    All the staff we’re excellent, friendly and engaging. The flight itself was the very best way to see the city-a must do experience!

    Die Mitarbeiter vor Ort waren super nett, nach dem kurzen Video zur Einweisung mussten wir nur noch einen kleinen Moment warten und dann ging es auch schon hoch hinaus. Man fliegt jeweils zu 6./7. und hat einen schönen Flug über den Hudson River. Eine Person sitzt in der Mitte, das kann eventuell etwas schade sein, bei uns war aber alles Top!

    War gut organisiert und pünktlich, freundliche Mitarbeiter und der Pilot hat uns während des Flugs viel über Manhatten erzählt. Leider sehr eng im Helikopter aber trotzdem empfehlenswert

    De helicoptervlucht over New York was duur maar geweldig! Mooie filmpjes gemaakt. Er was eerst een uitleg wat wel en niet mocht en veiligheidsfilm vooraf bekeken. Vriendelijk personeel. Geweldig uitzicht omdat ik ook nog eens het geluk had voorin te mogen zitten. Aanrader is ook 20 minuten te kiezen ipv 15 minuten
