Helicopter Ride
Discussion
Hi all,
Just thought it might be useful to post my experience of the Helicopter Tour on circuit as the info we had was a little out of date.
Cost: €115 pp
Duration: 10 mins
Area Covered: 1.5 laps
Firstly to say it had been an un-ticked box of mine for years and the experience was excellent. Following the cars up the Mulsanne Straight was amazing! Well worth the money, even though pricey.
If you're tempted its worth booking a day before. The two of us walked over on the Saturday afternoon to be told if we wanted to go in the same chopper we'd have to book for Sunday afternoon, which we did. Other than that there isn't any other planning to consider.
Location is easy, just over the road behind the Michelin grandstand next to Bleu Nord.
Thoroughly recommend it!
Pics attached.

Excellent thanks for that, what is the deal with occupants?
If only one of you is there do you get the chopper to yourself?
If there are two groups then do they combine them?
If so who gets the front seat?
Finally is that a chopper price or person price?

They fill the chopper with 5 people, If you're on your own, you sit with other people that you don't know. If you're a group of five then I think you've got every chance of getting the chopper to yourself as a group. I would imagine this is provided you've booked in advance though. We were offered one of us to go on the Saturday at 3:30pm, and and the other person to go on the same day but different chopper and different time because of what spare seats were available. Hence why we went Sunday instead. We were combined with another group of 3 people.
Front seat is a bit of a lottery but it seemed to be based on weight; fortunately my brother was luckily enough to bag that seat!
Price is indeed per person.
