The Heli flight was very amazing, but it is not really a "Sky Tour". The 12 minute trip is very short and the route was just from Heliport to WTC along the hudson and the same way back. Crossing Manhattan and flying back over the East River would be much better. The pilot did not go close to the Statue of Liberty, just a short flyby. The photos being made at the beginning of the trip should cost approximately 25$ each. That's far too expensive, but was a service from the Heliport operators. Summarized, it was a nice trip and we had a friendly pilot, but do not expect much from a 12 minute help flight...
The trip was beyond amazing! The ground crew dealt with us professionally all the way till our exit. Our pilot/tour-guide made us feel at home in the chopper and above the Big Apple. Simply put, a recommended must for anyone that visits New York. Big up and thanks again guys!!!
Took the tour with my wife on our 10th Anniversary.
Pros: Staff was courteous. No wait what so ever. They said the ride was 15 min though it felt longer. Pilot was the nicest guy you can meet.
Cons: They put 6 passangers in a very small helicopter. My wife and I were crammed into the back seat with another couple. It was really tight and really uncomfortable. The couple that sat in the front seat came after us. And therefore should not have been allowed to go first. Wish if we had sat in the front seat. That is the only reason why I am not giving it 5 star.
