We had a great trip. It would be even better if there were only 2 of people on board!

Very good. Worth doing but I would get a taxi down to the heliport and back, not a very nice place to walk! Trip was well worth it, definitely go for the 20 minute flight even that went too quick.

This was a great trip, well worth the money. The wait in the very basic reception area was pretty bad, though.

The flight itself was fantastic and the pilot very professional, however the ground staff was less than accommodating. Having arrived the required half hour before our flight, we were made to stand for another forty five minutes with no seating or refreshments available while they tried to find an available helicopter. We were booked on the dinner cruise later that evening and were annoyed at their lack of concern over the time factor. There was a huge queue behind us too!

The pilot could have seemed a little more interested in what he was saying about the various sites. Perhaps because he does this most days it is difficult to be enthusiastic.

Fab ride, well worth the money and you get to see so much. However, we had to wait around for 45 minutes when our flight was meant to be at 2pm so this was not good as wasted our whole afternoon.

The flight was great, although we booked an 11:30am flight that didn't get into the air until 1pm. This put us behind with our other plans but c'est la vie.

It was cool. Some of the staff seemed very bored by it all, no smiles or hellos.

Loved it. A truly memorable experience.

The flight was neat, though I wish we could have gone over the city, rather than beside.

I booked the trip as it stated that we would be flying over the city itself, getting close enough to the Statue of Liberty to take photos and Central Park for 25-30 minutes. All we did was fly up and down the Hudson River; we didn't get close to the Statue of Liberty at all. Very disappointed.

It was great to do it for the experience. However we had the worst seats in the helicopter, unfortunately.

We took the 15 minute tour, which is basically a run up the Hudson to the northern end of Manhattan and back. If you are on the 'wrong side' of the helicopter there is not much to see in New Jersey, and photography is difficult through the not very clean windows. Of course any helicopter trip is enjoyable, and everything was run efficiently - though not friendly - but I think the shorter trips round the Statue of Liberty represent better value.

This was a really good tour once the people operating it turned up for work!

At the helicopter check-in point, make sure the pilot is going to take you on the trip you have booked and not just any old flight over New York! We missed out on some sights, and the tour operator would not provide a partial refund for the altered tour. The company did not advise us of the amended route prior to the flight.
