Great gift

I recently purchased this as a gift for a plane trip, and it turned out to be a great choice. I really liked that you could add a pre-selected extra for an additional charge it was optional, of course, but it definitely enhanced the overall experience and made the gift feel more special, almost reminiscent of something out of Fifty Shades of Grey. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would absolutely consider purchasing again. I’m looking forward to using it.

Amazing Easter present

We bought this experience for our grandchildren and they were absolutely delighted withe the safari followed by afternoon tea. The children were excited to take their own photographs of the day and show their parents when we returned home. Will definitely recommend the experience snd cant wait to return! The grandchildren thought we would be lucky enough to win the tiger lodge experience competition so we will have to keep trying. Thank you for the best day

3rd time lucky

After 2 attempts in the summer, cancelled due to poor weather conditions, it was 3rd time lucky. The staff were very friendly and helpful on all occasions, and apologetic when cancelled. The flight was smooth and interesting, going over the sea, over a castle and grounds etc. About 15 minutes into the flight, you take over the controls, under the guidance of the pilot.

Fantastic gift

Brillant experience. Pilot/Instructor was superb explaining how it all worked and allowing me to fly the microlight for a short while. Happily do again and would recommend to all.

Fantastic experience

We took my 3 children, 16, 19 & 21, to the Bedford Micro light Centre yesterday to redeem their vouchers (it was a Christmas present) and we had a great time. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by all the staff who friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Our instructor conducted a thorough safety briefing and put us all at ease - we were all a bit nervous initially, having never done this before. Before taking off he turned the micro light around and taxied slowly past the viewing area each time so that we were able to take photos/videos before each of them went up - nice touch. It was quite a chilly day, so the wood burner in the reception area helped keep us all warm. The children had a wonderful day and we would strongly recommend the Bedford venue - thank you.
