Adventure 001 Reviews 2,006

I booked a 30 minute flight over Cambridge for my husband's 70th birthday. What an amazing experience! We live in Cambridge and it was fun to identify all the wonderful landmarks, including our own house. In fact we could easily see our front door and garage and we've taken a few photos from the helicopter. It's great to see where we are in relation to all the landmarks we know. The pilot was really friendly and so were the ground crew and the two other passengers who shared the flight. We felt safe and thoroughly excited the whole time. I strongly recommend this experience. In fact, we're going to do it again for my 60th in September. My husband had the front seat this time and he said there was so much to see. However next time, he said, he won't take so many photos and will concentrate on looking out of the window a bit more (and he wants me to have the front seat too).

Our son bought a flying lesson for two for my husband and I for Christmas. I hate heights so was very dubious, my hubby was very keen! Our instructor and pilot Tony was fabulous and put me at ease. Though I still had white knuckles and wet palms....I did it, and was very proud of myself! Tony was very knowledgeable in his subject and very funny, which did help with my tension! Would recommend to everyone.

I thought my helicopter experience was a complete waste of money. They advertised for a 6 mile helicopter experience and in fact it only lasted 5 minutes. Which I think is misleading the customer here. They asked me to pay another £15 to sit in the front which we did, but again thought this was a waste of money just for a 5 minute trip. They also charged extra for photographs which in fact they could have emailed to me, which cost nothing! I would not recommend this company as they are only thinking about money and what they can get out of the customer.

I was very nervous before flying but all the staff were lovely and supportive, I would definitely recommend the helicopter ride to all of my friends and family. Thank you so much for this experience and I will definitely be coming again.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!! First time I’ve had an opportunity for helicopter pleasure flight. Once they’ve got your money, they don’t care.
Had to extend my voucher for personal reasons twice, paid the extra, now I’ve had to cancel again, they want more payments again. Don’t even think about asking for your money back, that’s a definite no.
Will not recommend this company and will never use again.

This was bought for us as a present. We tried to use last year, and it had to be cancelled for safety, which is ABSOLUTELY fair enough - I do not want that compromised at all! However, in order to get another flight in, even with the extension of the ticket, we had to pay to upgrade. Closer to the day we were emailed saying it was a different helicopter and so I asked about swapping who was on the flight, I was told this was doable but with a £12.50 fee. Begrudingly, I paid this. Just before the flight day we were emailed saying there was now a £5pp surcharge due to the issues in Iran. This was hidden, very well hidden, within the T&C's at the bottom of the page, nowhere on any of the actual emails or correspondence we received. While looking at the site I spotted that actually you can change passengers for free online. I queried this with the person who emailed us (Operations Manager), and while he replied very quickly with a link to the T&Cs for the supplement, he said the change was always chargeable. I sent back screenshots showing where this wasnt the case and have had radio silence ever since.

The company seems to be desperate to make money if I'm honest which really has taken the shine off the whole thing. We have had LOADS of emails offering upgrades/changes etc. and then to charge for something which can be done for free is just unethical and a bit immoral.

In terms of the crew at Newcastle, these were brilliant and so was the flight. Its just a shame that the money grabbing charging has put a dampner on the whole day.

My wife and I very much enjoyed the steam train trip between Chinnor and Princes Risborough. Lots of attentive and well informed staff who clearly have a passion for the project. Our little dog was also made to feel very welcome. The trip is quite brief (about 15 mins each way) but it was great to sit in one of the atmospheric old carriages again in a trip back to yesteryear., Later we went for a very nice walk in the local Chinnor countryside also recommended

The relationship Adventure 001 has with the experience provider, in this case JJ's is clearly first class. My friend and I both turned up as complete novices with voucher in hand and the guy running the office was welcoming and made us feel like we were already club members. We were brought into the stand early and met other guys who had purchased the experience through Adventure 001 who added to our enjoyment as a larger group is more fun. We had one of their most experienced coaches "H" who made the experience even better. Will definitely use Adventure 001 again and recommend to family and friends.

I booked the extended Dambusters Tour for my husband and grandson for Christmas 2024.
Despite the cancellation in 2025 and then dates that we couldn't make, my husband and grandson finally had their tour on Sunday 19th April.
Quick check in on arrival and even better that it was across from the Moorlands Pub on Owler Bar, so toilet stop and a hot drink before set off.
The clear skies and sunshine made it a memorable experience for them both.
My 10 year old autistic grandson who's obsession of reservoirs and dams absolutely loved it and the other passengers mentioned he knew more than the pilot as they flew over Derbyshire.
Many thanks to the pilot and friendly ground staff who made the check in process for the waiting passengers go so smoothly.
Well worth paying for the extended 25 minute Tour, even my husband thought it was fab, so thank you it was well worth the wait.

Awesome helicopter flight! The helicopter flight was amazing we all loved it. The whole team on the ground and our pilot were great, really helpful and attentive. The whole experience went smoothly thanks to a great team. We will definitely be booking another flight with adventure001 in the future. Thank you for making our day special!

Staff very helpful, reassuring and friendly.
The pilot was lovely and introduced himself and then talked about what we could see and answered questions that were asked.
The 2 ground men were very helpful, helping my 74 year old mom back into the waiting area after we had took off and helping my 82 year old dad to get in and out of the helicopter.
The process was well organised and all staff were friendly and helpful.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with you.
Thanks

From the minute I arrived, everything about this experience was first class - the setting, parking, cafe, staff and the experience itself. I had a great time and highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience. Very helpful and friendly staff that went out of their way to help my terminally ill husband fulfil his bucket list . I would def book again.

The flight was a great experience, it was part of my eightieth birthday present. The whole team were lovely and a photo to help remember the day.

April 18th 2026, Falcon experience taster day was fantastic. The birds are so beautiful. The handler was fantastic, she answered all the question, really interesting. The bond between them was amazing.

Super helicopter ride over the South Lakes, UK. We had to re-book this trip from several months before but thankfully this time the weather held and we had such wonderful views over Morecambe Bay and Lake Windermere. Very memorable. Staff were lovely and we felt very safe.

What a brilliant day flight was amazing. Staff were kind professional and knowledgeable. Especially janie so kind and helpful ☺️. And our pilot jules was really brilliant, thanks to you all at 001.

From start to finish the team we're very professional, very friendly and most of all, made my husband & I feel very safe. Our pilot was a really nice guy too! The whole experience was a lovely day to remember. I would recommend these guys to anyone.

Fantastic helicopter flight over Derbyshire and Chatsworth House. Bought as a birthday gift for my husband. Easy booking process. On the day the staff were friendly, professional and helpful. Safety talk before flight with clear instructions how to safely enter/exit helicopter. Our pilot Tom talked through sights and very informative on local area. A fantastic experience which we now want to do again.
