Father’s Day Surprise

I decided to surprise my husband for Fathers Day with a NYC helicopter tour and we absolutely loved it. The staff was amazing and the pilot was informative and fun. We will definitely be back with the kids.
Awesome experience over the skies of manhattan.

The service was excellent and the ride was amazing and very memorable. The view was breathtaking and the pilot was very nice and easygoing. The lateness rules are very strict though. I did not realize that “Dry Dock Bistro” was a food joint and I was looking for another sign with it so it took me much longer to get there and then I had to pay a $100 fee per person:( I’m still very happy with the experience though!

Our scheduled flight was at 4pm. We arrived at 3:20pm and were still charged a late fee of $150. They tried to compensate with some additional flying time but our flight took off only at 4:40pm even though scheduled for 4pm. If the organizers can’t keep time why are they charging us exorbitant fees for coming 5 mins late ? The actual flight and sights were good but the customer experience was bad as we were made to wait and overcharged for 5 min delay on our part. Hence I would not recommend this tour.
Amazing, fun and would do it again.

It was amazing. From arriving to leaving we felt welcomed and informed.The pilot gave us snipets of information throughout the duration of the flight.We were up in the air for over 20 minutes and went around The statue of liberty. It exceeded my expectations. A must if you go to New York. Would highly recommend this company.

Very rude staff that send us an email the day before departure that we should have been there 45 minutes before the time that we thought. Then we get a late fee of 500 dollars because of this. It was very hard to understand this because we don’t check out email in the us that often. When we came they where also very rude. Its easy to understand that this is a way for the company to earn more money when the tourist miss understand them. This is systematic

This is cheap at the first sight but after all unfair fees they add it’s more expensive than others and really rude personelle. I don’t recommend this place
Horrible. Never again.

I will never book with this company again. The extra fees are so extreme and the customer service is horrible. The lack of ability to reschedule is frustrating.

$400 for barely 10 minutes. Our pictures was never uploaded.

Lasted only 10 minutes if that. Helicopter doesn't give both sides of the Helicopter the same view of the city. We could see World trade center but the fly over liberty statue it was pretty bad. They took our pictures, and you go at the link, for May 1st 2022, and there's nothing there. Everything feels pretty rushed up. Very had experience. You pay almost U$$400,00 for barely 10 minutes. I would suggest to go with any other tour company but for sure not this one.

Very unfriendly, hidden fees and overall just not a nice experience. They dont put any effort into it. I did helicopter flights at the Grand Canyon and Hawaii and they were sooooo much nicer (and I dont mean with what you see, but just the overall experience). Not worth the money at all.

My wife and 13yr old son have never been in a helicopter. Not only did they love the experience but my son was given the cockpit seat next to the pilot. That was a lifetime memory for all of us
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
