Although this trip was expensive we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was well organised, safe and exciting. The staff were friendly and the pilot gave us a running commentary of what could be seen below. It was quite a windy day and the feeling inside the helicopter was thrilling. The views across Manhattan are breath-taking and we would recommend this way to see the city to anyone. We opted for the 20 minute flight and this seemed like plenty of time to get good photos and enjoy the ride too.

The staff were rude and not very personable. Also trying to charge 20 for a picture outside the helicopter they would not elt you take your own having paid 500 for the trip was ridiculous and put a downer on the whole experience. The helicopter ride was magnificent though!
