Amazing experience over Manhattan
Jesus_C

Tour was as advertised, from heliport in southern tip of Manhattan to Liberty Island then up Hudson River and turning around after crossing the GWB. Day was perfect weather wise, which is important. Pilot was informative but not engaged beyond that. The checking in was brief, the whole process went like a breeze. Amazing experience, something one ought to do at least once in a lifetime. Worth every penny.
Wow

Thank Viator for the most wonderful and breathtaking experience in my husband’s life. It was his dream to fly in a helicopter. I trusted you in it and it was right decision. The gleam in his eyes was remembered for a lifetime. Incredibly impressed and full of cool emotions, happy and surprised!
And yes, thank you for my request to have a sit near the pilot.🤩🤩
I really recommend Viator all who want to spend amazing time🗽🚁

Please everyone book the cheapest trip because every flight is the same in duration. Dont book any upgrade it’s not worth it. The helicopter’s are great, felt safe and a great way to see some of the well known sites of New York City.
An absolute must for any visitor to NY🍎
