The staff made us feel like cottle. Shouting orders and smoking at the entrance of the venue was a turn off.

Location is easy to find and very convenient. You're right in the heart of things before you even take off. We were told to check in 45 mins before our flight time, which we did and were then rushed straight onto a helicopter, which was a bit of a rush and not the most relaxing way to start our experience. However, I had confidence in the staff and everything went very smoothly. The photo guy at the end reminded me that we'd already bought 2 x photos through our GroupOn voucher, so we should claim them - I would have otherwise paid for them again! Overall, a great experience - just a little rushed at the beginning.

We had a great time flying around the city. The pilot was very friendly and funny. Would recommend to everyone. Beautiful views of the statue of liberty, freedom tower, empire state building, central park and all the other must see sites in the city.

We take helicopter tours every vacation and this was the worst one. The staff were all friendly and thorough but the flight itself was anticlimactic. It lasted like 15 minutes and the pilot only pointed out the obvious monuments that anyone could point out. No guided history, we all pretty much sat there in silence. And for the complimentary photos - they were horrible quality and fuzzy.

About Zip Aviation
Typically, you can only see Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and One World Trade Center in less than an hour while leafing through a stack of New York postcards. However, Zip Aviation confounds expectations, whisking tourists over those landmarks and more on one of three helicopter tours in 12–30 minutes. Helmed by a team of pilots with an impeccable safety record, the tours grant passengers a bird’s-eye view of the city aboard their Bell helicopters. Tours are also available in nine different languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, or Chinese. The aviation company complements its sightseeing excursions with an array of other transit services, including private charters and special-event transportation options.
