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!

Had our helicopter trip on our last day. What a fantastic end to a wonderful trip. The pilot was brilliant, gave a great commentary and the views are worth every penny.

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.

Brilliant! We went on the 30 minute trip & the views were unbelievable. We had to wait about 80 minutes before we got to go up but it was worth the wait.

This trip is worth every penny - there's no better way to see New York. Staff at the heliport were very helpful, and safety instructions were thorough. Photos taken before getting in the helicopter were ready on return and only 20. The pilot was very informative throughout the trip. My kids loved it!

Absolutely fantastic. We treated my son for his 18th birthday. Flight left on time. The staff were brilliant, the pilot was great. We flew for over 30 minutes and had a running commentary from the pilot the whole time. This was a fantastic way of seeing all the sights. Thanks you to all staff.

We really enjoyed the flight over New York and got our 30 minutes worth of flying time. Our pilot was exceptionally good with a great sense of humor and gave good information about areas as we flew over them. Well worth doing and I'd recommend it.

This was the best part of my 1 week trip to New York. I will do it again next time I visit. It was amazing. I couldn't recommend it more highly to anyone!

I've done all sorts of flying including hangliding and paragliding. This was one of the funnest flights I've ever had. The pilot and crew were great! I will definitely do this again.

After waiting almost an hour to take off due to there not being a headset available for my husband we were both beginning to lose patience. However, the second the helicopter began to ascend it was worth the wait! The views were spectacular and the pilot gave a brilliant, very funny commentary throughout the entire journey. There were only 3 of us in the helicopter so we all had an excellent view but I would agree with some of the other reviews on the site that say the views are limited if the helicopter is over filled, unless you book a private trip it's the chance you have to take. This was definitely the highlight of the trip for us and the best way to see NYC.
