New York Helicopters - Awesome experience - Whilst in NYC we decided to book a helicopter flight. We searched the web, read reviews and then we read the reviews again...... it's a lot of money so we were trying to research as much as possible We booked via Tripadvisor which was simple (this is linked to the Viator app). We ended up amending our timeslot to suit our schedule (via the Tripadvisor app). I even called NY Helicopters for advice and they were super helpful Yes you have to be there on time otherwise you will pay a late fee per person. Yes there is a fuel charge per person. But it's written there in black & white, really clear with no surprises We got to the helipad early and got on our flight early The ground team were polite and chatty as we were briefed. The flight was absolutely amazing, we were blessed with a clear sunny day which was great and the pilot was chatty and pointed out the main landmarks 100% would recommend NY Helicopters

A Sky-High Adventure in the Big Apple! 🗽🚁 - We recently took a New York City Helicopter Tour for our boys (19 and 15), and it was amazing! The views of the iconic skyline, including the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and Central Park, were breathtaking. The pilot was knowledgeable, and we felt safe and comfortable the whole time. The highlight was flying over the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset—simply magical. Boys loved every minute and couldn't stop taking photos. This tour is a must-do for anyone wanting a unique perspective of NYC. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend - great experience - So worth it! Incredible views and great way to get the lay of the land. Friendly staff and well organised. My nine year old loved it and will remember forever. There is a $50 per person charge for fuel in addition to the fee but it is clearly stated in advance so I didn’t mind. Remember to take your passport if international or valid drivers license. Super easy to get to from the subway to battery park. My only watch out is the photos afterward - the pics are generic helicopter. It is $25 for one or $50 for all of them. Recommend only getting one!

Exciting experience - beautiful experience! with my daughter and my partner we wanted to make this gift, and it was worth it. The view is similar to the one you get from skyscraper watchers but you're on the move! you pass by the skyscrapers, you fly over the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, you get to Harlem. It lasts only a quarter of an hour or so but it really deserves! not cheap (about $250 each) but once it has to be done.

Bad experience - I don't recommend it, it's not the time they say. And nomas make you dizzy with the turn they take. It is better to look for another agency.....
