What Can I Expect
Exclusive Leicester sightseeing tours! All helicopter flights are private charters for up to three passengers, departing from Leicester Airport, just a couple of miles southeast of the city centre.
We have vouchers for 10, 15, 20 and 30-minute private tours. All flight paths depend on weather and traffic on the day, but if you live in Leicester, there could be a chance to see your home from the air, which is pretty cool!
Even on the 10-minute thrill flight, you will travel quite a distance, checking out the patchwork Leicestershire farmland below you and the suburbs of Leicester beyond.
A 15 minute tour gives you enough time for your heli tour pilot to take you into the countryside a bit more. Depending on wind and weather conditions, you can expect to see the likes of busy commuter town Market Harborough, the yellow stone buildings of Oakham and Melton Mowbray, the home of Pork Pies!
City dwellers will love the 20 minute City Skyline tour. There is something really quite magical about seeing your all-too-familiar city centre from a very unfamiliar angle. You'll swoop over iconic tall buildings such as St George's Tower and Cardinal Telephone Exchange. Sporting fans will adore seeing Leicester City's King Power Stadium, the Welford Road home of Leicester Tigers and Leicestershire's County cricket ground at Grace Road.
The country's smallest county comes into full view on the Rutland Water tour. The helicopter heads over the Leicestershire border into Rutland on this 30 minute trip. You'll soar over the reservoir, including the Normanton Church museum that sits right on the shoreline and all those pretty-as-as-surrounding villages.
And don't forget, your exclusive Leicester sightseeing tour voucher is for the whole helicopter for up to three passengers on a private charter!
