Any Helicopter ride is good, but I realized when I was there, other Vendor's were equipped with newer/better Helicopters and the experience can be impacted greatly by this based on comfort and visibility. It was very smooth process, thus It could have been a little bit more luxurious for the price paid. They really wanted a very efficient get in/get out money making machine instead of a true experience. I really liked the folks on the ground, those guys were very friendly. So my tip is check the Vendors before booking, I had limited time, so ended up with Liberty, but would have considered another vendor if I had time to do more research.

This was so much fun! Kids had a great time sitting up front and see all the sites from the sky.

Nice views of NYC. The actual ride was 20-25 minutes too short. I must say our pilot did provide informative information about various buildings and sights along the way.

Wonderful experience, a quite different angle to see NY, unlike the comments on the website of the tour we did not even wait for 5 minutes, relatively speeded up process to board... My daughter loved it. Definitely look for another tour for my next trip!

This was booked as a gift for my boyfriend for his 40th birthday. He had never been to NYC and so what better way to see it all than from the air! I booked our trip 24 hours in advance, the next day when he called Liberty Helicopter to book our flight time. The woman on the phone was rude and told him that there were no more times available and that same day reservations are not normally accepted. He explained that the reservations had been made the day before through Viator and her response was They don't make reservations, I do! So, reluctantly he made them for a Saturday. We were told to be there 30 min in advance of our flight time 12pm. We arrived and checked-in at the front desk at 11:30:27am our ticket was time stamped and instructed to sit on a wooden bench for our flight group to be called. After an hour of patiently waiting, we asked a Liberty Helicopter employee when we were going to be called for our tour. He asked what time we were scheduled and what time we we checked in and that flight times can vary based upon group sizes and weight distribution of the aircraft. I completely understand this fact and would never want a company to eschew safe operations because it might make some customers unhappy however, effectively communication of delays doesn't impact flight times. By this point the waiting area was packed with other patrons while Liberty Helicopters' safety video played on a constant loop blaring at high volume. We were finally called for our flight and into the helicopter we went. To see the city from the air was amazing, but realize your 18-20 minute flight time includes taking off and landing. So actually site seeing time is roughly 10-12 minutes. My boyfriend loved the city and getting to see it from the air however, we were both thoroughly displeased with Liberty Helicopters and staff. We have since reached out to them and expressed our concerns. Below is the reply from Pam Schaefer of Liberty Helicopters.

Fantastic helicopter trip, we saw all the top sights. We were really lucky as we got a few extra minutes whilst waiting to land! Probably the best value helicopter trip out there.

This is also a must do as you really get to understand just how NY is made up.

I booked this to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday and she hates flying. But I had no need to worry. All the staff were friendly and professional and made us feel very welcome. The flight was brilliant with great views of New York, especially as the weather was perfect. I would recommend this trip to anyone and so would my wife!!!

enjoyed it but didnt see all i hoped as on one side of helicopter and didnt see that well from the middle
Review by: Jenny S, June 2016
We really enjoyed the helicopter over NY! Best way to see all the sights - our pilot gave a good detailed tour but the only downside was the amount of people in the helicopter..4 large people crammed in back and two smaller in front..completely understand the weight ratio but I believe would be more enjoyable if less people in helicopter. more 4.5 stars..
