REVIEWS OF Liberty Helicopters Sightseeing Tours and Charter IN New York

Jamie Duncan-Westbrook

After travelling all the way from Australia the the US for a once in a lifetime trip, coming to the one place you’ve dreamt about seeing for years, to only be ripped off completely on a helicopter trip you’ve looked forward to for over a year. That’s the only way I can explain my experience. Staff and customer service was shocking. After arriving and pre paying over $800 for two people, we were abruptly told that we needed to pay another $40 per person for helicopter service fees. Furthermore, we were told we’d be on the 2pm flight, and after being ripped off more money (as if the $800+ wasn’t enough), we were put on at 1.45pm flight in order to fill up space on another helicopter. The views may have been minutely better, if placed in the front 2 seats or on the opposite side to the pilot, however being squished up against the smallest window on the helicopter and hardly able to take photos, it was a disgrace. Additionally, we were only in the air for 10 minutes, the other 5 of those were getting in and out of the helicopter. The one thing that blows my mind, is that stated in the inclusions of this deal, was to fly over the big Apple whilst being guided by your pilot. NONE of this happened. We flew, for a solid 10 minutes down the Hudson River, and that was all. With the only decent piece of information of any kind the pilot told us was about Lady Liberty. To me, I do not understand how such a big company can run off such radical pricing for such short trips, and NOT give the correct CUSTOMER SERVICE which should be applied. If you are considering flying with Liberty, I advice you not to. The prices are daylight robbery, and it seems like you’d get a better experience and see more by viewing the Big Apple on google maps... > Liberty Helicopters, Please re-evaluate you’re service.

Mr B

Una autentica estafa de empresa. Te cobran un dineral por el viaje largo y luego te llevan a una zona totalmente opuesta a la ciudad para cumplir ese tiempo. Te ponen a cada uno en una punta del helicoptero, dicen que por el peso, pero es porque metene a 3 parejas donde solo entran 5 personas. Ademas de esto te cobran 80€ de seguro y hasta 2€ obligatorios para guardarte la mochila que no te dejan llevar en el helicoptero. Ademas contratan empresas "externas" que te abordan antes del viaje para realizar videos a 100€ , videos que una vez pagas te dicen que son solo del helipuerto y si quieres en las que sale el helicoptero te intentan cobrar otros 20€!!! Una estafas montada en toda regla para sacarte hasta el ultimo dolar.

(Translated by Google) Home cold. Important, it would be wise to adapt the security rules to different nationalities. 5 people in the helicopter is too much because "piled up". The helicopter tour is too short for the price ... Experience all the same unforgettable. (Original) Accueil froid.

Albert Webster

The good: Pilot was awesome and very attentive. Helicopter ride and sights were amazing. The bad: Don't expect to get on a flight anytime soon around midday. We had a reservation for 1:30pm so we arrived at 1pm. We didnt get into the building until 2:12pm after being sunburned and doubly sore from standing in line after walking all over NYC. We then had another 40min wait before we got into the helicopter. I could understand some delays and making sure the flights are safe but a two hour wait shows some poor organization. I would recommend taking a helicopter ride, but if you expect to get anything else done that day after your flight it better be a few hours after, especially if you reserve a midday flight. Oh and if you see other people walking up and going in about 20x faster, that's because they went with a different company and they are all in the same building, but guess what you have non-refundable reserved tickets so hope you put on sunblock.

We were sold a big apple tour taking in the key sights. It was difficult to hear the pilots bored commentary and we missed a couple of the highlights. Unless you know exactly what to look for you may as well just enjoy the view. Was supposed to be 15 mins and it was only 11 in the air.

Jacqui Powell

Booked online prior to trip. Arrived approx 45mins early (due to light traffic) we would've preferred to wait until our chosen time but we're moved forward, when we stated we'd prefer to wait were told times money & they want every seat filled. No issues regarding safety that was good. Very tall West Indian gentlemen was great he walked us to the helicopter & took the photos he was very kind. If you are luckily enough to be seated on the opposite side to the pilot your view will be much better. As the pilot went slowly & low past the statue of liberty on the right side. However due to the people of the right plus gentlemen in the middle we couldn't take any photos then the pilot turned around for another fly past but raised the helicopter so our view was looking down on the top. This was the story for the entire trip, slowly went up the Hudson, came back faster therefore anyone on the left behind the pilot has restricted view. I also ordered & paid online for 2 photos. When I went to collect it the lady tried to charge me again, when I explained I'd prepaid she was reluctant to believe me & became a little stroppy, her colleague then stepped in checked the system & saw that I had paid. That was an unnecessary & awkward situation which shouldnt have happened. I have flown in helicopters before in other countries & the pilot has always ensured passengers on both side have the same opportunity to see & take photos sadly this wasn't the case with our liberty pilot.

(Translated by Google) Two days booked in advance and leave phone number. Upon arrival, then the info that shifts the flight by 1 h - is still ok. We were put off again and again. After nearly 2.5 hours wait we asked for our money back. In New York, every minute is worth gold and then long to wait, excluding drinks is outrageous. Allegedly problems with the staff what you could say from the outset but, give or phone communication. No thanks. (Original) Zwei Tage im Voraus gebucht und Handy Nummer hinterlassen. Bei Ankunft dann die Info, dass sich der Flug um 1 h verschiebt - ist noch ok. Wir wurden immer wieder vertröstet. Nach fast 2.5h Wartezeit haben wir unser Geld zurück verlangt. In New York ist jede Minute Gold wert und dann solange warten zu müssen, ohne Getränke ist eine Unverschämtheit. Angeblich Probleme mit dem Personal, was man aber auch von Anfang an sagen könnte, oder telefonisch Bescheid geben. Nein, Danke.

Bruce Snow

Great experience! It’s not cheap but it’s well worth the money to get an amazing view and perspective on Manhattan and the surrounding area.

Will Parkinson

Be prepared to wait and wait and wait. First booking was cancelled due to low visibility so we rescheduled for the following day for midday. They advised we arrive 30 mins early which we did at 11:30. Upon arriving we were turned away at the gate as they were delays of an hour and told to come back an hour later. Upon returning at 12:30 we had to wait in the que outside in the baking hot sun for 30 minutes. Once we got in we were ushered into the waiting area (pen) for a further 50 minutes waiting for the flight number to be called. When our flight was eventually called we had to que for a further 20 mins while the helicopter went to refuel in New Jersey. Eventually we got on the helicopter almost 3 hours after our originally flight slot which totally messed up the rest of the days plans All in all 3 hours of waiting is definitely not worth the price of admission for a short 20 min flight up and down the Hudson River. There is also a hidden $40/person Heliport fee that must be paid on arrival. You could rent a private helicopter plus pilot from a few miles outside NYC and have your own private tour for not much more than the cost of this experience for a large family. Would not recommend.

CL1998

great views!! amazing, worth the money, but make sure you print out your online receipt/payment details etc as they wont let you through without it. other than that pretty simple and amazing :) & bring I.D!!! passport etc. loved it

Dilan Martin

My name is Dilan Martin and I'm from England. I had a really good experience at Liberty. I am kind of suprised at some of the negative feedback because my experience was nothing but positive. When we arrived we stepped into the line and checked in. Once we checked in, it took maybe 10min before they called us up to go. We watch a security video and boarded the helicopter. They take pictures of you and your party before you board in front of the helicopter. Once the tour started it was very exciting. I took the tour that was called the Big Apple tour, with that tour it is 15min and to be quite honest it felt a lil longer. More like 17-18..the pilot was very friendly, he gave us history and told us exactly what were looking at. We captured some really cool pics of the statue of liberty. We came pretty close to it. Of course we saw the city and the famous buildings. My favorite part of the tour was when it was time to head back to the heliport, we had to make a U-turn and the helicopter tilts to the side as it turns..It really was fun and exciting.

(Translated by Google) Courteous, polite and efficient, a very cool driver. free lockers to put your bags. Feel free to go. It's a bit expensive but really worth it. (Remember that you have a $ 40 fee to pay extra per person) (Original) Courtois, polis et efficaces, un pilote super cool. Casiers gratuits pour mettre ses sacs. N'hésitez pas à y aller. C'est un peu cher mais franchement ça vaut le coup. (N'oubliez pas que vous avez une taxe de 40 $ à payer en sus par personne)

David Loveday

Great helicopter ride with stunning views of NYC.

Jim Ru

On the advice of a friend, we took a helicopter tour around Manhattan, from the Liberty Helicopter's helipad pier in the East River, near the Staten Island Ferry dock on lower Manhattan (South Ferry subway station on the 1 train). Our pilot (Captain Kirk, and no I'm not kidding) was extremely polite and very professional. He ensured all passengers were safely buckled in, and briefed us on what we could expect, before actually moving. His care and concern was evident and genuine (he cannot be a native New Yorker). He let us know that we would lift off and the back up over the East River just a bit, before banking and flying away for our tour--good info to know, as I wasn't expecting a back-and-go departure. The tour took us out around Governor's Island, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, up the Hudson River and across the George Washington Bridge, and then back down the Hudson along the NJ Palisades. I’ll admit I was a little nervous looking down at the helipad from altitude, but Capt. Kirk deftly maneuvered the helicopter down and around the pier and set the aircraft down so gently, I didn’t realize that we had actually touched down. He was a great pilot and very knowledgeable of the area and pointed out local landmarks and famous items around us. If you’re in NY City, make it a point to find time to fly around Manhattan in a helicopter, and if he’s not on the bridge of the Enterprise, ask to fly with Capt. Kirk.

Alejandra Paula Mercado

Impecable, como siempre. Hablan español (salvo el piloto), son súper amables. Tienen buena onda. Y el vuelo está muy bueno. Lo hice 2 veces en diferentes épocas. Lo volvería hacer ahí.

Great experience . But watch how much your paying !

Fantastic experience. Every one have to try and see New York from the sky. A new way to see places and that impossible to see from the ground.

(Translated by Google) Run for the money, terrible noise nuisance for local residents: in the name of money and profitability, residents suffer 12 hours in a row from the deafening noise of helicopters, a plague for physical and mental health according to the inhabitants. Tourist transport vehicle to banish in view of nuisance. Moreover, the prices are exorbitant, the abuses seem numerous and the safety can not be totally ensured in these conditions: to note a fatal accident in 2018, related seems it to a motor problem, 5 young people thirty drowned drowned after the helicopter landed in the water, unable to escape from their harness, atrocious death in the East River. (Original) Course au fric, nuisances sonores épouvantables pour les riverains : au nom du fric et de la rentabilité, les riverains souffrent 12h d'affilée du bruit assourdissant des hélicoptères, un véritable fléau pour la santê physique et mentale d’après les habitants. Engin de transport touristique à bannir au vue des nuisances occasionnnées. De plus, les prix sont exorbitants, les abus semblent nombreux et la sécurité ne peut être totalement assurée dans ces conditions : à noter un accident mortel en 2018, lié semble t-il à un problème moteur, 5 jeunes trentenaires sont morts noyés après que l’hélico ait attéri dans l’eau, impossibilité de se dégager de leur harnais, mort atroce dans l’East river.

This tour is way overpriced for what it is. We were schedule to take off at 10:45, but we took off about 45 minutes later. The queue is long and the building is just too busy. The flight was pleasant but it definitely didn't warrant the hefty price tag $100 would suit this much better for a 15 minute flight. I am a private pilot and I could have rented a 4 seater aircraft at the same price for an HOUR, whereas this cost me $220 per PERSON for 15 minutes! Somehow the numbers just don't add up. Totally not worth the money.

Greg Harburn

I have never been on a helicopter and what a place to go on one. It's not that long but dont be put off it's the best way to see New York and was an experience I will never forget. The staff all the way truth were very friendly and professional felt like I was in great hands.

Maria Brightwell

I was adamant I wanted to view NY from a helicopter but after reading the impact of the many operators constantly flying over neighbourhoods and the horrendous and inescapable impact this is clearly having on innocent locals I have changed my mind completely. I will never take a helicopter tour over any city and will spread this message to others. Keep posting on review pages as I would never thought of your local perspective and your review made me change my mind.

Bethyamin van Nieuwenhuizen

Secure and nice experience! I would recommend the 15min trip...it is enought

Marc-Jürgen Sebode

Wer keine Lust hat sich in Schlangen für das Empire State Building oder das Top of the Rocks (Rockefeller Center) anzustellen, hat mit einem Helicopterflug eine tolle Alternative für Panoramabilder von New York. Ich selbst war erstaunt als ich am Heliport ankam, denn ich hatte 2-3 Hubschrauber erwartet die dort die Touren durchführen. Tatsächlich standen dort, mit laufendem Rotor, 9 Helis die gerade Passagiere aufnahmen, andere befanden sich sichtbar im Anflug. Weitere waren gerade auf Tour. Es hatte wirklich etwas von einem Bienenschwarm. Offensichtlich veranstalten dort mindestens 3 Firmen Ihre Sightseeinig Hubschrauberrundflüge. Alles war toll gut organisiert, auf Sicherheit wurde sehr stark geachtet und es ging pünktlich los. Der rote Hubschrauber von Liberty Helicopter nahm neben dem Piloten 6 Passagiere auf und der Flug dauerte 28 Minuten, es war aber auch die große Tour. Eine Runde über Gouvernors Island, um die Freiheitsstatue, den Hudson rauf am Financial District vorbei, dann bis zur George Washington Brücke über dem Hudson River. Dort die Wende und wieder zurück bis nach Jersey und dann Landeanflug auf den Heliport. Verständlicherweise hat der Spaß seinen Preis, der mit 215$ pP und einer Sicherheitsgebühr am Helicopter-Flughafen von 50$ pP zu Buche schlägt. Ich würde dies jederzeit wieder buchen.

El más económico después de todas las comparaciones. El proceso de la reserva sin ningún problema, te contestan al correo electrónico muy rápido, el tiempo de espera en el helipuerto muy corto, el viaje excelente y en la parte trasera quizás un poco apretados, fuimos 6 personas + piloto y quizás hubiera sido más cómodo 4 personas + piloto, pero bueno no eso no quitó que fuera una buena experiencia con unas magníficas vistas.

Fantastisk oplevelse med en helicoptertur over New York.... Det er en dyr fornøjelse, koster mellem 1000-1500 kroner for en tur, men hvilken fantastisk oplevelse... Turen tog cirka 13 minutter fra start til Landing, men en fantastisk udsigt man får over hele Manhatten... Absolut en noget man skal prøve. God sikkerhed og god opmærksomhed på at man får gjort tingene rigtigt.

Awesome experience of helicopter ride over amazing new York city. It's heavenly experience. One should not miss out an opportunity to see Arial view of city, you will forget empire state building view.

You are complete liars that you fly only over the river..you- because daddy has deep pockets, are held accountable for zip, adrenaline and ever other criminal tour company that flys over people's home 600 times a day. Live it up now while deblasio is in office because as soon as he's gone...so are you.

David Ogden

We took this flight, to really appreciate the NYC skyline. I pre-booked, thinking it best (it was); but we were over an hour late; the staff accommodated us well, but we found that even if we had been on time our wait in the queue would still have been an hour or so. The opposition (who was fractionally more $$ wise, did not have the same wait time); never the less the flight was very enjoyable, and a must do for any NYC visit. The helicopter; the pilot was knowledgeable (as you would expect) however the helo was crammed (center seating does not allow for great photo opportunities!!! A selling point of the opposition was exactly that; all seats have good photo opportunities. So, my recommendation? Take a flight, it is a must; but, think about spending a few extra $$ to enjoy it a little more; be aware of the wait time (on week days over an hour).

Ron Bousso

Disappointing experience given we paid so much money.... the crew refused to take our picture with our own cameras on the helipad but only with theirs. When we got off the helicopter they offered to sell a hard copy for $27 and wouldn’t even email a digital copy. I’d think that for such an expensive experience, they could at least be generous and courteous on such trifles.

Simon Golding

Signs aren't amazingly clear, but the staff were very friendly and the experience as a whole was great. Pilot was fun and friendly, view was awesome. It did seem pretty quick, but I'm pretty sure that's always going to be the case, and the price was very reasonable so no complaints really. Be aware there is a heliport fee of about $50 usd on the day on top of the booking cost. This isn't charged by the company, but the cost corporate first gherkin facility itself

Jesus Garcia Movellan

Alucinante!!!!! Visita obligatoria en tu viaje a NY

Sam Smith

We visited last week on one of the windiest days I have seen! We were worried that the flight would not go ahead and did experience a delay but that was understandable and you can't chose the weather! I had reservations about the view and how good it would be but I must say I thought it was amazing. We went up many buildings and did a lot whilst in New York but nothing shows you Manhattan and the surrounding area like a Helicopter ride! The pilot was fantastic in the high winds and provided as smooth a ride as possible, along with a steady landing. We bought a photo that they took at the beginning of the ride which was about £20 - I don't like paying for these things but if you want the photo what choice do you have! It's the same at all places though so wouldn't mark down for that. Just a bit annoying that my phone has a better camera than the one they used for the photo! Helicopter rides are expensive but in my view it's a unique experience and one to remember.

Excelente experiencia. Es breve pero vale la pena!

Felix Carty

This place is a complete joke. My girlfriend and I had a reservation set for 3:30pm and arrived at 3pm for check in, as stated on our receipt. Upon arriving, the ticket lady informed us that there will be a 20 min delay due to 2 of the 4 helicopters being out for maintenance. After waiting 40 mins, someone from inside came out and informed us that it is now an additional hour delay. We waited our additional hour and we were now at the front of the line. The ticket lady comes by again and now informs us that we won't be able to go on the helicopter until 5:30-5:45. Furious and annoyed from standing in the sun for 2 and a half hours, we request a refund. Of course they were unable to give a refund, we have to now email the main office to request a refund that will take 3-5 business days. We were offered to board a helicopter for a sister company, but that would require us to pay a separate $300+. Seriously?! How can one run a business like this. If you're aware of an issue, be courteous to your customers and inform them of said issues. Don't play the waiting game. I will never book anything with this company again and will inform everyone of this experience.

Matt Grant

Our pilot was awesome and super friendly. Lots of great info. Got to ride shotgun!

Leigh Watkins

A great experience and way to see New York

Michael Dubowsky

I can certainly believe these tours are very exciting and fun - in fact, probably the pinnacle of one's visit to NYC in some senses - and I don't doubt that safety precautions are being followed within the helicopter, though I believe the sheer number of tours being run simultaneously presents a true danger to those riding and those below the flight path. Moreover, though, what you don't see, and what I implore you to consider, is the children crying and shuddering on the ground near the Hudson River as these extremely loud helicopters relentlessly pass over, 10-seconds apart, for 10 hours per day Monday through Saturday and 8 hours per day on Sunday, including all holidays. I tell people I know that if they want a free daily re-enactment of the Battle of Normandy, air version, they can come here. Even Germany's World War II Air Force couldn't hold a candle to the production these guys produce. I can describe the experience of my home being flown over 600 times a day, with windows shaking and noise penetrating every corner of my home, as traumatic, and the operation as pure evil, a dystopian expression of the dominance of corporate greed over people's health and sanity. Horrific is truly a word I use from the bottom of my heart to describe this. It's so bad that when a rainy day comes, I thank God, and I cannot even be in my home between the operating hours because there's not a single moment of silence. If I go to your country, I pledge never to take a helicopter tour. Please, please, please, please do not feed this horrific business. To those reading this at Liberty - you may hold the upper hand now, but sooner or later, we will ground your operation. Your failure to try to compromise with those being affected and overall denial of the severity of the situation shows you have no conscience.

Amazing tour, don't miss it!

Alessandro Kremers

Ik had online twee tickets gekocht op de website en had al snel een bevestiging dat ging uitstekend. Maar dan, op de website wordt aangegeven dat bij de aankoop $40 heliport belasting wordt toegevoegd per persoon bij de aankoop op de website, de kosten waren $179 per persoon, ik heb $448 betaald. Na aankomst bij de heliport wordt er alsnog $40 dollar per persoon gevraagd ondanks dat ik heb aangetoond dat ik deze al betaald heb. Ook de manager van de tour operator weigert te helpen en toe te geven dat ik gelijk heb. Mijn ervaring in de Verenigde Staten is dat medewerkers het beleid of regels van de algemene voorwaarden op de aangeboden websites niet naleven, hou daar rekening mee! Het was erg jammer dat ik na een eindeloze discussie met de verantwoordelijke met frustratie de helicopter instapte, dat heeft de ervaring gedeeltelijk verziekt. Desondanks heeft de piloot erg de moeite genomen om er een onvergetelijke helicopter tour van te maken.

Morlando Music

I just want to take a moment to praise the whole team. We took the tour as a party of 4, myself and wife along with our two children. One is only 16 months old and we wouldn't have taken him if we had another option. Anyway, as soon as the life vest was placed on the baby, he decided to have a real tantrum but the staff were brilliant, they gave us as much time as we needed to settle the little one and we're generally amazing all round. When we finally settled him, they got us on another tour within 30 minutes, giving our 7 year old daughter prime seat next to the pilot, who was also was spot on! If you're contemplating doing this, I would highly recommend it. Thank you to everybody at the pier yesterday, we all had an amazing helicopter tour!

Yannick Bauthière

(Translated by Google) Great experience! The price is high, but well worth it. You go around all of Manhattan with a great view of the Statue of Liberty, skyscrapers, Brooklyn ... Only downside: even after booking and arriving on time have to wait. (Original) Superbe expérience ! Le prix est élevé, mais cela en vaut vraiment la peine. Vous contournez tout Manhattan avec une superbe vue sur la Statue de la Liberté, les gratte-ciel, Brooklyn... Seul bémol : même en ayant réservé et en arrivant à l'heure il faut attendre.

Josie P.

I took my daughter for her 14th Birthday and we enjoy it so much. You get to see the city almost completely especially the Hudson side. The whole helicopter ride was for 15 minutes but it really felt longer than 15 minutes. The pilot was very informative and great! The staff was superb that they actually let my daughter sit in the front next to the pilot. It was worth every penny. I really recommend this place.

(Translated by Google) The tour has been really great fun and the pilot has also explained a bit during the flight. Unfortunately the floor was very unfriendly. (Original) Der Rundflug hat echt riesig Spaß gemacht und der Pilot hat auch während des Fluges ein wenig erklärt. Leider war die Bodencrew sehr unfreundlich.

(Translated by Google) I just got back from N. York and flying over it by helicopter was, without a doubt, my best experience. See Manhattan, the Island of Freedom etc from the air was very worth it. We bought the 15-meter flight that flew by us, never better. I knew little, but it's a great experience. I did buy the photo, the helicopter more than anything. The flight cost 205 euros / pax +40 euros that you had to pay at the heliport + 20 the photo. Sorry, nooo euros, but dollars. It is not cheap, but it is a pleasant experience from my point of view and they supervised and helped us at all times. - (Original) Acabo de regresar de N. York y sobrevolarla en helicóptero fue, sin duda, mi mejor experiencia. Ver Manhattan, la Isla de la Libertad etc desde el aire valió mucho la pena. Compramos el vuelo de 15 mtos que se nos pasó volando, nunca mejor dicho. Me supo a poco, pero es una gran experiencia. Yo sí compré la, foto, por el helicóptero más que nada. El vuelo costó 205 euros/pax +40 euros que tenías que pagar en el helipuerto + 20 la foto. Perdón, nooo euros, sino dólares. No es barato, pero es una grata experiencia bajo mi punto de vista y nos supervisaron y ayudaron en todo momento. -

(Translated by Google) The experience is fantastic, the views are impressive, the pilots expert and pleasant, but the value for money, taking into account the 40 euros per pax that you have to pay fees, apart from the price of the activity, is not adjusted. It is very little time for such an expensive activity. (Original) La experiencia es fantástica, las vistas impresionantes, los pilotos expertos y agradables, pero la relación calidad precio, teniendo en cuenta los 40 euros por pax que hay que pagar de tasas, aparte del precio de la actividad, no está ajustada. Es muy poco tiempo para una actividad tan cara.

The booking proces on the website was easy and clear. We were welcomed in a friendly and professional way. The tour itself was amazing! The pilot was informative and told many details about the places we flew over.

Stephen Flury

Number one helicopter tour and charter company hands down

Howard Pipkin

I booked a 15 minute tour with this company and paid a lot of money. Once booked I was told I would have to pay another $35 each for security checks. So we arrived a lady waved a wand over me and half looked in my bag. Then upon entering the building $2 for a locker for the security checked bag. It wouldn't fit in s locker so $2 for putting behind counter. We were then delayed 45 minutes while the marines practiced landing the presidents helicopter now that was impressive. (Not the company's fault) this put them behind. Our 15 minute trip was actually 13 minutes in the air, the pilot spoke to his mates about "its my thing". The most disappointing part of my trip. Feel totally ripped off. DONT USE THIS COMPANY.

Safe, friendly, unrushed and offering the best views of the five boroughs you are ever likely to get. Simple as that.

(Translated by Google) A blast! If there is fear the helicopter is to be missed !! I do not put 5 stars for the simple reason that goes around the island as would any cruise ... I was hoping to go in the middle of skyscrapers. You can make unique photos, from this height can capture NY in all its beauty and majesty. If you purchased the helicopter tour online through go select pass, always keep in mind that once you get there ask others (if I remember correctly) $ 75 taxes. (Original) Uno sballo! Se non vi fa paura l'elicottero, è da provare assolutamente!! Non metto 5 stelle per il semplice fatto che gira intorno l'isola come farebbe qualsiasi crociera... io speravo di passare in mezzo ai grattacieli. Si possono fare foto uniche, da questa altezza di può immortalare NY in tutta la sua bellezza e possenza. Se avete acquistato il tour in elicottero online tramite il go select pass, tenete sempre presente che una volta arrivati vi chiederanno altri (se non erro) 75$ di tasse.

A perfect experience!

(Translated by Google) I was in doubt about the Helicopter ride on my trip to NEW YORK - NY. I just hired this helicopter company and I LOVED it! I found the company very organized and certainly will be an unforgettable experience in my whole life. Not to mention the beautiful view of the city and the many souvenir photos. Well worth it and the cost - benefit is good too. I recommend to anyone who is in doubt. Buy your tour soon and enjoy it to the fullest! (Original) Estava na dúvida sobre passeio de Helicóptero em minha viagem à NEW YORK - NY. Acabei contratando essa empresa de helicóptero e ADOREI! Achei a empresa muito organizado e certamente será uma experiência inesquecível em toda a vida. Sem contar a vista linda da cidade e as muitas fotos de recordação. Vale muito a pena e o custo - benefício é bom também. Recomendo a quem está na dúvida. Compre logo o seu passeio e desfrute ao máximo.!

Enjoyable experience

Jerry Eisenband

For my grandpa's B Day I wanted to do something special for him. He had never taken a helicopter ride before, much less, seen NYC's amazing skyline from the air, so enter the best of the best when it comes to sightseeing in NYC - Liberty Helicopters. Staff was so professional and accommodating to the 96 year old man. The pilot was extremely knowledgeable as a tour guide providing fun facts, as well as the history of NYC. This 15 minute tour blew my grandpa away! He was so grateful and told me it was something he would hold dear with him everyday. Thanks Liberty for making this old codger's dream come true!

Jean-Christophe MIOT

(Translated by Google) If you have the opportunity to fly over NY by helicopter go there. It's really worth it, it's expensive but we take full eyes. (Original) Si vous avez l'occasion de survoler NY en hélico allez y. Ça vaut vraiment le coup, c'est cher mais on en prend plein les yeux.

Best ride ever- The staff were so helpful. I forgot my sunglasses after the ride and a gentleman Quentin went and found them for me- Friendliest team of people I met in NYC

Fernando Abraham

(Translated by Google) Not worth it. not seen anything, nor enjoy. Only happens aside for the statue. And when I say happens it is that neither stops to take a picture (Original) No vale la pena. No se aprecia nada de nada, ni tampoco se disfruta. Solo pasa de lado por la estatua. Y cuando digo pasa es que ni se detiene para tomar una foto

Booked a flight online before we returned to the Big Apple. Easy to book and arrange for the time we wanted. Easy check in and pre flight communications. Pilot was great along with the ground staff. Really enjoyable experience and would do again and highly recommend. Thanks all at Liberty Helicopter.

Ky Anh Pham

Great experience that I had in NYC. You can fly up but still close enough to see the city from above. The weather in NYC is quite unpredictable, so wish you a good luck on that. Wanna try the nighr flight also and I think it would be more attractive and a big scene for your eyes. Have fun!

Lachlan McGregor

What a great experience, truly one of a kind!

As usual, the best sights are from the air! Etched eternally in your memory.

Alexander Fischer

(Translated by Google) Discovering New York from the air is unique and phenomenal! I would not do it more often than once. 188.- Euro + 40 Euro Heligebühr is a lot of money. Especially if the flight is over after about 13 minutes. And you should also know that the helicopters are not allowed to drive over the city! (Original) New York aus der Luft aus entdecken ist einzigartig und phänomenal! Öfter wie einmal würde ich es allerdings nicht tun. 188.- Euro + 40 Euro Heligebühr ist sehr viel Geld. Vor allem, wenn der Flug nach ca. 13 Minuten vorbei ist. Und man sollte auch wissen, dass die Helikopter nicht über die Stadt fahren dürfen!

Javier Sastre

Really amazing! A bit short flight, but it’s worth. Enjoy!

Helicopter rides are overrated

Fergus Kenneally-Miles

What an amazing experience, first time helicopter ride and ai cannot wait to do it again. Staff were courteous and very experienced in everything.

Heather Surla

Our family of 4 did the private 20 minute tour at about a 1500 price tag. Totally. Worth. It. 12yo in the front left seat, my husband back left, 10yo back right and me back center. Everyone could see just fine. The wait was probably an hour and we ended up getting dropped off at a different location than we expected. Who cares? After a quick tour of Coney Island and SoL, our very skilled and professional former Marine pilot took us right over the city. Jaw-dropping, amazing. It was the highlight of our vacation, and we did top of Liberty, Bridge seats at the Garden, the Philharmonic and opening night of Beetlejuice. Go, just go. Be flexible— and cross your fingers that Q chats you up in the waiting room. PS they were filming a movie during our departure. Fun day!!

A company that has numerous operating shortcomings versus realistic safety measures. Be weary when doing business with this organization, I would strongly advise against it.

Sehr kompetent. Ich habe bereits einige Wochen vor der Reise nach New York online gebucht. Alles hat gut geklappt. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Karin Merl-Eckert

(Translated by Google) My daughter and I wanted to enjoy this flight to their 30th birthday. After we waited 2.5 hours, and were put off time and again that it will take another 20 minutes until we turn, we have reclaimed our money and leave the waiting room angry and very sad. It would have been helpful if would have given an honest information about the actual waiting time by the staff. Never again! (Original) Meine Tochter und ich wollten diesen Flug zu ihrem 30.Geburtstag genießen. Nachdem wir 2,5 Stunden gewartet haben und immer wieder vertröstet wurden, dass es nochmal 20 Minuten dauert, bis wir an der Reihe sind, haben wir unser Geld zurückverlangt und den Warteraum verärgert und sehr traurig verlassen. Es wäre hilfreich gewesen, wenn uns das Personal eine ehrliche Auskunft über die tatsächliche Wartezeit gegeben hätte. Nie wieder!

Expansive

Jens Lindner

(Translated by Google) Very long wait despite payment in Germany. Unfriendly staff. The pilot was very friendly. 15 minutes took the flight. I had promised more of that. Value for money is not right for me and then additional security fees. Money away. (Original) Sehr lange Wartezeit trotz Bezahlung in Deutschland. Unfreundliches Personal. Der Pilot war sehr freundlich. 15 Minuten hat der Rundflug gedauert. Hatte mir mehr davon versprochen. Preis Leistungsverhältnis stimmt für mich überhaupt nicht und dann noch zusätzliche Sicherungsgebüren. Geld weg.

Hugo Maidozlian

(Translated by Google) Home really top, the prices are reasonable and the number of helicopters can not have too much waiting time, it is a must-see attraction in New York! An unforgettable experience (Original) Acceuil vraiment top, les prix sont raisonnables et le nombre d'hélicopters permet de ne pas avoir un trop long temps d'attente, c'est une attraction incontournable à New york! Une expérience inoubliable

Mark .

Surprise trip for my wife on our 5th anniversary, the views were fantastic and the pilot did a fantastic job pointing out the obvious and the obscure. Don't be put off by the price, worth every penny. Happy wife = Happy life

paolo belletti

Bellissima gita in elicottero intorno alla Statua della Liberta' e su Manhattan, un tour indimenticabile!!!!

H. Bouchahine

Best ride over best city ever...

Jack Tsin

Too pricey

JACK MORE

Just one word horrible

Jason Brown

A little pricey but well worth it. We took the 15 minute tour but it felt much longer. There were 6 people in the helicopter, 4 in the back and 2 in the front. Front seats were excellent and I definitly would not have been happy in the back middle. We had an 11:45 appointment but arrived early around 11 and was in the air around 11:30. Definitly reccomend to everyone as it will give a view of NYC and NJ you can only get from a helicopter. Pilot/Crew/Staff were all professional and kind.
