Really excellent. Had to put down after 10 minutes due to a terrorist threat but were given another 15 minute ride as soon as the threat was over. Zip rule for customer service!

Excellent tour. Pilot very informative, and we didn't have to wait long before flying. However, it must be noted that if you get the wrong side of the helicopter then you will not see as much or have many photo opportunities. Fortunately for us the other member of our party was at the good side.

Vast and amazing New York
Disappointed that we didn't get the full Grand Tour as stated! 15mins instead of 25mins. I was squeezed between two people so didn't get very many photos.
