A great NYC experience! - The staff was hospitable and the pilot was very inviting, friendly and safe. Safety was a priority for everyone. Each person welcomed us with a smile and comfort. We felt secure with our pilot at the controls and he was very knowledgeable about the various landmarks. A great NYC experience!

Poor - The staff was very very rude. They were talking rudely and had very pathetic hospitality. The views were good but the staff interaction spoilt the entire experience. Do not recommend this.

Very poor customer service - The customer service was appalling and the receptionist was very rude. The address given on the confirmation email took us to the Hudson River side of Manhattan- I rang the company to explain what had happened and we would be with them asap - we were 5 mins late (we were required to be there 45 mins before our flight time of 2 pm, so arrived at 1.20 pm) we were charged $200 penalty!! Whilst I appreciate the policy is clear, when we tried to explain that the address given took us to the wrong location, she said that wasn’t her fault and that the pilot had been waiting for us, which was clearly a lie as the helicopter was in the air - our flight time was 2 pm and we actually took off at 1.45 pm - I would NOT recommend this company. There are other companies offering flights with our friends booking with another operator and was only required to be there 15 mins beforehand. So whilst I would recommend the flight - do NOT use this company!
