Sightseeing Flight
Even though weather wasn't the best one for sightseeing (foggy and cloudy), it was a great experience, and the pilot kindly kept me up to date with weather situation and available options. Both myself and my partner (neither great with heights) felt safe and looked after all the way through the experience. Will definitely repeat in warmer and sunnier weather!
