    Was recommended by our friends from Cali who just had a tour with Zip to celebrate their engagement and they had the most amazing experience. Took my son since he is obsessed with helicopters and airplanes, he was over the moon when we took off, brought tears to my eyes when we got so close to the Statue of Liberty🗽. The guys were so friendly and professional, gorgeous aircraft, truly a dream come true experience, whether you are a New Yorker like me or a visitor, this should be on top of the must-do list!!

    Wouldn’t recommend it, and it was not my first time in such a tour. They will move your reservation to ensure all the flights are full (6 people: one next to the pilot, 5 behind) which means somebody has a middle seat-NO WINDOW!!! I just got to see everybody eleses phones or heads. There was almost no room to move behind, and windows ended up being foggy due to breathing condensation…we had to constantly clean them to get decent view or pictures. Told the guy after landing, he didn’t seem to care at all. If you can afford it, book a flight with less passengers.

    We saw the helicopters making short tours of Manhattan Island from a short boat tour we were on and decided on the spur of the moment to see if they had any flights available as we hadn’t pre-booked on-line. The guys were really helpful and whilst I was concerned that we wouldn’t be able to get on (and we were leaving later that day) there was availability that we were able to take advantage of for the same price. The helicopters were modern, safe and clean. The pilot, Jesse, was super-friendly and made us feel relaxed and comfortable. The tour was perfect and gave us great views of this impressive city There was a comfortable reception and waiting area where we could take refreshments before the tour and we had a safety briefing before the flight. A great way to see the city and take great videos and photos. Particular thanks to Neftali for getting us on the flight and Xavier for helping us on and off the helicopter, as well as our pilot Jesse previously mentioned Highly recommended

    We had an incredible time. From a smooth check-in to take off. From the clean aircraft to a friendly and experienced pilot. From the sweeping panoramic views of the city, to the informative tour of famous land marks. Wonderful company to book through and great adventure to experience. We will return!
