nice view smooth ride - Didn't like checking 45 minutes early, then just sitting around watching the clock move waiting for our scheduled take off time.

Very nice experience but for my "fear" I will not do it again in the future in other places - All very nice in perfect American style. It starts from south Manhattan, the helipad is practically on the water. After providing the reservation details they weigh you down (for obvious reasons) and then you enter the waiting room, where there are lockers to put your belongings. A short information course and then you go up by helicopter. The helicopter is from the 80s I think, a little old, but well maintained. The tour lasts 15 minutes and takes you to the Bronx over the Hudson River. The only fear is of course that the helicopter will go down, but honestly I think it's impossible. I only had this experience because I was in NYC but I wouldn't do it anywhere else in the world.

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.
