The crew was so friendly, SAFE and extremely accommodating Not to mention their rates were way less expensive than the other companies. I couldn't of asked for a better way to see LA and I would highly recommend a tour with Elite Helicopters... More

Although the prices are high, Elite Heli is cheaper than other helicopter tours of LA! I had so much fun during the flight and it was my first time flying in a helicopter!! It is definitely a must do if you can afford to do it! We did a 30 min tour of Dowtown LA and saw many celebrity homes,... More

Love it! In all the important ways, Elite was great. I took my wife and kids (ages 6 and 9) for the 45-minute flight over LA. The Elite staff were friendly, professional, accommodating -- the trip was everything I'd hoped for and more! I look forward to saving up the money for another trip with them! In order to be... More

I started doing my heli flight training at Elite after being frustrated and disappointed with a flight school in my area with their lack of availability of aircraft and instructors. I drive over 2 hours from my home to Elite, but feel it is well worth it. They are very accomadating and have several aircraft, their instructors are very knowledgable... More

We just attended the gate to Elite Helicopter Tours on a Friday evening, called the phone number on the gate sign, and asked for a tour. We had not made a reservation in advance, because it seemed to be a cloudy and foggy night. But when the clouds and fog disappeared, we took a chance and went to Van Nuys... More

Coming down to Southern California I knew I wanted to see the sites, but I was not sure about driving on the crowded freeways. The helicopter tour Elite provided was a great way for me to get to see Beverly Hills, Dodgers Stadium, and even the Hollywood sign!

The guys at Elite were professional, friendly and accomodating in every way. I can't imagine a better flying experience. The pilot was super knowledgable. I felt very comfortable in his capable hands. Got a chance to see LA from a whole new perspective at a very reasonable price. Thank you Elite!!

Elite Helicopters is the school were I finally finished my helicopter licenses. After a bad experience with 2 different flight schools I was lucky to find Elite. They helped me finish my training and they were always honest about the pricing, the flight hours and the ground school required. It is a great place to start a career in the... More
