An absolutely AMAZING experience from start to finish!
I would like to thank the entire team for their professionalism, kindness and kindness. It was my birthday and they made it even more special 🥹 Everyone wished me a happy birthday, the atmosphere was warm and caring — I felt really privileged.
They had the delicacy to place me next to the pilot... and there it was just magical. The sight, the sensations, the emotion... I don’t even have the words. A moment out of time, etched in my memory forever.
The team is incredibly gentle, very reassuring and very caring from start to finish. We feel that they love what they do and want to offer a unique experience.
Thank you very much for this unforgettable memory. I recommend with my eyes closed 🤍🚁✨

This was my first helicopter ride. Very cool experience! Seeing Manhattan from the air was just incredible. Our pilot was funny and a great tour guide too. Loved it!
