Something worth doing, especially with a date. Really gives you a perspective of NY from a bird's eye view.

Splendid. Only one comment to make is that we had our photograph taken, and it could have been a bit better focused, and there were no protective frames available as they had all been sold. Pity, because the photographs were subsequently bent while being carried home.

My fourth trip to NYC, and why hadn't I done this before? I'd love to do it at night too--maybe next time.

The views were amazing, although the pilot could have been a bit more exciting and thrilled. We had a delay as they shut the airspace due to the UN General Assembly, but we got taken back up again. It was awesome though, and definitely worth doing if you're in NY to see this beautiful city from atop.

If like me you go to New York with mates, you must see it from the air. The tour operator takes care to ensure your safety and to give you an experience you will not forget. A once in a lifetime opportunity that should not be missed.

Great trip, topped off the New York holiday. Very professional, felt very safe. The pilot could have pointed out more sights, so I recommend doing this after a few days there, once you have seen the sights on foot. Great views of the Statue of Liberty, great photo opportunities. Recommend the downtown helicopter pickup as it is very easy to get to compared to the midtown one.

Not being a brilliant flier, I was very apprehensive about this; however, the pilot was very gentle with us and I hardly felt a thing!! Watch out for the extra money you have to pay at check-in, something like 50 dollars not included in the booking price. They don't let you take any luggage, however small, apart from a camera, but then have the audacity to charge you a dollar for a locker, which I thought was a bit 'mean'! As with everywhere you go, they will take your photo when boarding the helicopter, which you can purchase for 20 bucks! Needless to say, however, the views and experience were well worth it.

Amazing and definitely worth the money! We loved it--my husband, me and our 21-month-old daughter!
