If you are going to do any helicopter ride then do this one. Very professional and friendly staff. Booked you in very quickly Safety brief and lockers available to put your belongings in. We didn’t have to wait long til we were boarded and away. We had full circuit of the Statue of Liberty Ellis island then up the Hudson taking in the skyscrapers along the way. Pilot gave us a full commentary and then turned round so the other passengers had a view. We were fortune to get a window seat but depending on weight one of you might sit in the middle. You’ll still get a great view but better by the window We had a good 15+minutes in the air so felt we had our moneys worth. You won’t be disappointed We were smiling from ear to ear Thank you for a great experience
