Bruce is hands down the best! not only is the tour itself so mesmerizing , Bruce himself is so knowledgeable about everything! my mom was EXTREMELY hesitant because she hates heights , but he made sure there were no sudden moves that would make her uncomfortable (besides the few wind gusts that are beyond his control) to say the least my mom agreed to going AGAIN!! We will definitely be back for a night tour. Thank you Bruce for being so attentive read more

Celeste Helicopter Tours - Aerial Tours Near Me - Hawthorne, California

We had a fantastic time flying a Los Angeles area tour with Bruce. We did the hour tour. Bruce is a great pilot, knowledgable, and has a calm demeanor - exactly what you want when flying in a helicopter. We chose Bruce because of the 5 star reviews and because I wanted an owner / operator for the tour. My hunch was right and we had a very enjoyable tour of Los Angeles. Take a look at our photos! Book with Bruce and have a great time! His rates are reasonable (I know - I compared them to everyone else on Yelp) so you have every reason to get in touch and take that tour you've been thinking about! read more

This pilot and his aircraft were just simply top shelf. He was so adept and skilled I felt nothing but pure elation over the entire trip from take off to landing. He knows just what route to take to soak up all the views Southern California has to offer. Another reason that I plan to book many more times with Celeste Helicopter Tours is because of how knowledgeable the staff is on the area and how this enables them to really educate you on what to be looking at and for regardless of if your a local or from out of town. BRAVO!!! read more

Our pilot was completely understanding and was great, I love doing photography so this was a great experience and he was able to get all the pictures I wanted to do. Will do it again. Per read more

Bruce was very personable, knowledgeable, and the customer service was top-notch. He shared great stories about the many landmarks we flew over which made the trip even more memorable. The flight was smooth and breathtaking, offering stunning views of the city from above. I would highly recommend this helicopter tour to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable adventure. We definitely plan on taking another flight at some point in the near future. Bruce, thank you for providing such great customer service and making this a trip to remember! read more

Celeste Helicopter Tours - Bruce of Celeste Helicopter Tours and a couple happy patrons. - Aerial Tours Near Me - Hawthorne, California

After discussing a few bucket list items a few months back, I decided to reserve a helicopter trip as a Christmas present for my boyfriend. Of course there were a few choices on google and Celeste caught my eye because of the awesome reviews. All 5 stars of course, not surprising! From the very first contact Bruce was responsive, friendly and helpful. We had dinner at Eureka restaurant before our flight. Food and service was excellent and it is right next door to the jetway so it's perfect. We took our ride after dinner and it was nothing short of amazing! We took the one hour trip at 4:30 and I am glad I chose that time slot. We got to experience all the beautiful colors of the sunset. The flight itself was amazing but taking it with Bruce was the cherry on top. Would HIGHLY recommend taking a trip with Celeste Helicopters. You will not regret it! read more

Bruce was an excellent pilot! We met with him around 6:30pm (sunset) and we had an amazing time. We were contemplating between sunset or night view but we are glad we did sunset view. We got to see the ocean, all the beautiful estate of LA, and the beautiful skyline. Bruce was friendly and informative! I highly recommend this not only for people that are new with LA but even ppl who's lived here for a long time! It will open your eyes! When we flew, the dodgers were playing so we couldnt go through DTLA but we went close enough to see the beautiful high rise from a far. It was my first time flying on a helicopter and it was surprisingly a very smooth ride. I didnt feel sick at all as well! Great date activity! We went for our wedding anniversary! What a great way to build more memorable moments with your loved ones! read more

This is the best and only real way to see all of LA! Bruce has such an extensive knowledge about the LA area, and as seen in the pictures, the view is incomparable. I was a little nervous at first when my boyfriend surprised me with a tour, but Bruce was a perfect pilot and made us feel extremely safe. He accommodated our date night by taking pictures for us and letting me have the "best seat" in the helicopter. It really made our date extremely special. This is the top tier way to experience a CA sunset, I would highly recommend. read more

My boyfriend took me on what I thought would be a terrifying ride as I'm scared of heights but decided to give it a try. It turned out to be an unforgettable helicopter ride. Our pilot Bruce was really patient with me and made me laugh along the way, helping me calm my nerves. We decided to eat at Eureka right before and it was so convenient because it's literally right next door to the check in. We enjoyed a few drinks and headed over. Bruce was so knowledgeable of the city and pointed out all the landmarks worth seeing. We got an amazing view of Dodger Stadium and the Hollywood sign! The most breathtaking view was the ocean! Little did I know, my boyfriend would propose up there! It was so magical! Bruce, thank you for accommodating the surprise in the ride! We appreciate all your care and attention. read more

First time on a helicopter. The tour was amazing I had a blast.I absolutely recommend taking a tour with Celeste. read more

Bruce is an excellent tour guide and pilot who not only makes your experience special, but also engaging & entertaining throughout the whole ride. More importantly, he takes safety VERY seriously, which to me, is the most important thing when it comes to going on more "adventurous" activities such as helicopter rides. Before and throughout my tour, he communicated very clearly and thoroughly the safety procedures, best practices, and what he looks for in determining flight conditions, and I was made to feel that I am in the very best hands. If you are a local, you will re-discover the beauty of Los Angelos and nearby cities that you may have missed during your busy day-to-day; if you are visiting, you will gain a once-in-a-lifetime experience! read more

Believe it or not my boyfriend and I's plans changed last minute due to the war so we didnt end up going on this flight. However, Bruce's communication and flexibility with us was so amazing. He relieved all hesitation I had about going on a helicopter by giving me throurough explanation of his safety procedures. He answered all questions I had quickly and in detail. He made the booking process(and cancellation) for us so so easy. I'm sad I won't be able to fly with him but I recommend everyone to go with this guy. Customer service 10/10!!! He knows his stuff for sure! Also offers one of the most affordable prices in Los Angeles. read more
