The helicopter tour was an early Christmas present for my daughter and grandson (age 12). What a fun, exciting adventure for him. First time in NY and first time in a helicopter. The tour staff was gracious and accommodating. Check in and safety videos and prep went like clock work. The tour was amazing. It was a beautiful, clear, cold day with great views of the Statue of Liberty, Freedom Tower and other landmarks in the city. Not an inexpensive tour but well worth every penny for a once in a lifetime experience.
