Tourcorp themselves very efficient and website clear. we booked Liberty Helicopters, although the actual flight was a good experience the customer service communication from Liberty Helicopters while waiting for our flight was poor and the offices we were left waiting in could be a lot more customer friendly.

Unforgettable.

Alejandro J. A., Spain, 10-2008

Highlight of our first trip to NYC !

Matthew L., United Kingdom, 10-2008

There was 5 of us on this trip and it exceeded our expectations it was fantastic and we would say it is a must if you go to New York and I would do it again in a minute.

Carol R., United Kingdom, 10-2008

Great impressions of NYC from a bird´s view. Especially when turning at the statue of liberty and flying back straight on Manhattan Downtown. Another highlight is to leave the Hudson River to fly across Harlem and/or the Bronx including the Yankee´s stadium.

Manuela G., Germany, 09-2008

Once in the helicopter the tour was good, we got to see all of the major sights of Manhattan from a birds eye view and the pilot was informative.

Nikki T., United Kingdom, 09-2008

It was really an exciting experience! The best way to enjoy the skyline of Manhattan

Andrea T., Italy, 09-2008

It was awesome.

Gregory B., Luxembourg, 09-2008

Flying with the helicopter over Manhattan was a great experience which I recommend for every NYC visitor that has a little bit of extra money!

Michael F., United States, 09-2008

Excellent and surprising activity to do in NY

Elisabet M., Spain, 08-2008

Gudrun E., Austria, 07-2008

It was nice to see the skyline of Manhattan from the view in the helicopter. also the typical sightseeing points (ground zero, empire state building, statue of Liberty etc.)

Stefan S., Germany, 07-2008

Andy G., United States, 06-2008

I enjoyed it - it was great fun

Silvia V., Austria, 06-2008

Helicopter tour was a great experience and would recommend it to anybody going to NYC. The booking process was good and there were no issues here. The staff at site were extremely unhelpful. We (two of us) arrived 40 mins before our booking time of 1600hrs but didn't get on the tour until 1705hrs as a group had arrived (unbooked) and they prioritized them instead of us, who had booked. When we questioned this the staff told us we could come back another time...we were there from the UK potentially for the only time in our lives! The staff seemed unconcerned and told us we had no other option even though a helicopter was taking off every 5 minutes with the huge unexpected group.

Graham C., United Kingdom, 06-2008

The Big Apple Tour was excellent value and all staff were friendly, courteous and very helpful. Although a misty day, we had an excellent flight and it was a wonderful way to see "The Lady" as they called her and the amazing Manhattan skyline. I would do it again .

Mary S., United Kingdom, 05-2008

It has been very interesting and really it is worth enough for its price. The only problem is that the helicopter company does not cover the schedules and make people to wait a lot.

Daniel V., Spain, 05-2008

The tour is quite expensive but the experience is unique and the staff very professional

Philippe G., France, 05-2008

It is a great activity and we enjoyed it a lot but people should be aware that on site they ask you for supplement (25$/pers)

Fernandez V., Belgium, 05-2008

An excellent flight and the staff offered to change the day over the phone on our original day as the weather was poor. They even arranged for my son to sit up front with the pilot as i had requested when i booked on line. A top part of our visit to New York! Many thanks. Phil.

Philip G., United Kingdom, 04-2008

IF THERE WAS ONE WAY TO SEE NEW YORK THEN THIS IS IT....WE HAD AN AMAZING TIME ONLY 12 MINUTES BUT IT WAS WELL WORTH IT AND I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYWAY.

kevin l., United Kingdom, 12-2007

Großartige Aussicht

Andreas B., Germany, 12-2007

Lars H., Germany, 12-2007

very friendly staff, pilot´s comments and attitude during helicopter tour were absolutely great. we really enjoyed this trip.

Danka B., Czech Republic, 12-2007

Except the weather everything was fine. We made this tour for the second time and when we'll be the next time in NY (we're from Germany)we probably will make this tour again.

Wolfgang S., Germany, 11-2007

Great

Denis C., Spain, 11-2007

Excellent helicopter flight - helped by the clear blue skies and good visibility. Watch out for the extra charge for flying from the 12th Avenue heliport. Worth every cent, but don't let the ignorant telephone manner of the office staff and rudeness of the pre-flight search personnel upset you, the rest of the crew are highly professional.

Chris U., United Kingdom, 10-2007

the tour was wonderful and the views were breathtaking, we would recommend it to anyone

JOHN S., United Kingdom, 07-2007

VERY NICE EXPERIENCE

Lluis P., Spain, 04-2007

Great service, friendly staff, unforgettable heli ride!
