Mario_W

Cool Pilot with Lots of Infos about New York, beautiful weather and nearly No waiting time, great experience, was worth it!

Jenn_W

The Helecopter ride was amazing! I would recommend this to see all of NYC, the staff on the ground were really friendly and explained what to do etc Once in the air the pilot gave a commentary on what land marks you were seeing amd passing over. Really enjoyed with all the family.

Brad_W

The trip was great and so is the company that flies around New York. I felt safe and they were very friendly. What wasn't good was the fact that after paying almost $500 for 2 people through Viator we had to pay another $80 fee when we got there. Nothing from your company mentioned that. Since I didn't want to lose my $500, I paid the additional amount. But I'd like to sue you to get my money back for your bait and switch tactics. You'll hear from me soon. Won't use Viator again

Marko_B

It was Incredible exiting and one of the best experience we could have during our stay. I highly recommend to do this especially when you just have some days, you can save time in going up to each skyscraper. The team at the airport is amazing , the customer support from Viator was also very nice and helpful. Very nice experience.

4.5 out of 5, with the only very slight downside being how tightly squeezed in we were. Our group included 4 men all 6’3” or over which made it a little uncomfortable space wise but everything else was perfect.
