Perfect experience - Lovely experience! If you respect the checkin time everything is perfect. The pilot was also a guide, presenting all the stuff we saw around, and doing some tricks so that we can see the Statue of Liberty on pth sides and from very close.

Great views - Tour was amazing, but staff is not friendly. Almost everyone were kind of rude to the customers. I recommend taking the tour, but not sure about the company unless they improve customer service.

Great experience - We had a great experience. After arriving way too early we were fastly transferred to the port. After a short introduction to the security guidelines we were able to directly board a helicopter. The pilot and all personal was very nice and professional. We felt secure during all times. Negative points: there is a jungle of fees and penalty fees around the booking, which makes it intransparent. The location in new Jersey is a bit difficult to reach by public transport.

Great experience but improvements in communication needed. - The Helicopter ride itself is an exhilarating experience. the penalties for late arrival are steep and it could be emphasized in the Viator confirmation email. there was also a $45 per person surcharge at the helicopter hangar which was not mentioned.

Not what it seems. - Based on previous reviews and scores on Viator we decided to book with this company. Air field is in New Jersey so be mindful of transfers when booking. To be honest the helicopter flight was good and our pilot Nathan was amazing. He was informative, cracked jokes and added to our experience. Unfortunately the lack of professionalism by the ground staff was alarming. We witnessed another couple from our flight being taken off and accused of breaking equipment which didn’t happen and asked to pay to repair/replace said item. There were no checks of equipment in between flights. I would recommend a more reputable company if was to fly again.
