My sister and I had a great time on the tour, it ran about 15 min. which is what we had signed up for, the views were great and they make sure to pass by everything twice so each side could get to see the same views! Do make sure you get there just a little early. You will have a little safety instruction, so just be ready!
I would totally recommend this tour we had a great time!!!

Best Heli Ride in NYC!
Elante_T

Definitely worth every penny. The view from the sky is phenomenal. I enjoyed that Tim our pilot was very knowledgeable and educated us on what we were flying past. The weather was perfect and my girlfriend loved it. She’s never been on a helicopter before so I’m happy that we had a pleasant experience seeing New York from the air.
Would definitely do again and I would definitely recommend to friends and family if you’re in the area! And the picture they took of us came out great!
Not worth it

Boring!!! Pilot didn’t say 5 words the entire trip. Didn’t point out anything!!
The safety measures state lightest person will be up front which would have been my daughter. Nope!!! They put some huge tall man in that seat. Not worth the money at all!!!
Response from Host , Mar 2022
Thank you for your feedback.
Pilot do their best to highlight the sights during the flight, but their main focus will always be safety and communicating with the Air Traffic Control tower.
We determine seating based on everyone's weight as we have to safely balance the aircraft. There are many variables that go into weight and balance and we use software to aid us in this. If passengers have a seating preference, we ask that they let us know in advance, and our staff will do their best to accommodate their request.
