A very interesting flight. Comfortable seats and informative stories about the sights. We got a seat next to the pilot, so visibility was excellent

Truly beautiful and evocative ride. It lasted a full 30 minutes in which the pilot explained and entertained the passengers. We were fully satisfied by the check-in guys who were super kind and helpful in accommodating our request to bring forward the flight. Evocative experience with breathtaking views, even the short tour was enough to see the main spots of the city. I don't give 5 stars only because it doesn't pass over the city as the photos show so you can only see Central Park in the distance and it's not the same to fly just over the water. Advise

Thank you for visiting us at HeliNY! We appreciate your kind words for our pilot, ground crew, and overall service. The City of New York has strict regulations on the Helicopter Tourism Industry that does not allow us to fly over any part of New York City. All of our tours fly above the Hudson River and New York Harbor. We never want to mislead our passengers and have this posted on our website for passenger viewing. We are glad the flight was still a beautiful experience and are grateful you could join us!
