Great experience. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Thank you for flying with HeliNY and for your comments regarding our team!
Great experience, we really enjoyed our flight. Everything went like clockwork. Staff were friendly, plenty of reminders and information received beforehand. The meeting point is just along from Governors Island ferry terminal, which is not far from the Staten Island ferry terminal. There were lockers for our bags. The views were amazing. The full set of digital pictures were available for 40 dollars afterwards.
Thank you for flying with HeliNY and for sharing your experience!
The team is really top-notch! We had to move our tour because of the weather, and everything was put in place to find a solution. There were six of us, and the pilot was great and very reassuring with me, as I was not very comfortable. We had the tour in English, and it was perfect! It is truly an unforgettable experience that you will not regret! I recommend them 100%!
Thank you for your wonderful recommendation and for the recognition of our team!

This was a fantastic experience!! We had a buisness trip to the City and this was one of the Highlights of the week. Got some great photos of Manhattan from above and we will never forget it. Thanks Viator and HeliNYC.
Thank you for flying with HeliNY! We're happy to know you enjoyed your experience with us.
We chose the Deluxe formula, which is supposed to be longer and allow you to see more things. Unfortunately, our placement on the plane did not allow us to fully enjoy the experience: we were both sitting from the back, which clearly ruined the panorama. Nevertheless, the tour remains beautiful; you can see and see the emblematic monuments of New York and some of its neighborhoods. However, disappointment remains regarding our placement. Considering the price, it might be better to reduce the number of people on the plane to offer better value for money
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, we do not allow passengers to choose their seats as this is strictly determined by weight and balance.
Too short, too bad 25 minutes to go again as soon as possible Why not do it on all capitals? Ideal to see the expanse of a city and its monuments
Absolutely Amazing, Staff were so friendly and helpful, everything was on time. The helicopter ride was brilliant and the pilot was well informative, would highly recommend it
Thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your HeliNY experience.
