Barry Experience Days

First time on a helicopter enjoyed it lots shame about the weather...

We bought this gift for my adult son and my 87 year old neighbour as birthday treat for them both The crew at the helicopter site were so kind and friendly The pilot was excellent at explaining the helicopter workings and what they were flying over Both of them were very impressed by it all All in all it was an amazing experience

was a great morning out, lots of choice of cars would highly recommend.

Excellent show! All the casts performed brilliantly. The show was better than expected. Definitely worth watching.

Really enjoyed this. Quirky and fun. Saw and learnt so much with excellent guides Carrie from Barry and Dave (couches). Lush it was.

I had never before been in a helicopter and found the experience to be very pleasant and also very interesting. I thought maybe the pilot could wear my age badge (91) upside down (16), but the flight was steady, comfortable and much less noisy than I had anticipated.

I had a lovely time. I always wanted to fly in a helicopter. it was a nice sunny day and the views were amazing. The Pilot told us exactly where we was in relation to the ground. It was an experience I will never forget.

amazing experience, beautiful views.

I bought this experience for my fiance as a Christmas present. He had done gorge walking before but it's something that I would usually say was out of my comfort zone so thought I'd challenge myself too. We both love Wales, especially the Brecon Beacons and I thought it would give us a different perspective from our previous visits. Pete was an amazing guide. He was very easy going but on the ball and gave very clear instructions. He kept things fun but our safety was paramount at all times. We had lots of fun jumping in and navigating the gorge. Pete took lots of pics and vids of us along the way which were sent on after the experience. My fiance and took our own full length wet suits but these were provided as part of the experience along with buoyancy jackets and helmets. Pete bought along some Haribos to give us a top up of energy. As well as the history of the gorge we learnt about some of the edible plants along the way which was a nice little bonus. The best part for me was Freya, Pete's special helper (his pet dog) she worked really hard to keep us all together and checking on us all in turn. I really surprised myself and thoroughly enjoyed it. Would recommend to anyone who loves water activities and having an adventure. Top tip you will need sturdy and comfortable footwear i.e a good pair of trainers with decent grip.

This stay was a Christmas gift for us from our daughter and the actual stay was perfect , what a beautiful place and the flowers and gardens were fabulous as was the food , room , service and bar . However the actual booking if this gift was not good at all ! I rang about February time to book a date in July only to be told I couldn’t book for another 3 months as it was too early ! When I did ring on the given date I was told the date I wanted was full ! Then tried to book the following night but same thing , full up ! I couldn’t understand this and rang Red Letter Days for advice only to be told it was nothing to do with them just deal with the hotel ! A very disappointing scenario , However our stay was just what we hoped only spoilt by the unnecessary rules and red tape and lack of interest from yourselves .
