Great experience, highly recommended, seeing New York from the air so close up is something else, my first experience in a helicopter felt very safe and in good hands.

The most amazing experience, staff was very nice and friendly. Everything explained and felt at ease. Would defiantly book with these guys again. We previously booked on the Monday for a 18.30 slot but as it was president day they had emailed to say they will stop flying around 16.30 I was able to move to the next day and same time with no hassle at all. Everything was run so smoothly. Although I sat in the middle I still had a great view of everything and got some amazing photos and videos. Overall 10/10 was brilliant. Was very easy to find also.
