A memory that will last a lifetime. - Hands down one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I got to sit up the front with the pilot, which definitely made it even more magical. The take off and landing is so smooth you don’t even realise it’s happening, then you fly over manhattan with an audio tour of all the sites. Just incredible. A memory that will last a lifetime.

Fantastic views - Excellent tour, easy to find, fantastic views. Despite the windy weather it was excellent. The helicopter driver assured us that despite of the windy weather it was still safe to fly this helped put me at ease.

Get to the Chopper!! - Not only was this our first time in a helicopter, it was my son's first time NYC, so this was a great experience for him, and a great way to see the NYC skyline, as well as Liberty Island, Governors Island and Ellis Island, not to mention New Jersey too. The helicopter centre is well organised, safe and friendly. We arrived early but the flight left on time, with many helicopters rotating on and off the helipad. So waiting times are kept to a minimum. The flight itself is short, 20 mins, but that said, long enough to see all of the key sites of NYC from the air. I flew with my son in a 6 seat helicopter, the other 4 seats were taken by other guests. Pilot was friendly and professional, but concentrated on flying while an automated playback narrated the views, which was fine. Would I book again? Probably not now I have done it, but I would recommend to anyone who has not been to NYC, or in a helicopter? Absolutely!

Not terrible - I wish I could have heard what they were saying in the headphones. We had to remind them to take our pictures.

I'm disappointed - Six people are transported in the helicopter at a time. There were three of us as a family. We were assigned three other people. I was squeezed into the middle of the back seat and sat very close to strangers who were very overweight. A young lady was allowed to sit in the front next to the pilot. She had an excellent view. But we all paid the same fare. I don't think that's fair. I couldn't take any photos either because I wasn't sitting next to the window. The headset was broken and I only had a very weak speaker. So I didn't understand any of the information because the headset was already at maximum volume but was still very quiet. What a pity. I'm very disappointed.

Postpone tour - They postponed my tour. I guess it was due to bad weather but it wasn’t raining or anything. I’ll update this once I actually do the tour.
