This was by far the highlight of everything I did on my New York trip! From start to finish the team looked after me and even after the tour itself, thank you so much 💖 you forget how big New York city is until you see it from the sky.. Coney Island etc which I didn't have chance to see otherwise

We booked the 30 minute tour, however we had bad weather and therefore were told we needed to book another day. Luckily we were in Manhattan long enough for another try at the Lanape skies…. On the 10th of August 2024 the sun shone brightly, however there were so many flights required to make up back log of bad weather days, we had only 15 minutes in the air. It was fantastic and we were so grateful to get up there we were cool. Luckily our refund came straight back to us. Very well done to Charm Aviation and Viator! If you can this is a must and the whole experience of flying in a helicopter is something else altogether…
