A Must Do - The staff was friendly and so nice. The safety procedures were perfect and the pilot was outstanding. We actually saw way more than I thought we would. It was worth the money.

10/10 would do again - A bit pricey but absolutely fantastic! I’m mom of the year with my teenage son! This beats going up on the edge or Empire State Building by far! Best way to see high views of NYC. Well worth the money:)

Exciting experience - beautiful experience! with my daughter and my partner we wanted to make this gift, and it was worth it. The view is similar to the one you get from skyscraper watchers but you're on the move! you pass by the skyscrapers, you fly over the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, you get to Harlem. It lasts only a quarter of an hour or so but it really deserves! not cheap (about $250 each) but once it has to be done.

No comment - After waiting for an hour and a half we were told that you could not take off for the wind. And we had already postponed it for a day because of the low visibility. A disappointment.

Horrible front desk staff - Flight was good but you had a young lady at the counter that was a rude and dictator. She refused to give me to opportunity to ask a question. She felt the need to raised her voice at me while telling me that I was late, and still have the nerve to want to dispute late fee. She also threatening to forfeit the flight unless I obey her disrespect. She never gave me the opportunity to ask a question. She claimed that I was rude and disrespect because I attempted to ask a question or wanting to show her the paper I had in my hand. She is rude and nasty and worst the other two staff that was standing next to her were too afraid to want to get involved. This was a gift but she sucked the joy out the experience. She was acting as a dictator and rude about telling me that I was late and that I should not have any say so - just to pay, ask no question and obey her.

Try a different company - The experience was ruined by a New York Helicopter worker named Charles. He tried to sell us his tour first and when he told us we had a Groupon coupon he got upset and treated us very aggressively. Then he wouldn't let us into the facility so he could fly. It was all very uncomfortable and we felt bad at all times. There are more companies in that place with kinder workers.

Disappointing - Arrived 45 minutes before as required, checked and seated to wait for 40 minutes after the 5 minute security check and check in, went to board the helicopter, and were turned away as the pilot decided too windy to fly, we were advised to wait 30-60 minutes as he may be able to fly again. There are 3 other companies running helicopter rides from the same heli pad and none of their flights were cancelled and kept running consistently whilst we sat waiting like lemons. After the hour waiting it was all cancelled for the day, so 1 hour 45 minutes wasted sitting around. They just issued a refund as said couldn’t get us on again for a couple days. Luckily one of the other companies was super helpful and got us on one of their last flights for the day so thankfully we never missed out after spending the whole afternoon there. Would like to say their ground staff was lovely though, could see they were frustrated with the situation also.
