About this experience

Experience Nashville’s holiday magic from above on a cozy helicopter tour that sparkles with festive lights and Christmas cheer. Arrive 10 minutes early at 220 Tune Airport Dr (Suite 111) for check-in and a quick safety briefing. A friendly AeroLuxe team member in a red-and-black shirt will greet you and escort you to your helicopter. Slip on Bose noise-cancelling headsets, chat with your pilot, and prepare for takeoff. Soar above downtown displays, glowing neighborhoods, and twinkling streets that capture the spirit of the season. Snuggle up in the warmth of the cabin—or bring your own hot cider for a romantic touch—as you enjoy about 30 minutes of dazzling holiday views. After landing back at John C. Tune Airport, we’ll escort you inside to wrap up with photos and questions. AeroLuxe Aviation’s Christmas Lights Tour is a warm, unforgettable way to celebrate the magic of Nashville at Christmastime.
