Reviews

The tour operator was excellent. We were celebrating a birthday for on of us. We got stuck in traffic and was running late. They waited for us. Excellent customer service. Excellent tour.

Rashidah S., United States, 09-2011

I guess this is one of the things you do when you go to NYC. I enjoyed it but wasnt blown away. Been i a helicopter before so didnt have the thrill of that new experience. They fly you around Governors Island and around S of L on Liberty Island before heading up West of Manhattan. Good view of most of the city and tyhe pilot gave a helpful commentary. Also felt it all worked pretty smoothly when we arrived. Not much hanging about or anything.

Jeremy H., United Kingdom, 09-2011

I was very disappointed with the security check which was made by an employee of the tour company. The metal detector lit up with objects in both myself and my sons pockets but no further search was made. For $30 this was scandalous. We could have had anything in our pockets and no further search as made. Staff were also not insistent enough in customers watching safety video.

Paul S., United Kingdom, 07-2011

I had never been in a helicopter before and was a little apprehensive, but I had no need to be. It is certainly certainly the best ways to see the sights of New York

Diane B., United Kingdom, 04-2011

Petrus v., Netherlands, 12-2010

It is spectacular to see New York from above. Maybe you think: what a lot of money, but it is worth it.

Agnes R., Netherlands, 10-2010

We were suprised to be met on the street by representative of the group, but he led us to the booking in area, where we were quickly processed. I was pleased to find that the facilities were well looked after and every concideration met. The ground-staff were very chatty and playful (which wasn't altogether what one would expect) and keen to ensure that one got the most out of the activity (taking photos/reminding one to turn on one's camera!). Once in the air, the pilot was very proffessional and made one feel at ease. We didn't have the best weather for the ride, but still it was most enjoyable.

Tina F., United Kingdom, 10-2010

The helipcopter flight was great, however it was scheduled for 11:30 and due to organizational delays I was only able to enter the boarding room at 12:30, then waiting a bit more in order to change vouchers and board flight.

ANDRE S., Belgium, 09-2010

Be aware, there has to be paid an airport fee, that will be 31 usd per person.

Jack I., Netherlands, 06-2010

A great helicopter experience. great views of all the main landmarks. A great memory to take home.

Robert P., United Kingdom, 03-2010

If you ever want a helicopter ride, do it around Manhattan.

Victor P., South Africa, 02-2010

Booking and confirmation was easy, the heliport was easy to find, the staff were very good and welcoming and the flight unreal.

Kristian C., United Kingdom, 01-2010

Can definitely recommend this tour

Björn W., Switzerland, 07-2009

The helicopter tour is very good, you can see all the things by air and it was wonderful all the views.

isabel J., Spain, 04-2009

fantastic experience well worth the money

deborah w., United States, 02-2009

Tourcorp themselves very efficient and website clear. we booked Liberty Helicopters, although the actual flight was a good experience the customer service communication from Liberty Helicopters while waiting for our flight was poor and the offices we were left waiting in could be a lot more customer friendly.

janet h., United States, 11-2008

Unforgettable.

Alejandro J. A., United States, 10-2008

Highlight of our first trip to NYC !

Matthew L., United Kingdom, 10-2008

There was 5 of us on this trip and it exceeded our expectations it was fantastic and we would say it is a must if you go to New York and I would do it again in a minute.

Carol R., United States, 10-2008

Great impressions of NYC from a bird´s view. Especially when turning at the statue of liberty and flying back straight on Manhattan Downtown. Another highlight is to leave the Hudson River to fly across Harlem and/or the Bronx including the Yankee´s stadium.

Manuela G., United States, 09-2008

Once in the helicopter the tour was good, we got to see all of the major sights of Manhattan from a birds eye view and the pilot was informative.

Nikki T., United States, 09-2008

It was really an exciting experience! The best way to enjoy the skyline of Manhattan

Andrea T., United States, 09-2008

It was awesome.

Gregory B., United States, 09-2008

Flying with the helicopter over Manhattan was a great experience which I recommend for every NYC visitor that has a little bit of extra money!

Michael F., United States, 09-2008

Excellent and surprising activity to do in NY

Elisabet M., Spain, 08-2008

The tour was great! Thank you very much, we had a wonderful time ad enjoyed the view a lot!

Gudrun E., Austria, 07-2008

It was nice to see the skyline of Manhattan from the view in the helicopter. also the typical sightseeing points (ground zero, empire state building, statue of Liberty etc.)

Stefan S., Germany, 07-2008

it was a great experience! j'ai adoré voir new york sous cet angle!

Andy G., United States, 06-2008

I enjoyed it - it was great fun

Silvia V., Austria, 06-2008

Helicopter tour was a great experience and would recommend it to anybody going to NYC. The booking process was good and there were no issues here. The staff at site were extremely unhelpful. We (two of us) arrived 40 mins before our booking time of 1600hrs but didn't get on the tour until 1705hrs as a group had arrived (unbooked) and they prioritized them instead of us, who had booked. When we questioned this the staff told us we could come back another time...we were there from the UK potentially for the only time in our lives! The staff seemed unconcerned and told us we had no other option even though a helicopter was taking off every 5 minutes with the huge unexpected group.

Graham C., United Kingdom, 06-2008

The Big Apple Tour was excellent value and all staff were friendly, courteous and very helpful. Although a misty day, we had an excellent flight and it was a wonderful way to see "The Lady" as they called her and the amazing Manhattan skyline. I would do it again .

Mary S., United Kingdom, 05-2008

It has been very interesting and really it is worth enough for its price. The only problem is that the helicopter company does not cover the schedules and make people to wait a lot.

Daniel V., Spain, 05-2008

The tour is quite expensive but the experience is unique and the staff very professional

Philippe G., France, 05-2008

It is a great activity and we enjoyed it a lot but people should be aware that on site they ask you for supplement (25$/pers)

Fernandez V., Belgium, 05-2008

An excellent flight and the staff offered to change the day over the phone on our original day as the weather was poor. They even arranged for my son to sit up front with the pilot as i had requested when i booked on line. A top part of our visit to New York! Many thanks. Phil.

Philip G., United Kingdom, 04-2008

IF THERE WAS ONE WAY TO SEE NEW YORK THEN THIS IS IT....WE HAD AN AMAZING TIME ONLY 12 MINUTES BUT IT WAS WELL WORTH IT AND I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYWAY.

kevin l., United Kingdom, 12-2007

Großartige Aussicht

Andreas B., Germany, 12-2007

Lars H., Germany, 12-2007

very friendly staff, pilot´s comments and attitude during helicopter tour were absolutely great. we really enjoyed this trip.

Danka B., Czech Republic, 12-2007

Except the weather everything was fine. We made this tour for the second time and when we'll be the next time in NY (we're from Germany)we probably will make this tour again.

Wolfgang S., Germany, 11-2007

Great

Denis C., Spain, 11-2007

Excellent helicopter flight - helped by the clear blue skies and good visibility. Watch out for the extra charge for flying from the 12th Avenue heliport. Worth every cent, but don't let the ignorant telephone manner of the office staff and rudeness of the pre-flight search personnel upset you, the rest of the crew are highly professional.

Chris U., United Kingdom, 10-2007

There was an hour delay on our tour. Although it was very hot that day and the facilities were poor for waiting (very hot room). The atmosphere and the attitude of the employees during the waiting period and finally the helicopter tour itself made it worth waiting.

Ger v., United States, 10-2007

the tour was wonderful and the views were breathtaking, we would recommend it to anyone

JOHN S., United Kingdom, 07-2007

VERY NICE EXPERIENCE

Lluis P., Spain, 04-2007

Great service, friendly staff, unforgettable heli ride!
