    Everyone there was helpful positive and informative. I took my girlfriend there for her birthday since she always wanted to ride the helicopter to see the city. Will try to do a private tour next time.

    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.
