i had very bad experience with this company - they ripe us
my flight should be at 4 pm and i arrived 15 minutes before- my fist time in NY i got lost and guess what- they charged me another 135$ -so be careful using this company
I never late, I dont see...

Nasty
LuisEduardo_S
, Aug 2022
They told me that it cost 155 each, two days before they told me that I had to pay 35 dollars more for each passenger for heliport expenses and as I was doing the tour with two friends when I arrived at the place they told me that I had to pay 35 more each if you want to go on the same helicopter, the meeting place is on the street in the sun
Response from Host , Aug 2022
If you would have read the booking it clearly states that there is a $35.00 heliport fee which everyone pays either when you make your booking or when your arrive to take your tour. No one was Nasty just because they do their job, it is Customer Responsibility to READ. You made 2 bookings under different names we did not know that you were all together until you got to the heliport. You wanted to fly asap because you had other things to do, you were told that the next flight was the 25min tour and yours was the 15min and you agreed to upgrade and you would all be together since there was 3 of you and the other 2 passengers that had booked the Ultimate tour.
Use a Manhattan based company instead

This company has no heart. Flat $100 fines for 9 of us despite there being no later flights we held up and despite an accident we had no control over. It’s all about the $$ - no customer care or sympathy. The amazing pilots are being let down by rude uncaring admin staff
Response from Host , Jul 2022
You and the rest of your party checked in at 4:46 for your 5pm flight we extended your check in till 4:35 without any fees as a courtesy, we also gave you the Ultimate tour which is longer than the tour you purchased. Customers should take responsibility when they are wrong without calling anyone rude or uncaring just because they are doing their job.
Don’t use this company - they’re in NJ and too far or uncaring to help if the journey is affected
Mark_J
, Jul 2022
The company will reply with official wording and tell anyone ‘it’s very clear when you book’ but sometimes things happen and it’s out of you’re control. We left Manhattan with absolutely tonnes of time to get there and an accident meant we arrived 45mins late. They didn’t really care and still charged us $100 per person ($900) with no leniency or care.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
We gave you till 4:35 without any late fees, that is when you told us you would arrive for your tour, other people from your party were also late. You were told about the late fees before and there was no problem, we upgraded all of your party of 9 people to the Ultimate tour. Customers need to take responsibility to be on time just like when they go to the airport.
Horrible experience
Som_B

We had a horrible experience. They sent us to a location where they have another helicopter business, me and my partner were confused and stepped in to check in thinking they would send us out on a shuttle, they were kind enough to help direct us to the right company, we called for the shuttle when we get there they claimed we were 4 minutes late and charged us $50 per person. This is a fraudulent sales tactic. The woman at the location was so rude and condescending, we will never support this business again.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
If you would have read the directions and follow them you would not have been late. It is customer responsibility to call when you arrive at the pick up point, instead you went inside another helicopter company. If a person is doing their job they are not rude just because you had to pay your late fee, it is not fair for other passengers who are on time and followed directions to wait.
Best flying experience ever!

Gift for my wife's 50th birthday. Despite the bad weather (cloudy and rain) it was an unforgettable experience! The views were spectacular, the flight was longer than expected and the nice and funny pilot made it complete.
Thrilling!!! 😁😁😁

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour!! Seeing New York from the sky was amazing and the pilot was great as well. He made everybody on the trip feel completely comfortable. I would do this trip 4 more times if I could if your looking to do something fun and exciting the NYC helicopter tour is what you need to do!! I would rate it an 8/10 only because it was about a 20 minute ride which went by fast. Nonetheless it was an awesome experience and I can’t wait to do it again.
Poor experience
Ryan_S
, Jul 2022
We had a 1pm tour on 7/14. We got there at 12 and didn’t get on a helicopter until 2:30. We had other reservations after this so it wasted a lot of our money for the day. Very disappointed in the service. I had a woman handling the payment tell me she could see what she could do and I never saw her again for the rest of the day. The helicopter tour was fun which lasted 15 min. The other 2 1/2 hours were miserable. Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone
Unique, Fun and Safe

A unique experience for sure. It was the first time on a helicopter for my wife and we expected it to go a little smoothly but she felt a little air sick. No biggie. Otherwise the entire staff was friendly.
Amazing!

The tour was amazing! Only one thing was not fine: when we came back to the terminal, it was closed en there was no wifi. Some police-officers had to call us an Uber.
Not horrible but watch add on fees.
Michael_L
, Jul 2022
Be careful. We were 20 minutes late and the charged us $100 fee. They also add another heliport fee when you get there. The ride was decent. The pilot was great. The helicopter was very hot because the ac did not work very well.
Fantastic experience and value!

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.
