Summary: The take off to me was the most memorable, followed by the spectacular view. I love it. My children enjoyed every moment. At first my girl friend was nervous but she settled down quickly. Great way to see NYC.

Summary: Being in a helicopter above such an iconic city was thrilling. I felt completely safe the whole time. Our guide and pilot answered all our questions, though he wasn't as knowledgeable about the area as I would have liked. We started early and returned early and I don't think we got a full 45 minutes, but it was close. I feel like the experience was way too expensive and I will never do it again, but for once in a lifetime, we decided to pay the price. I will just never tell anyone how much we spent. Other than the value per buck, I would give this excursion 5 stars.

Summary: We live in Westchester, and all I can say is if you are also living or based in Westchester, and looking for the easiest, smoothest and best helicopter experience of New York City, look no further. The facilities are fantastic, the staff are super friendly and helpful, and safety is their priority. We were extremely impressed, and it's awesome value compared with other companies too. 5 stars!
