    Plane
    Breanna M.

    Our pilot Wes was SO great! From the moment he picked us up, to the moment he dropped us back off, he made us feel so comfortable and safe. Finding the entrance to the airport was easy, getting into the plane and seat belted was easy, and navigating the headset was easy! There was no moment during our tour where we felt confused or nervous about what was happening or going on. The views were AMAZING! Specially since we did the sunset tour! Our pilot was so knowledgeable on the counties history, and we actually learned a lot! The takeoff, flight, and landing were incredibly smooth. I highly recommend this establishment. You won't regret it!!

    Wesley was an excellent pilot & tour guide! A very HALCYON hour. I took the Orange County Deluxe Hour Tour: Anaheim Hills, Irvine, Downtown Long Beach, Newport Beach, San Clemente, Laguna Hills/Beach, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach. Tremendously safe! I recommend taking this safe tour!

    After a couple reschedules the flight was well worth the wait. This was a surprise for my Wife's Birthday and she was overwhelmed with excitement. We opted for a full tour on a Sunny SoCal Sunday. Access to the airport was a breeze. Bruce met us outside the guard shack, we checked-in moments later. Gave us a quick rundown of the Cesna, complementary water, headset function verification, seatbelts and we were taxiing with private jets and commercial airliners. The views were spectacular, the plane was smooth the entire time (take-off, cloud surfing and landing), no turbulence. As a local resident it was great seeing some of our favorite costal locations from above and learning of other fun facts such as the first Ruby's Dinner and Mission Basilica in San Juan Capistrano. Would certainly tour again, highly recommended!

    This experience was incredible. My daughter wants to be a pilot when she grows up and this was her Christmas present. Our pilot took the time to answer all her questions and patiently explained everything he was doing so she would understand. He made the experience incredible and so memorable. She is still talking about it!

    Love this air tour it was so peaceful and beautiful scenery the whole air tour ! Our pilot Bruce was amazing and answer all of our questions he is truly and amazing person felt like we knew him for ever ! Went for Anniversary celebration and was worth every Penny ! We will definitely be doing this again!

    I had a great experience flying with Joy Air. There is much to discuss regarding our pilot, Bruce. He exhibited warmth, friendliness, extroversion, compassion, and expertise. Moreover, he instilled a sense of safety and security in us from our initial encounter. We never experienced discomfort or a sense of insecurity. Bruce went above and beyond by taking a diversion to fly us over Disneyland, knowing we intended to visit the following day. I really endorse this tour since it was an unforgettable experience. Thank you very much.

    Wesley was our pilot. Great pilot, great experience! He had a lot of local history during the flight. Flights are reasonably priced and a lot of fun! Perfect for dates or celebrations. Tips are not required but I recommend. We all gotta eat.

    What an amazing experience! So unique to see the Orange County coastline from the sky. The pilot was very skilled and knowledgeable. The plane was small yet comfortable with great views out the windows. This company does an excellent job, making the occasion feel special if you are celebrating a special day. I would definitely recommend flying with Joy Air Tours.

    Nice view of OC. The pilot, Wesley, was a nice guy and he showed us the beautiful beaches and houses from another pov! We really enjoyed our time up there! Worth a try for sure!!!

    I cannot say enough about the experience! Smooth ride, comfortable seats, talented pilot! The best of OC from the sky ! Simply amazing! The view is obviously insane ! Pilot knew a lot of facts about the West Coast ... sharing with us every detail. He made us feel 100% comfortable ! Definitely a great way to see OC and more! We did this tour for my son, it was one of his biggest wishes . He was so excited!The booking process was seamless! Every one connected with this experience was 5 star ! Thank you! Would highly recommend!

    Amazing experience! Great customer service and very welcoming environment! Professional and prompt. Wes was our pilot and I would recommend for everyone to fly with Joy Air!!

    I was a little nervous to fly in such a small plane, but Wesley was calm and reassuring the entire flight.

    Well. That was WELL worth the money. I honestly thought it was a steal of a deal if you ask me…read more Mike and his team were more than I could have asked for - in so many ways. His training, explaining and safety prep was comforting. He obviously knows his stuff and has been doing this for a very very long time. Just the interaction and education would have been enough for me - throw in the multiple 5-gs and every maneuver that plane was capable of - FIVE STARS from me!! I WILL BE DOING THIS AGAIN!! Thank you for making me feel alive, it was such a blessing. Ps. Girls, this isn't only for guys. Get out there and DO IT!!!!! We all know you want to

    Skythrills provided such an AWESOME and exciting experience!!!! I initially thought it was a bit…read moretoo expensive for a couple of minutes in the air but it was totally worth it! How often do you have the opportunity to board a small open hangar craft and feel the wind blow by you as you soar over the world beneath you?! Not often at all. Mike was our pilot. He must be one of the friendliest guys I've ever encountered in quite some time. He gave us some nifty leather caps and a mic set so we could talk and hear from each other throughout the flight. You can tell Mike really gets a kick out of the joy others experience through flying with him. What I appreciated the most about this experience was how the plane was constructed. The biplane allowed my girlfriend and I to experience the whole flight together. I hiiiighly recommend giving Skythrills a try. Treat yo self!!!!!!

    It's 7 am, New Year's Day…read more I'm NOT hung over from last night and everyone is still sleeping. I don't feel like watching the Rose Parade live (that's what the DVR is for). So what the hell is there to do? Well, my buddy invited me to ride along in his 2012 Mustang Boss 302 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tour-d-orange-costa-mesa?select=nRV9J6Uy3N5GAgzjn6FfdA#lFeUttsr4tariW-jlORdsQ and be the navigator on a driving tour he was doing this morning. Yup that's right, a driving tour. It turns out there is this under-the-radar-event called "Tour d'Orange". This has happened each New Year's Day morning for the last 11 years now. It's a very low key event that is meant to be a fun, very relaxed and casual, car guy/gal event. In fact there were NO e-mails or announcements about this years event, yet hundreds and hundreds and HUNDREDS of cars showed up! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tour-d-orange-costa-mesa?select=nRV9J6Uy3N5GAgzjn6FfdA#t6PRoifqqa62lBaB2maPzw http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tour-d-orange-costa-mesa?select=nRV9J6Uy3N5GAgzjn6FfdA#Of6ME1pd8tdFludf7x9A5w http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tour-d-orange-costa-mesa?select=nRV9J6Uy3N5GAgzjn6FfdA#K5aY3WtkeEBcPQnrDjPpmw http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tour-d-orange-costa-mesa?select=nRV9J6Uy3N5GAgzjn6FfdA#T7SeEGhkkqLiC8jQiDi-zw http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tour-d-orange-costa-mesa?select=nRV9J6Uy3N5GAgzjn6FfdA#gxmaVdQACHfa0eWdyyNTIg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tour-d-orange-costa-mesa?select=nRV9J6Uy3N5GAgzjn6FfdA#CWB8pHfRveMxS5-t205MHQ Just before the tour was to start this DeLorean Time Machine showed up too! VERY cool! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tour-d-orange-costa-mesa?select=nRV9J6Uy3N5GAgzjn6FfdA#cyOk6JN1TKfMe8ebi3N3gw They had free coffee and donuts and only asked for a donation to children's hospital. There was even a live band playing some great rock music until the tour started! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tour-d-orange-costa-mesa?select=nRV9J6Uy3N5GAgzjn6FfdA#-Ql0oxIf1QF3vOOqqGKf5w The first car headed out about 9:15 and everyone else followed. At each traffic light it was kind of a *CF* because there were SO many cars, but they thinned out a bit as the miles rolled on. The tour is approximately 70 miles, leaving from Costa Mesa, winding its way around Orange County on some really beautiful roads through Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Corona Del Mar, Lake Forest, Rancho Santa Margarita and ends at "The District" shopping center in Irvine for lunch. There is no registration for the event, so it's just a show up and "run what you brung" type of thing. Old cars, new cars, classics, hot rods, muscle cars, customs, stock, modified, exotics, they are all welcome. This is a casual driving tour for the automotive enthusiast that's a lot of fun! It was a very beautiful drive, I had a blast and I'm look forward to doing it again next year!

    Wow, Who knew what a great time this was. Definitely a bucket list item if your into cars , music…read moreand good folks. Approximately 200 vehicles show up from concourse to rat rod and everything in between. A great band, food trucks , the whole nine. Well organized, then a great 75 ish mile cruise thru the OC and canyons, finally finishing up for lunch and another parking lot show. Will definitely be back. Thanks
