We Booked before we left for NYC and it could not have been simpler. When we arrived we jsut called to book our time and we could have a pick of time that suited us and it was easy to book and worht while doing so you know exaclty what time to get there to save hanging around. When we got there we got in straight away and the trip itself was amazing. you really get to see NY from the best view. You have all seen it in the movies but nothing compares to doing it yourself. I would certainly reccomend this trip to anyone, it was great.

My self and my partner really enjoyed this tour. It was our first time in new york and our first time on a helicopter. We got to see views that we could never of seen from the ground, and also saved us alot of walking. we really enjoyed this experience and would definitely recommend it as a worth while tour.

New York was my dream holiday and my boyfriend brought me here as a surprise! It was a real surprise to me when he asked me to marry him in Central Park on Valentines night! It was also a surprise when on our last day in New York, he had booked us a helicopter ride! What better than to experience my dream city from the air where we saw the splendor and beauty of the Big Apple. We also flew past the exact spot in Central Park where my fiance proposed to me! How perfect! The tour company made this important experience in my life perfect and flawless! Thank you!

It was great. This is the second time I have done this trip and it was just as good as the last time. A must if you want to see Manhatten from a different angle.

The tour was great the only thing that would make it better is more time on the helicopter. even though there are more options for more time but more time without having to pay so much more would really be nice.

The staff were incredibly pleasant and helpful. Waiting was minimal. The flight itself was fantastic - although would have loved a few more minutes in the air.
