Great experience worth the cost. Magnificent view magical moment We are very well accompanied You should know that the boarding fees are not covered in the reservation and that you have to pay them on site for 40 USD per person.

Having vertigo, it remains an unforgettable experience with the best view of Manhattan! Dizziness is not felt in the helicopter and the view is truly magical!! Take full advantage of your moment, it passes so quickly.

I had an amazing experience everything went smoothly. The employees were very respectful and made sure I had the best experience. I will definitely do this again! There is also a parking garage not too far.

Experience is worth 5 stars but the friendliness of the staff needs to be much better.

Easy to book, quick access, great experience and impressions. Cheers
