It was well worth the money, I booked this activity as a surprise birthday gift and it was much appreciated. It made the trip quite unforgettable and while seeing so many things from the bird perspective crosses off quite a few things such as taking a ferry to see the Statue of Liberty or going on a rooftop of say Freedom Tower. The audio quire wasn’t the language I had booked it in but thankfully we both understood English so it wasn’t too bad. Music which was played suited the ambiente and to finish the tour with Empire State of Mind by Alicia Keys was fantastically fitting. We arrived earlier than our scheduled time and they even managed to take us on an earlier flight. It’s a great activity I can only recommend doing it, it’s not an everyday thing to do so - give it a try. :)

Good experience

You can reach the Downtown Manhattan Heliport located at pier 6 about 30 'in advance, where after a passport and ticket check, a video in English of just a few minutes is shown regarding the security measures. At the set time you reach and board the helicopter. After take-off, one flies over Governors Island and the Statue of Liberty with excellent visibility for all 5 occupants on board as the pilot performs slow maneuvers, then the fortune to stay alongside the pilot or in the two pilot view seats that allow a better visibility over Manhattan until reaching the beginning of Central Park where the helicopter turns and returns to the base along the Hudson River. Next personal experience will be with helicopter without doors. Excellent experience.

Amazing
