When visiting New York for the fourth time my girlfriend hade a little surprice for me, she told me that we would go on a helicopter ride over the city. This was actually a lot better than I expected at first since we not only got to see a fantastic view over the city but also got a great history... More

It was our first time in New York and there is no better way to see her than in a Helicopter. They were on time and very organized. We got a ride from one end of the rock to the other. It was so neat to see from above some of the attraction/site we weren't able to make that trip... More

We chose the company because they have recently purchased a new fleet of Bell helicopters and we were pleased to say we got one of the new ones! They have convex windows which allow a better field of view as they curve outward from the aircraft, as opposed to being flat. Our helicopter was spacious and we were lucky to... More

Booked a tour and Hurricane Sandy made us reschedule. When we arrived on our new day for our tour at 130pm we were told we cannot go because the airspace is closed. We were told we were emailed but we never got an email from them. I immediately called their office and spoke to a Greg who said not a... More

I got this ride for me and my friend for my 21st birthday. We had the 15min ride and it was great, we got to see all of Manhattan, and pieces of Brooklyn and Jersey. As an international student I recommend other students and visitors to take a ride while you are in this city. You will not regret it.

We arrived on time, had paid for the approx 20 min tour, waited 10 mins to be told that as the people before us were late and they had paid for the 30 min tour, they were putting us together and we would get the benefit of the 30 min tour. GREAT. Fab pilot, very informative with facts.

My partner and I booked a ride to celebrate his 40th birthday. We had the 25min ride to Yankee Stadium and the views of Manhatten, Liberty Island and the Hudson River are unbeatable. If you can afford it I would definitely recommend booking a flight.

I am still smiling about our helicopter flight in NY, and it was almost a week ago. We did a 20min flight arount Manhatten, around Central Park, down the Hudson river and back to the heliport down near Wall Street. The views were unbelievable from 1200 feet and the pilot was very good at pointing out the buildings and landmarks... More
