Disaster
Erik_L
, May 2022
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...

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.
The experience was great...

$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
Must do in New York!

Great first time helicopter experience!

Disappointed
German_D
, Apr 2022
My five-years-old son got ill within the 24 hours before the start of the tour and we could not attend the trip. We lost all the money paid due to the cancellation policies of the tour operator and nobody gave me a satisfactory solution. I understand the penalty. Dura lex sed lex. But I’m disapoointed as I would have appreciated a gesture of this very big and flexible company which is Viator.
Great experience

Great fun! Josephine and the team were very helpful and the arrangements on the day were well organised. Seeing New York City from the air was an experience that will live long in the memory - Thank you.
, scammers, 500$ for 10 minutes in the air

We went outside & they took our pictures next to the helicopter then they asked me if I wanted to take pictures in the front seat , I said yeah thinking that’s all it was then they buckled me in & told me I have to ride the front because I’m already here , separating me from my wife , mean while we was with a group group much bigger than our duo.
