Fantastic experience
This is a fantastic tour! First of all, it’s great value for money: just 250–300 dollars for an incredible experience that you’ll remember for the rest of your life! The staff are really lovely and friendly! The pilot was also cheerful and funny. I had a brilliant time and am so glad I decided to go on this tour! New York is incredible from every angle, but especially from the window of a helicopter! Thanks from Russia!

Excellent trip. The pilot's commentary was excellent pointing out the various landmarks. We took some wonderful videos and photos. My grandson (18 yrs) ended up sitting in the front with the pilot, which he absolutely loved. You are told where to sit and it worked out well for him! We were a party of 4 and the helicoptor held 6, and I think that it made it more special that there were only 6 of us. We chose the 30 mins tour and it was money well spent. Would definitely recommend.

1st time on a helicopter; awesome experience!
I loved this experience! Everything was very well organized and safe. They explained the safety procedures to us and gave us life jackets. We left our bags in the lockers. The views were amazing and our pilot was educated on the fun facts about New York. The buildings looked so beautiful from the helicopter view. I’ve never been on a helicopter before and I enjoyed the experience and definitely would do it again. They also take photos for you and you can buy them digitally for $35 which was a fun touch.

A Fantastic Experience!
You'd want to go again. Not just for the fantastic flight experience. But for the great service. Please also opt for the optional pick-up and drop from your hotel. Its absolutely worth it. The tour started with the pick-up from our hotel in Lower Manhattan. Our driver was an Italian, Domenico. Spoke perfect English and was really punctual! He drove a black Nissan Murano, an excellent vehicle. He was able to strike a nice conversation as well. The drive to Westchester Airport takes a good 1 hr 15 mins from Lower Manhattan. But the ride is scenic and absolutely worth it! Coming to the actual flight experience. Our captain was Lance (pardon me if I got this wrong!). Had a very accommodating and friendly demeanor. There was moderate rain but he was able to expertly guide the chopper so as to avoid the dark clouds and yet make our flight memorable. He forgot to take the Champagne Bottle on board! But we didn't mind! The supreme service made up for all that! On the return drop, Domenico, the driver, dropped up us to a real fine-dining Italian restaurant, Trattoria L'Incontro. As far as the booking experience is concerned, I would suggest that you call them up first and confirm the availability of the slot which you would want to travel and then do the booking online. Anna handles the booking and you would find her very helpful. This was one trip to remember.

This was by far the highlight of everything I did on my New York trip! From start to finish the team looked after me and even after the tour itself, thank you so much 💖 you forget how big New York city is until you see it from the sky.. Coney Island etc which I didn't have chance to see otherwise
