We Love it - Hey,Im Antonio.. Our flight on August 10, 2024 at 4:00 PM was very enjoyable. Smiling people. They called at least 3 times on the day of the meeting to confirm, which is correct and a good move. Everything was great. They give you the opportunity to take pictures, they are thoughtful. As an Albanian, NYC was very nice.

NYC Helicopter Tour 😁 - Overall this experience was nothing short of amazing, well worth the money it’s definitely something you should do if your visiting New York. A few things I would mention is that if you are a tourist visiting nyc and considering booking this helicopter tour be aware the location were you are picked up is very far outside of nyc, it’s in the state of New Jersey and can be quite difficult to get to. We had to get a train over to Hoboken then a taxi. Make sure you bring the CARD you payed with as they need that as well as your ID. On arrival you have to call a number to be picked up, it wouldn’t work on my English mobile so I panicked but I emailed the company and gratefully the staff called me straight away to help. The staff at the helicopter place were very friendly and accommodating and since it was my birthday gave me the seat next to the pilot which I really appreciated. I would definitely advise doing the longer tour as the flight time includes taking off, getting to NYC and landing. When you are in the air it’s simply stunning and a unforgettable experience. Thanks

Attention for approaching - The way to the Meeting point Was horrible. We nieder 1,5 hours from Manhatten and we didnt had long waiting times. Then it was a wrong adress and we had to take a taxi for 40 Dollars. Then we were to late and they told us to pay 400 Dollars fine. The time in the Helikopter was amazing and exciting.

neither of us had the chance to sit on the copilot seat - we were five, there is 6 seats available one of them the copilot seat so i was pretty excited cause well one of us was going to have the chance to have the best view but they put one more of their staff members as copilot and said that if we wanted to have that seat we'd pay as we were 6 that's was not fair at all

Choose better provider - It is scam. To reach the place you need at least 1-1.5 hours from Manhattan . There are a lot of surcharges , which you find out after you purchased the ticket. People are very rude. It is clear that they hate every person who came. The pilot haven’t said even a word to us. Please choose different company for this experience .

Nice trip, but not satisfied - Unfortunately there 2 the same addresses … we were at the wrong… waiting before 4pm, than we realised about that, take the Lyft taxi, and we’re 15 minutes late… charged extra 200$…. No fair… because there was not our mistake or our late attitude … google maps has shown us bad// other place with the same address ….:-(…
