We had a short delay at the heliport but it was worth the wait. A excellent tour well worth the Money.
I got to ride up front with the pilot, being the lightest member of the 6 on board. Simply stunning. We booked the 18 mins rather than the 12-15 and so glad we did, it was the fastest 18 mins of my life. Was worth the extra few mins to go further up the Hudson. Took some lovely photos. My 15 year old son was amazed and enthralled. It is a very smooth flight, no dips and dives, so first time flyers shouldn't fear! You can all speak to each other through the headsets on board and the 'New York' music made it more special. You have your photograph taken in front of the helicopter before boarding but unfortunately the day we had our trip their computers weren't working properly and we didn't get to take a souvenir pic home with us, despite their taking our e-mail address and saying that we would be e-mailed the pictures as soon as the system was up and running. Have e-mailed them a few times since, enclosing a photo of us to help them trace our picture, but to no avail. Apart from that mishap .... superb! A must-do if you are only there for a short time.
What an amazing view and a great way to see New York. I wish the pilot gave more information on what we were seeing. We have been to New York many times and knew most of the areas. But if it had been our first time there I would have wanted more of a "tour". But I would definately recommend it!
