Nice but short - Very well organized. Flight time probably not quite the specified time...it is however so nice there you forget the time. Unfortunately, 40$ tax per person is still due. Should be integrated in the price.

Highlight of our trip - Amazing experience, felt much longer than 15 minutes. It really was the highlight of our trip. Viator were also brilliant at rescheduling when we found out that our flight was cancelled.

Beautiful... - Beautiful helicopter,friendly staff, not a long wait period, snd gorgeous view of Manhatten major attractions. My only complaint is the tour lasted 8 minutes when was supposed to be 15 minutes. You pay alot of money for this so I was disappointed on how short this was but overall was a beautiful experience.

waste of time waiting 45 min. ride very short - had to show up 45 minutes early then just sit and wait. What a waste of our time. Helicopter time was 15 minutes not much time for the money. Ride was excellent and enjoyable.

False Advertising, Shortened Flight, and No Customer Options – Extremely Disappointing - I booked a helicopter tour with this company on 23/09/25 for 4 people ($1,082.04). The website promised a 12–15 minute flight covering 10 Manhattan landmarks. Instead, the flight lasted only 8 minutes, and we missed 6 of the advertised sites. What’s worse, there was no disclosure at booking or check-in about UN-related airspace restrictions that had been in place for days. Clearly, the company knew about these limits but failed to update their website or notify customers. At no point were we offered the option to cancel, reschedule, or receive a reduced price. This is blatant false advertising. The service sold was knowingly impossible to deliver, yet international customers like us were still charged over $1,000 for a flight that was both shorter and far less than promised. The lack of transparency and customer options is unacceptable and exploitative. I strongly urge anyone considering this company to be cautious. They misrepresented their services, failed to disclose crucial restrictions, and provided no fair compensation.
