This was a nice tour. The pilot explained all the sights through headphones, and the day was perfect for our flight. We departed on time, flying around Manhattan for near 30 minutes, and our landing was really soft. In a few words we had a good flight, a good pilot and wonderful views.

First time to NY and first time in a helicopter. It was brilliant - one of the greatest things I've ever done. It is a must if you're in NY.

Well worth doing, it was the best thing we did while we were in New York. The helicopter pilot gave us loads of info about everything he flew over. Great chance to see bits we would never have got to over the weekend.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The flight was great, the pilot was very knowledgeable and his running commentary was really interesting. I would have another flight with them.

It was so much fun and we were well looked after, I'm not a good flier but our pilot was great and I felt comfortable and in safe hands. He was also very knowledgeable of his route. Would recommend this trip to anyone.

The weather was perfect. Freezing cold, clear blue sky and virtually no wind. I arrived early and was taken early. I was in the air before I knew it with no time to be nervous. Everyone 5 of us got a window seat. The commentary was very good and sufficient without being intrusive. The views were stunning with plenty of time to take photographs. We went further than I expected. Round the Statue of Liberty then as far north as the old and new Yankee Stadiums in the Bronx. It was without a doubt the best present and the high spot of my 60th birthday celebration.

Very recommendable, this was an amazing experience one for the books. Getting so close to all the amazing sites while in a helicopter just topped the holiday off and you get to appreciate the full city, this scale of the place is breathtaking. I have already recommended to everyone I spoke about the holiday to.

A fantastic way to see the whole of Manhattan if you are short on time and energy! The staff are friendly and the trip itself was an amazing experience and one which I hope to do again!

Flight was booked for 3.00pm and was delayed for 90 minutes with no explanation. There were 4 in the helicopter and both my wife and I were on the wrong side for pictures - the couples should have been split.
