Our trip was a perfect Capstone to our visit to NYC. We had toured all of lower Manhattan by foot that morning and mid town the evening before. I’d tell anyone to ensure the helicopter is the last part of their trip to see all again before you finish in the Big Apple. I’d advise anyone who’s going to book double check the weather as our flight for delayed by 4 hours due to visibility.

This was the highlight of my trip to New York with my friend. Although we had booked for 9.30am, the visibility was not good for the helicopter to fly so we were told to come back at 2.00pm which we did, the mist had cleared and we were able to fly. The experience was amazing, something I will never forget and so worth the cost of the flight and the heliport fee. The staff were polite and courteous and we didn't have to wait too long to fly. Thank you for the experience
