pilot, tour guide and generally a really lovely guy. He let me take the controls, which was so exhilarating, as well as explain all the intricacies of microlight flying. I would highly recommend a visit and even my husband, who's wary of heights, wants to go back to have a go!

The experience was great from start to finish. The pilot, Brad, was very friendly and told me everything that was going to happen and then told me everything that was happening as we flew in the Flexiwing aircraft and I felt safe and looked after.
It was a great thrill to be above Bath Spa and pick out all of the landmarks and to see the countryside from a different viewpoint, and I even got to see my own house from the air.
It was an exhilarating ride and I would highly recommend flying with Brad if you have the chance!

Absolutely brilliant experience. Booked twice previously but due to weather conditions they had to be cancelled. But luckily it was third time lucky.
Throughout the whole experience Brad kept me totally updated. He is such a friendly person and makes you feel so at ease.
They managed to fit a last minute request in to video the flight, which was very much appreciated.
It was amazing to be able to take control of the aircraft under Brad's calm coaching.
Can not recommend them enough, totally worth every penny amd was an unforgettable experience.

Excellent experience that I’d recommend to anyone. Brad is an excellent pilot/guide with clear instructions and lots of information about the areas we flew over. I did the open cockpit flexwing on the coldest day of the year so far but with the equipment provided was not cold at all. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

I had a fantastic experience with a flight over some of Somersets beautiful locations.
Brad was brilliant throughout, talking me through how everything works which continued during the flight, very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced.
Whole heartedly recommend this experience for anyone who would enjoy a pleasant flying experience or interested in getting into microlights.

Brilliant flight, my first experience of being in a microlight but it won't be my last! So exciting, nearest thing to feeling like a bird. Had a guided tour of the historic city of Bath from the air. Take a camera with a lanayard and you are encouraged to take your own video of the experience ( unlike many other experiences) The very experienced pilot, Brad, explained everything that was going to happen and you could even have a go at flying the microlight if you wanted! Good flying conditions are necessary so your flight can be postponed if conditions aren't perfect for safety. Would I go again, definitely!

My dad and I both did a microlight flight for our respective milestone birthdays (his 80th, mine undisclosed!). I am nervous flier but Brad was amazing and made me feel at ease. I really enjoyed the whole experience and the views were incredible, especially flying over Bath and getting to take the controls myself. My dad loved his flight too. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone, even if, like me, you don't like flying!
