I had a wonderful experience with Lukas, the instructor! There was a small mix-up with scheduling my flight, but the team was very professional and accommodating--communication was excellent. Lukas helps you feel at ease regardless of how much experience you're coming in with (in my case, none) and gives clear and kind guidance throughout your whole flight. I'm happy I decided to go with them for my discovery flight, highly recommend! Thank you! :)
