I am lucky to seat in front beside the pilot. There is so cool to see New York from the sky. I am happy with my tour. Just the photographer need to improve his skills.
Amazing experience with first class staff. Made it worthwhile. Pilot was great and everyone ensured we had a safe flight
Great experience, friendly staff and easy to book and locate. Girlfriend loved it as the boat trips were cancelled due to ice.
