  ID is required upon arrival which was not made clear on the tour description, also, an additional $82 for Tax needs to be paid, this was not listed either, for anyone not familiar with add on tax this could come as a surprise because when booked online it says Paid. With that said, the experience itself is amazing, I still give a 5 star truly base on the experience of the tour, the above are communication problems which can be improved.

  Honestly, it's a lot of money, but it's one of those "do it once" things. The whole thing was really well-run from start to finish, which I appreciated. The staff was friendly and got us all checked out without any fuss. My husband got to sit up front with the pilot and was grinning from ear to ear the whole time. The views are just insane, you really can't comprehend the scale of the city until you see it from above. My only tiny complaint is that you have to be there so early and then just wait, but I get why they do it. The flight itself is smooth and feels way too short. Would I do it again? Probably not, because of the price. But am I glad I did it? 100%. It was the highlight of our trip.

  Easy to find for us foreigners.... Arrived early, but we went up without waiting our turn, more than an hour. The staff was very friendly.

  Expensive but unique experience. Friendly staff We were lucky to have clear skies. The flight lasted 20min but the audio guides did not work.

  Booked this tour as the other half had not been to New York before and it's something I think you should do. We booked the Deluxe Tour as you got 20 minutes flying time. We wandered down to Pier 6 which is next to the Staten Island Ferry Terminal and easy to find. A very friendly welcome from the staff and well organised. You get weighed as you enter (yes, I know, but it determines where you sit in the helicopter) then you pay the $40 each for the port fee (it's in the small print). There's a nice waiting room with toilets, drinks machine and comfortable chairs. You have to be there 45 minutes before and if anything changes with the flight schedule on, the communication is really good! Ours changed by an hour, they emailed and they called us to make sure we were ok with the time slot. You then have a training video and are given your life jacket, then off you go to meet your pilot. The other half was lucky enough to sit up front with the pilot (made his day!) and I was on the back seat (too many hotdogs is my only excuse!) then off we went. A great flight over the hudson, up to the Statue of Liberty and along the skyline, great views and a smooth flight. We landed back after 20 minutes and returned to the waiting room. We thoroughly enjoyed it, the staff were professional and would definitely recommend this one.

  So disappointed by the service, I chose the scheduled time at sunset in order to propose with a breathtaking view behind, at the final takeoff 45min before time, with the sole purpose I think to fill empty seats .. what interest in this case to offer takeoff times? Moreover, what was not my surprise, on the morning of D-Day, when I received an email informing me that I would have to pay $40 extra per person for fees out of the hat and of course after the cancellation limit. Disappointment on disappointment for a “luxury” benefit over $500 Also, a couple who were on the same flight as us were separated, Mr. at the back and Mrs. at the front of the aircraft, as co-pilots. I would definitely not recommend

  This was a nice tour. Organized. The guide is a recording you don’t hear from an actual person. Our headsets didn’t work for the first 1/2 of the tour so it was hard to know what the talking point was but the pilot fixed it. You never fly over any part of the city, just along the river. They will also offer to take your photo at the helipad for 25$ for 1 picture or 25$ for all 5 pictures. The funny thing is it’s the same photo! They dont take different photos of you around or in the helicopter. Which was funny that they bragged about the 35$ for 5 photos instead of 1 even though they are all basically the same haha overall a great trip. Beautiful views.
