We had a fantastic scenic flight with Helistar Aviation. Our pilot (Adam) was friendly and professional, and an excellent pilot. He met us right on time, and took us out to the helicopter for our ride. We were able to request the areas we wanted to see by air, and loved the experience. I highly recommend Helistar Aviation for a scenic flight in the Nashville area. It is a great way to get a good view of the many sights in the area, and to have a fun adventure in the process. It's also great that they are based at the John C. Tune Airport rather than Nashville International, so you get the benefit of flying around Nashville without having to deal with the extra traffic (in the air and on the ground) if you were to fly out of Nashville International. Helistar Aviation also offers flight training if you're interested in learning to fly a helicopter yourself. read more

Booked a helicopter tour as we were staying in Nashville and wanted to do something a little different. Easy check-in process, friendly staff. Our pilot was Travis and he was friendly & made our quick trip feel smooth. Worth the money! read more

Amazing experience!! My boyfriend made reservations for a 5:45, 15 minute downtown tour. They were right on time, SO helpful (thanks Andrew!), and the pilots were the best (thanks Brooks!). My boyfriend has always contemplated going to school to become a helicopter pilot and has even gone to the lengths of getting all the books, studying, etc. They were extremely encouraging, and may have pushed him to finally take the leap! We highly recommend flying with Helistar and can't wait to be back!! read more

First helicopter ride and can't wait to do it again! Joel was professional and friendly from start to finish and took the time to answer all of my phone calls and ridiculous emails so I could decide what to book! A piece of advice: don't worry about it- he'll take care of everything! It was August and hot outside so he offered to take the doors off the helicopter and of course we said yes! I think we flew for about an hour and we barely uttered a word because we were so excited and in awe! Luckily Joel is a great conversationalist and explained everything we were seeing and kept up the chatter! Very safe, very reliable. 10 stars if I could, this is a MUST DO in Nashville! read more

Ummmmm can I give them 10 stars??? This was an absolute amazing experience and to have Joel as our pilot and tour guide made the experience even more worth while. It's a short trip but it's worth every penny. The guys were so nice and informative about everything prior to the trip as well as when we were in the air. Next year we are definitely doing this trip again. Thank you guys for making a memorable experience for my boyfriend and I. read more

The staff here was very friendly & enjoyable to chat with. We were a little bummed because we booked a flight over the downtown area and didn't find out until we arrived that there was a flight restriction over the downtown area due to a game at the stadium so our flight was rerouted to the Opry mall area. The scenery wasn't as pretty and it was mostly flying over residential houses. It was fun though, and I definitely think we will fly again when we can actually fly over downtown. Our pilot was great. He was chatty, calmed our nerves, and gave us great recommendations for "things to do" in Nashville. I definitely suggest calling before you book to check flight restrictions :). read more

Reserved helicopter for 10 am. tour in January. The day before, the company called and asked if I would consolidate my tour with one that was flying at 1245. I agreed. Started raining at 1045am. Got to airport at 1215 for tour. As I was pulling up to the airport in Uber, they called and canceled. Asked why they had waited so long, they said they called me. Had no missed calls, so I called them out on that. Next, they said they were calling all the bookings to cancel. My guess is they forgot to call me. Another helicopter tour company took off from the airport, but the excuse this company had was that the other company had IFR, and they didn't. So wasted $100 ubering to and from the canceled tour because of their poor communication. Do yourself a favor and use the other helicopter company. Sooo disappointing! read more

"WOW WOW WOW!!" Is what our family thought after our trips (we booked 2 helicopter rides) on 7/25/21 !! Brook our pilot was AMAZING! I believe we paid 105.00 a ticket for a 20 min fly over Nashville Tennessee but we would of easily paid 205.00 a ticket now that we know how great it was. From the min arriving the staff was already super sweet always keeping us informed. I can't recommend this company enough GOOOOO it's worth every dime & more if possible book with Brook as he was pilot on both our tours and everyone loved him very much ! Thank You Helistar Aviation for a wonderful & memorable experience! read more

Absolutely loved our experience with Andrew! We wanted to find something special for our trip to Nashville (with mom for the bday) and Helistar exceeded all expectations. The flight was beautiful and safe, we got to see all of the staples of Nashville during our 20 minute tour, and learned a lot of high-level history about the city. We had no issues with motion sickness so it's friendly for all and easy to find. Book a tour with Andrew on their website now! read more

AMAZING experience!! Booking was insanely easy, and it wasn't expensive. We actually booked through Groupon. Got the confirmation emails quickly and signed waivers electronically. We chose a time just after dark and got to see some incredible views of the Nashville skyline, downtown and Broadway, the Parthenon, the entire Vandy campus, the bridges over the river, and the Titans stadium. Our pilot was incredible. He was funny, helpful, really experienced and you could tell he truly loves what he does. The ride was smooth from start to finish. We definitely want to go back for more and this one is highly recommended. Fantastic date night idea. We went for our anniversary right before a nice dinner. read more

Amazing trip with a friendly, knowledgeable, safe pilot. Loved the tour and will be returning

5 Star service! We were greeted immediately upon arrival by a professional and friendly staff. Our pilot Brook could not have been more accommodating to our group. It's not only the best helicopter tour you'll ever go on, it's probably going to be the best customer service you've ever received. From beginning to end they made every aspect of our booking special. We could not have asked for more and I'll definitely refer others with confidence read more

This is the most unprofessional, poor managed service. Drove 12 hours away to come here to be told when I arrived at the location for my tour that they were have issues. Not once did I get a call nor an email. I would suggest not to ever go here, your better off throwing your money away! WORST PLACE EVER!!!!!! Zero stars from me but you they won't let you post without choosing a start don't let the 1 fool! read more

Great service and wonderful experience! My husband and I didn't know what to expect but they definitely went above and beyond with their personable and fun flying experience. These people love what they do and it shows. read more

This was our first time in a helicopter and it was absolutely amazing. Brook was excellent as a pilot and as a tour guide. He constantly pointed out places of interest and was very friendly the entire trip. If you're nervous about flying in a helicopter, don't be. Brook is an amazing pilot and my wife and I had a blast! Thanks Brook. read more

I gave this experience as a gift to my Aunt And she couldn't have been mor thrilled. Joel greeted us upon arrival and was a wonderful pilot and guide. Highly recommend Helistar and Joel. Thank you! read more

We signed up for two tours with Helistar and we where billed $328. Upon arrival to the airport we were told there was no record of our reservation. The man at the desk then called the owner and he said tell them that the battery is low so we will have to issue a refund. We are from out of town and booked this tour based on a 5 star review so I felt I should share my experience so others don't make the same mistake. This is obviously an unorganized and unprofessional business. read more
