Bought tickets from a street rep for Liberty who told us we could get a booking straight away for the 15 min tour, we were on a tight schedule so were assured when he 'called' the office to confirm. Paid him our money, cheeky chap asked for a tip as claimed he only got small commission of a couple of... More

You should book early to avoid any possible queues latter in the day. You will have to have your bags checked. They will give you a free ticket for a locker and you'll receive a short flight brief by video. It is a short 12-15 minute flight. My wife and I sat up font with the pilot and thoroughly enjoyed...

The actual helicopter ride was longer than what I anticipated. The 12-15 minutes ride didn't fly by as quick as expected which was very good. I sat at the front and the pilot was describing what everything was but he wasnt very clear yet was polite. Finding this police was a bit difficult but there are maps from near ground... More

Hadn't booked it beforehand, but as it was such a gorgeous day - and definitely influenced by the broaad grins of everyone coming out of the Liberty Building, decided 'what the heck, let's do it!'. And boy, was that ever a good decision! It's a spectacular, and incomparable, way of seeing New York. Our two teenage girls got to sit... More

We chose the 15minute tour and was defiantly worth the money!! Excellent friendly staff and very organised. During our flight our pilot was very informative, telling us facts that you couldn't find in a new York tour guide. My husband wasn't that keen about the tour when I first booked it thinking it was a lot of money but after... More

Booked a 15 min flight (which goes all too quickly), friendly and welcoming staff and was nice to see that safety is paramount. Excellent views of the city, we were lucky is was also a very clear and bright day. My one disappointment was being crammed into the helicopter, there are two passengers plus pilot in front and 4 in... More
