Excellent experience run by friendly and professional staff. Pilot was great and views were incredible! Well worth doing.

I booked an Ultimate Helicopter flight with HELINY and was very disappointed. I booked this as a gift for my husband as it was our 20th Wedding Anniversary. I unfortunately was sat in the middle on the back row and had extremely limited view, my headphones were also not working so was unable to hear any commentary. Admittedly when I mentioned afterwards how disappointed I was they offered to fly me again (but not with my husband so was pointless really). Such a lot of money for a really poor experience!

This was the highlight of my trip to NYC. It was so amazing to look down upon lower Manhattan and see the fountains where the North and South Tower of the World Trade Centers once stood. The view of Central Park is breathtaking - I didn't realize how huge Central Park was until I saw it from the air. This is WELL WORTH the money. Our pilot was amazing and very knowledgeable.
