An Adventure - Wonderful experience! From the pick up, check in, pilot, take off & landing. Being a pilot with a commercial airline I have to say the helicopter ride and company was on point.. I would definitely refer this company to another.

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.

You get what you pay for - Beautiful experience. But I was offered an upgrade for 35 dollars. I paid for the upgrade to sit with the pilot and did not receive said upgrade.

Would have been 5 stars but the end killed it. - The trip was good and it was pretty straight forward of a process, however the end was an issue. To start off it’s my wife’s birthday and I booked the trip , I paid my gas and heliport fee in cash , and upon getting off the helicopter we immediately had an employee come up and say “you did not pay the heliport fee” to my wife. I tell her I did and explained it was in cash and even pointed out the guy who I gave the $ to who confirmed it. Then immediately after another employee comes up and goes “are you Alexandra” to again ask about the money but we just walked into the van. Then once in the van they again ask in Spanish (which my wife and I are fluent in) over their intercom if we had paid and if they got the money… all I can say is that was unprofessional. Had they asked me “did you give the $ for the heliport fee” opposed to just coming up and telling my wife “you guys didn’t pay it” I wouldn’t be as annoyed with the situation. The pilot was cool and it was a fun experience, so other than the end it was a great experience.

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

They ruined our last day in NYC. - The WORST experience ever! Not professional and rude staff. A real SCAM. Dont ever book with this company, better book 100$ more but you get what you paid for. They ruined our last day in NYC. I cannot believe we didnt read the reviews before booking this tour.
