Nothing beats NYC from the air but I was disappointed with this tour. It was sold as 20-25 minutes and from touch off to land clocked in at 21 with 5 of those minutes being travel time from across the water in New Jersey and maneuvering so closer to 15 minutes.
We flew up and back the Hudson with a quick circle around the Statue of Liberty. We didn't fly over the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges as promised despite me asking the pilot and we didn't fly over Central Park or any part of the city (I saw others doing it but maybe they have different clearance?), just flew up and down the river.
Office staff was unorganized and unmasked. Our pilot was new to the company and new(ish) to NYC so maybe we got an off day. Overall, it was a stunning experience but I felt we didn't get what was promised and considering the price, I think 3 stars is generous.
