We had the greatest time! David was an amazing teacher and guide, and shared so much wonderful information with us. He was also really great at communicating ahead of time and making sure we had all the details we needed! We saw such wonderful views of the East Bay and San Francisco, and it was a really magical way to celebrate an anniversary. Thank you Epic Aer and David!!
