Great value for money,...

Published on Jan, 2025

Great value for money, and very easy to walk to from subway station . Modern helicopters with audio of landmarks and history

A memory that will last a lifetime.

Published on Dec, 2024

Hands down one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I got to sit up the front with the pilot, which definitely made it even more magical. The take off and landing is so smooth you don’t even realise it’s happening, then you fly over manhattan with an audio tour of all the sites. Just incredible. A memory that will last a lifetime.

Fantastic views

Published on Dec, 2024

Excellent tour, easy to find, fantastic views. Despite the windy weather it was excellent. The helicopter driver assured us that despite of the windy weather it was still safe to fly this helped put me at ease.

Perfect experience
