A must do in NYC! - Could not recommend this more! I’ve been to NYC dozens of times, but this perspective on a clear day is unparalleled. The tour company was super professional and it felt very safe.

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.

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.
