    Very well organized. Courteous staff. Just don’t accept the 2 bogus locker charge that they force down on you when you arrive.

    The views were great. The ground crew was great also, very friendly and helpful. The pilot gave a great commentary as we flew.

    Basically, the service provider is very flexible and can bring a flight on request, but tripadviser states that there are no additional fees, this is slightly different. There are local fees, I can provide you with the receipt. It was a very good activity without any other criticism

    Booked this to get a better view of New York and even though it was at night it was spectacular!

    Staff were extremely friendly and explained everything well.

    Helicopters were clean, very nice and modern and made you feel safe. They also offered large windows so you had a great view from any side!

    Only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 is the delay of the “complimentary shuttle”. Had to take the train from the city to New Jersey. When we first arrived there was 4 other couples and the shuttle driver was already there however she left due to not having enough room, said she’d be back in “10 minutes” but we were left waiting in a parking lot to get picked up for over 25 minutes (just a little sketchy, especially at night). After contacting the company, they remedied the situation and had someone to us within 10 minutes.

    From start to finish what a great experience, our plans changed and we needed to move our reservation from a Monday to the Friday this was done with no fuss, and at a time slot we wanted. On arrival we were greeted by a very professional and friendly ground staff, from the get go we felt like we were in very safe hands. Once on board the helicopter, put on the headsets to a very friendly pilot and we instantly knew we were in safe hands, the flight was circa 26 minutes and covered everything you would want to see in NYC which an excellent commentary and history lesson. Both landing and take off were very smooth and has restored my confidence in flying again. Don’t pick the cheapest online, pick the best a modern fleet of really comfortable (I am 6’4” and a big guy) but had no trouble getting in and out of the helicopter.

    Forgot to leave a review at the time so here it is now. If I had to suggest just one must-do thing when visiting Manhattan this would be it. We were lucky to have a cloudless blue sky day for our 20 minute tour as well. The 20 minute option isn't cheap, but its certainly worth it - after all its not likely something that most of us would do again.

    Staff were unfriendly and it felt very hostile.
    I’ve done helicopter rides before and this one was the longest time in the sky and pilot was lovely but on the ground staff unwelcoming and no chance to have a photo taken (special one )for the celebration it was my daughters 18th and she was nervous and they separated her from us and sat her up front with pull

    Cost much more than advertised as you have the trip by taxi all the way out to New Jersey and return at least another 100 dollars for me . Safety Video was waste of time too as people in and put all the time and staff calling you to weigh you

    Anthony was a wonderful pilot and tour guide that gave my husband and I the experience of a lifetime. He was knowledgeable, affable and extremely professional. Don’t return home from New York without experiencing this tour, because no one wants to go home and say I wish I did that. The previous day we did a 7 hour bus, walk and ferry tour of New York. However, we were shown a whole new perspective from the sky. Traveling to Westchester airport allowed us to see some of the outer suburban area. We saw country clubs, dams, stadiums and so much more that we hadn’t seen. Seeing the Statue of Liberty up so close was an amazing experience. Loved it.

    My son did it today. He was happy, he was very early so little bit of wait. Staff was courteous.
    Best price for the service offered.
