This helicopter tour was absolutely amazing. The flight was smooth, and I got incredible aerial views of the Statue of Liberty, Manhattan skyline and the river. The pilot and staff were professional. It is a fantastic and unique way to explore New York. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
I had a great experience with my wife , the staff member were very professional and friendly 👍🏾👍🏾 two thumbs up
Amazing experience. We had an excelent preparation and the crew were giving us all the explanations before and during the flight.
Well run fantastic trip.you can't help but enjoy this. If you're in new york definitely do this tour.
Amazing must do experience. Worth every penny. 5 stars. Pilot was great.
My experience with Charm Aviation would never be recommended especially with that rude front desk agent I would NEVER EVER RECOMMEND CHARM TO ANYONE!!!
It was the most exciting thing I've ever done in my life!! My pilot was so kind and informative about the landmarks in Manhattan.
The ride is a good experience but the staff is rude and non courteous. They seem very rushed and don’t understand that this may be the 1st experience for many people.
Once I was confirmed on a flight ( got bumped up a couple of times)- it was truly an amazing experience
The experience was great ,the pilot was detailed, told us about the areas around the ride, he was really nice ,the whole crew was nice ,from the moment we got there to the moment we left.
Wow!! We will never forget our helicopter fight over Manhattan. Not cheap but worth every cent. Highly recommended as a once in a lifetime experience. The operator was organised, communicated well & made us feel very safe.
Good communication , perfect flight lots of memories
A very fun experience. A must to do on your bucket list.
I don't regret taking this tour; the guide was really nice guy. I had fun and end the staff is very good
The tour was better than we expected. We had an amazing time seeing the great city from up above.
The most incredible thing I’ve ever done in my life. The pilot was fantastic. Perfect knowledge and really personable with all of us. Really reassuring about potential turbulence and talked us through every action he did. 10/10. Couldn’t recommend this enough
A truly amazing experience and such a unique way to see NYC. I highly recommend adding this to your bucket list.
Everything went smoothly, everyone was professional. The facility clean. The pilot made the experience very enjoyable.
There is no doubt that it is an amazing experience, the views are incredible. However, it is expensive for what it is, after you pay the extra tax on the day, it makes it pricey. We had 12 minutes maximum in the air, a bit disappointing.
Pilot was friendly and knowledgeable. The tour provides an eye-opening perspective on the layout of the city and surrounds. Generally, very enjoyable. However, I am informed that the view from the front of the helicopter (where I was) is significantly better than the view from the back (where my kids were situated).
Get to see all the important highlights of the NYC skyline in a 15 minute helicopter ride. The helicopter pilot pointed out all the buildings of interest.
The experience was wonderful, pilot very competent and friendly. Location very easy to find. We would certainly recommend this experience
I arrived kinda late but on time due to traffic. The pilot was nice, love his pilot stories. It was short but amazing . It was niece birthday and she had a blast. . Wish I could take more pictures. Not being rush to get in and out because the trip was really short.
Not all helicopters rides are created equals. I made the right choice among a lot of carriers at the flight terminal.
It was very Friendly stuff, they are explaining everything, helping, pilot was great Good experience
It was a splendid experience and the pilot was really nice. I had an awesome time! I’ll surely recommend to friends!
Very easy with booking, and very friendly in communication and once you’re on the heliport! Pilot was amazing with his information!
It was less than 10 minutes although it’s supposed to be 20 minutes. Also, they charge me $40 but on Viator it never mentioned about this payment. It was very poorly organized and I was extra charged. I’m kindly asking to provide me a refund.
Tour was a lot of fun! Great way to see the city & all the landmarks. Of course it could have been longer, but I think I'd be saying that no matter how long the flight was.
A lovely sunny winters day, This was a 70th birthday present off my Wife, I love anything aviation so for me Perfect, I would highly recommend this trip, it was well managed & very professional, you get to see all the sights from the air.
I would highly recommend booking this helicopter ride, it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. The staff were so friendly and helpful. It was amazing to see NYC from the sky.
Charm Aviation was great! low wait time and great flight. nice equipment and very courteous and safety oriented crew members
If this is your first time go for it this was mines and my significant others first time and we loved it we’ve been on planes but never an helicopter what a thrill
Everything was perfect! Check-in was smooth. Staff was friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our helicopter ride, which is why this review is 5 stars. However, there was a $40 fee PER PERSON for booking through Viator which was unfortunate and not made clear prior to our helicopter ride. Thought I saved booking through them but the tour company made it all back with the fee.
Frank the pilote was awsome he told us about every place we passed and he was so funny i fully recommend
Took my wife on a ride around NYC for her birthday and we had the greatest experience ! The pilot and staff were excellent and we 100 % recommend trying this ! 10/10 💫
Great.First time flying on an helicopter and couldn’t be a better place to fly above than NY city.Our pilot Frank was 10/10
This was my daughter’s college graduation trip and she was slightly terrified of flying in a helicopter but they seated her next to the pilot and she absolutely loved it!!! Great crew!!
The experience was worth it. Got to see Manhattan skyline and took fantastic pictures. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Really good got to see a lot in 15 mins. As we booked through Viator we were made to feel a bit stigmatised like we had done something wrong. We also got hit with another 40 dollars per person on arrival but other than that it was great.
Viator made this so easy and fun! All waivers can be filled out early online so check in goes quickly and smoothly. Staff are all friendly and helpful. One thing to note is that you will need to put hats, scarves, and bags into a locker.
The view from 1500ft is amazing..!! Expertly piloted by Frank. Ground staff were professional and executed our experience perfectly. Thank you!
Excellent the best excursion in New York unbelievable amazing day amazing stuff see you soon bye bye
The most incredible experience! We went for a sunset flight and it was the best trip ever. The staff were all so lovely and friendly.
Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Efficient system. Pilot was fabulous. It made some fantastic memories
Very well organised. This was a trip for my daughter's 18th birthday. There were just the two of us and we shared with another couple, so we all had window seats. I think it would have been a bit cramped if there were 6 of you. Great commentary from the pilot, as we went up the Hudson River & passed the Statue of Liberty. However, no sooner are you up, then you're back down again....12min is not that long at all, but you get to see all the main sights. We had a great clear day, which made it a whole lot better. Disappointed that the photo taken by the helicopter was 35 dollars, hence, I didn't purchase it.
Amazing views of Statue of Liberty & NYC skyline with good guide. Smooth ride and perfect amount of time.
The ride was very smooth. I would recommend for first timers as it’s quick and easy to get to. You can record your entire ride on your phone if you want to.
Booked months ahead but due to expected bad weather the flight was cancelled 2 days before. Rebooked easily. Very efficient. Very friendly staff. Good commentary. Would highly recommend.
