I don't recommend it, it's not the time they say. And nomas make you dizzy with the turn they take. It is better to look for another agency.....

beautiful experience! with my daughter and my partner we wanted to make this gift, and it was worth it. The view is similar to the one you get from skyscraper watchers but you're on the move! you pass by the skyscrapers, you fly over the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, you get to Harlem. It lasts only a quarter of an hour or so but it really deserves! not cheap (about $250 each) but once it has to be done.

After waiting for an hour and a half we were told that you could not take off for the wind. And we had already postponed it for a day because of the low visibility. A disappointment.

We apologize for any inconvenience, unfortunately we do not control the weather. We had hoped the winds died down but it did not, the safety of our customers and pilot is our main priority.
