What can I say except what an amazing experience, totally breathtaking something I will never forget.
i was really looking forward to this tour. unfortunately i was really disappointed. the tour was more commercialized and there was nothing friendly about it. from the minute we walked into the place they started taking money from us starting with the tax of $30 each which was not mentioned at the time of booking and $2 for the locker to keep my purse in. then they said it was not allowed to take pictures beside the helicopter and that they would take pictures and then charged us another $20 for it. there were four of us on the flight and although i had paid for me and my son the same as the other couple, i was situated in the middle of the seat where i had very limited view. the tour was supposed to be 30 minutes but lasted 20 minutes. we were kept at a distance from scenic view which i had already seen walking on Brooklyn Bridge for free. for the price it is not recommended at all.
The guys at Zip Aviation were great, the Grand Island tour a blast. Can only recommend this experience!
