Excellent!
I’d say go early so no queues etc, but very well ran operation!
Got the full flight time and the pilot speaking commentary live as some are pre recorded on other companies

This flight was an amazing way to see the city - just cruising past the Statue of Liberty is surreal - it's like you're in a movie!
The company was well organised and the staff were friendly. Would definitely recommend this as a memorable experience.

Amazing experience and well worth it. Staff were fantastic and talked you through everything that you needed to know. No waiting about and the flight was full of information too. Key areas all pointed out and plenty of time to take pictures and videos.

Our tour got cancelled. Make sure you use a company that is established and runs throughout the year

Seeing Mahattan from the sky is an incredible experience. The 20 minutes spent is enough to appreciate the panorama and offer an impressive glimpse of the immensity of the city. The organization is impeccable both at the start and at the finish, and the driver is really top. Moreover, the seating configuration poses no problem to capture great photos.
