We took the 45 minute tour of Boston, which took us first over the southern suburbs and the harbor with views of beaches, islands and lighthouses, then around downtown Boston with views of many landmarks and neighborhoods from different angles. Making reservations was easy, the staff was friendly and professional, the flight was smooth and the whole experience was beautiful and memorable. Highest recommendation!

I booked the 60 minutes tour from the UK, and had many questions before I travelled. I emailed these through and they were all answered promptly and thoroughly.

I booked via the website which was easy and informative.

We took a Lyft to Norwood it was about 25 mins from the city. We arrived early but chilled in the trendy and comfortable reception room.

When we were ready to go we were taken across to the helicopter in a golf buggy. Our pilot (Hans) was super friendly and took photos of us outside the helicopter.

The 60 mins flight first takes you to Gillette stadium this was a huge surprise for my boyfriend as he is a patriots fan (this was his 40th birthday surprise). Then it takes you out over the Islands and along the coast line back over the city.

Sights were incredible, pilot told us lots of interesting facts and information as we flew over different areas.

I couldn't recommend this more, it was the most incredible experience and the best way to spend my boyfriend's 40th birthday!

If you get there early or you have to wait for your Lyft or Uber there is a diner next door, lovely friendly staff and great food.

Written by a hotel Concierge with Boston Yacht Haven Inn & Marina (Mike K):

This tour was just incredible from start to finish. Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff, and great pilots. There were three of us from the hotel industry who went on this morning tour over Boston (you can have up to 3 people in the helicopter provided the 3 combined do not exceed the total maximum weight limit), the others being from the Intercontinental Boston and the W Boston. All of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and as Concierges would highly recommend. It was a beautiful, sunny day and we enjoyed every minute of it. Again, we would highly recommend any of their variety of tours to anyone visiting Boston. It really is that great of an experience. Their location in Norwood is only about a 30-minute ride outside the city to get there if you are staying in Boston, and once you are in the air you are back in Boston in under 10 minutes viewing the city. For anyone who may have a fear of flying or helicopters, which can be understandable, this ride was very smooth and in our opinion there is nothing to be afraid of. The pilots are all very seasoned and great at what they do. Thank you Blue Hill Helicopters! I will be back to take another tour without a doubt.

Each year I try to do something fun with my two daughters at the end of the school year. Today we went on a helicopter tour of Boston and I can’t even begin to express in words how great of a time we had...beginning to end! The staff at Blue Hills Helicopters were amazing. Super clean office, super friendly and super professional. The owner was an awesome down-to-Earth individual. Our pilot, Christian was PHENOMENAL! My girls and I were very impressed and look forward to doing it again...
Blue Hills Helicopter (helicoptertourboston.com) is saved into my contact list! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I purchased the Boston helicopter tour Groupon for my boyfriend's birthday. We brought his 9-year old son with us, who absolutely loved sitting up front with Nick, the pilot. We were pleasantly surprised at how smooth a ride it was and the amazing views that we saw from such a different perspective. He was very professional, cautious, and willing to take photos of us. My only suggestion is I think we were hoping for more information to be shared with us along the way, such as anecdotal stories or interesting facts about the sites we were flying over. It was also cool to spend some time watching the planes come in and out of the airport before our actual flight. The experience is definitely something everyone should check out at least once!

Sunset tour of Boston, smooth ride, incredible views! Thanks to our amazing pilot Nick Zecher, my son and I had a great time taking a tour of Boston this way. We had spent the whole day touring Boston on the ground, so to see it from the air this way was awesome. I had given this gift to my son as part of his Christmas gift. He's getting older so trying to pin him down for quality father-son time is tough and we finally had a chance to just hang out for the day. Nick our pilot was very friendly and informative, not just about the helicopter, and answering all of our "hey this is our first flight jitters," but pointing out highlights throughout our ride and making sure we were comfortable and enjoying the trip. THANKS Nick!

This was a birthday gift for my teenage daughter.
I was unsure if this would just scare her too much to enjoy...however...this was so fantastic. Our tour over Boston was about half an hour. It only took us a few minutes to feel comfortable enough to let go and take pictures. Our pilot was so down to earth nice and knowledgeable. We would do this again! Best pictures of Boston!!

This 30 minute helicopter tour of Boston was fabulous! I am afraid of heights, but the pilot, Nick, put me at ease and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. The ride was very smooth and take off and landing were both very soft. Boston from the air is so exciting to see. I was actually sorry when the trip ended.
