Exciting, but the delay was boring.

Our helicopter trip was great. The waiting time was too long: almost one and a half hours, but the staff was friendly and our pilot was very entertaining. This is a great way to get a first view of New York!

This was a well organized excursion.

This was an excellent trip, and a great opportunity to see the Manhattan landscape with a real perspective of size. The trip only flies about the water, though, so don't expect any crosstown movements of flying between the buildings.

I bought A Taste of New York Helicopter flight for my boyfriend's 40th birthday present. He absolutely loved it! It was his first time in a helicopter and now he is hooked. The pilot was really friendly. Thank you for making his experience so brilliant.

The trip was great and would recommend doing. Our pilot was lovely and we really enjoyed the experience and would do it again. Maybe an even longer trip the next time.

Having to pay for parking, paying fee at booth, running to the heliport and knowing they were running late, waiting for almost an hour for a 10 minute flight was discouraging, but finally flying over NY - PRICELESS!!! Everything was great except for the lack of seating and the long wait before our flight, but this is something that should be done at least once in your lifetime.

Great views, good experience and certainly worth while. Book early in the day and in advance of the flight and there's no waiting. Although don't expect much commentary from the pilot, do your homework before.

I have to say that it was a great experience! Unfortunately for us the weather was really bad, rain and winds but somehow the helicopter took off! I will have to do it again, hopefully without the rain.

A great experience, my only complaint was the waiting time - it took almost an hour before we were in the air.

This was a big birthday treat and a very unusual and enjoyable way to make the day memorable. All the crew and ground staff were very helpful and friendly, and the whole experience was very worthwhile. The only trouble is it doesn't last long enough - I would have liked to go for MUCH longer!

On arriving for the helicopter trip, we were informed that we had to pay another 120 dollars for a family of four due to some taxes. I think that the trip was therefor over priced. We were up in the air for just under six minutes.

The helicopter flight was great and the views were fantastic. However, despite booking well in advance and being given a specific time slot, we had to wait for almost 2 hours. As a result, for a 10 minute ride we had to used half a day of our trip! I think this could have been organised so much better and feel that this left me disappointed with the experience on the whole.
