I've wanted to see Everest up close for most of my life, and this tour was an absolutely perfect way to do it. Everything was organized seamlessly, from the detailed event coordinator to our very experienced pilot, and I felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time. We were blessed with stunning weather and had amazing views both of Everest and her base camp, and from the balcony of the Everest View hotel for breakfast.
If you want a chance to see Everest up close without needing to hike to base camp, this is the tour to do it with. I also appreciated that the coordinator was very clear that if the pilot did not deem it safe enough to travel, the tour would not be proceeding, even if passengers were already sitting in the helicopter (and you'd get a full refund, if so!). The focus on safety as #1 priority made me all the more glad I'd booked this tour.
It is expensive, but what you get out of the experience is worth the money. The absolute highlight of my entire trip!
