The tour was running 15 minutes late and I think they were trying to make up time . We took off at 11.45 and back on the ground by 12.01. It was supposed to fly over the Brooklyn bridge but that didn’t happen . A flight around liberty . Up and down the Hudson then back down . It was ok but disappointed we didn’t get the 20 minutes

Fantastic! They were very professional. No B.S. Just a straiught-up great tour. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Highly recommended.

A great birthday treat. The Plight, Olivia, was very welcoming informative. The only downside was, there were 4 in our group and 2 others on the helicopter. I was sat in the middle, I am short, and it was not very comfortable. Which not good for the money. It would have been a better experience with 4 in the helicopter not 6. It was enjoyable.
