Great experience, I would highly recommend this tour. The pilot was very professional and knowledgeable. As my son says "it was a life time experience."

I have lived in Manhattan since 1991 and I have never seen this city like this before! It was completely worth every. Single. Penny. My friend and I did the private Ultimate Tour and the amount of time in air was perfect. Take off and landing a dream and the entire staff were friendly and very pleasant. One thing I would give them as a piece of advice, you don't ask a woman out loud in the lobby in front of her friends and/ or partner what her weight is!! Luckily I wasn't embarrassed with my friend that went with me, but seriously?? who does that? Thanks though- GO BOOK YOUR TRIP TODAY!!

Thanks so much for recommending us on Tripadvisor! We love showing New Yorkers their own city and love hearing about it so thank you for sharing with us!! Unfortunately we have to ask everyones weights for safety reasons. I'll pass your feedback on to the team about being more discreet when they ask the big question!

I loved everything! They also waited for me when I ran 2 minutes late which I loved. It was just unfortunate that we weren't allowed to take our own pictures with the helicopter - my pictures wouldn't appear on their camera but they did give me an opportunity to go take another picture so I think it was an issue with their camera. Overall, had a good time and would highly recommend. I sat next to the pilot after requesting that for my birthday so thanks to the team for setting that up before hand!

I'm so happy to hear that you got to sit next to the pilot for your birthday! I'm glad to hear also that our team took you out for a second picture so you could have that keepsake to take home with you. It can get quite busy on the ramp so due to safety reasons we always take the pictures in front of the helicopter! Safety First! Thanks so much for recommending us!
