The pilot and driver were both very friendly and helpful. The day was magical, and the views were amazing. The winery was brilliant, again very private, and the tastings were very generous and informative. We loved the magical day we had. The only thing worth mentioning, is that the aircraft is not as it appears on the advertisement, even for the private tour upgrade. We had a much older plane, and there was no bubbles on the plane as it appears in the…”

11.Toronto Skyline Helicopter Tour CN Tower Loop

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 15 minutes (approx.) · from $133

Take a private helicopter flight from Toronto’s Polson Street helipad and circle the CN Tower at a height above its top observation point. Your pilot and ground team provide safety instructions before the flight. If the Rogers Centre roof is opening, you may be able to look inside from above.

“One must experience an helicopter ride in their lifetime. A little nervous in the beginning eventhough I have taken over 100 flights but it was not bad at all. Pilot and groud staff were knowledgeable and accommodating. Two things to mention: 1. The helipad is in a commercial parking lot which might confuse you to find the address. It's on far right side at the end of the polson street. 2. The 15 minute ride includes 7 minutes ground instructions which are must. It still is worth experiencing. All the best!”
