Being from NY (L.I.), it felt like we were seeing NY for the first time. Experience was incredible despite a little rain! Our pilot (Andrew from Dublin) couldnt have been more friendly and entertaining. He made the ride that much more amazing and hope hes sees this review. The staff was also extremely friendly. The one negative was we had about an hour wait even with a scheduled time, although we ended up with a small group and a great pilot, so it was so worth it!

The actual trip was fantastic and the helicopters were in really good conditions. However, the wait at the lounge was terrible. The agencies are highly mismanaged and should learn to value time. We were made to wait for 2 hours before boarding in spite of having a reservation. All other customers were facing the same problem and were really unhappy.
