Got a great deal on groupon so check there before booking. Very well organised, no big queues, friendly but not over the top staff. All the helicopter tour companies use the same routes so all you have to do is compare prices and when I travelled this was by far the winner. You'll feel like you're in a movie, watching... More

From the time we first enquired about the flight until we actually flew was around 30 minutes. They are very well organised with friendly and helpful crew. The pilot was informative and had a sense of humour which is always appreciated. Certainly a significant highlight of our trip to New York. Thanks Santiago ... Ian Crowhurst & Barbara Robson

I work in NYC (live in NJ) and took my kids (11yr old boy, 9yr old girl) to work to see what it's like. Decided to add some fun to the day by taking helicopter ride/tour. Best decision I ever made. We all loved it and it is an experience they will never forget. First class all the way. Santiago... More

On our second day in New York after walking down Wall Street we passed the Zip Heliport and on the spur of he moment decided to take a trip on the helicopter. We were in New York to celebrate our son's 18th birthday, so what better excuse! The staff were extremely friendly and within a few minutes we were boarding... More

Brilliant, totally loved it. Easy location to find and very friendly, helpful staff. My son loved the whole thing, from the build-up, the flight and the obligatory photo to follow. Its a shame that photos cant be taken on the ground as you board, as I think everyone would want the official photo anyway. The information given to us by... More

Thank you for taking the time to review us Nik! We are thrilled you enjoyed your experience with us and will share your compliments with our team. We wish you could take photos on the ground too, but Downtown Manhattan Heliport policy prevents us from allowing our passengers to do so on the landing ramp for safety reasons. However, we... More

We stopped by the main offices near the CitySightsNY south seaport stop after our cruise around the Statue of Liberty to enquire about booking a flight and prices. We were fortunate enough that we could get on a flight in half an hour. We paid... More

Amazing views, very friendly staff, couldn't, ask for more. We had to change booking due to bad weather, the staff were great couldn't be more helpful. We paid prior to leaving UK via viator.com and we were kept informed via email and phone. Great experience, well worth the money
