Traveler reviews
Hélicoptère new york
A wonderful experience with great guides and an incredible view of New York City! The check-in process was fairly quick, and there were five of us in the helicopter. The atmosphere was great, and everything went smoothly. I highly recommend this experience!
Dreams come true
Dreams do come true. Thanks to HeliNY got the experience of a lifetime 🚁
Good
It was a very good and beautiful tour. I took the 8:30 pm tour and the skyline was amazing. The pilot Eddie was also incredible and good at telling about the different things we were seeing throughout the tour.
For the price U pay in...
For the price U pay in advance it should be @ least 45 min. Or if U change ur Helipad location they reduce it by 10 min and its not fair @ all
Extremely disappointing experience
Our experience with HeliNY Sightseeing was extremely disappointing. The customer service was terrible from start to finish. The staff were rude, disrespectful, and treated us as if we didn’t matter. Instead of helping us, they completely dismissed our concerns and refused to resolve the issue. Our ticket clearly stated that we needed to arrive at 3:00 PM. We followed those instructions exactly and, in fact, arrived even earlier than required. Despite this, the staff wrongly insisted that we were late and completely ignored what was clearly written on our own ticket. To make matters worse, they tried to charge us an additional fee that was never disclosed at the time of booking and was not mentioned anywhere on our ticket. We felt that they were trying to take advantage of the situation instead of providing honest and respectful customer service. The entire experience was extremely unprofessional, disrespectful, and unacceptable. We do not recommend HeliNY Sightseeing to anyone. If you value respectful treatment, transparency, and professionalism, we strongly recommend choosing another company. It is remarkable that you continue insisting on blaming the customer while completely ignoring the fact that our voucher clearly stated that we were supposed to arrive at 3:00 PM. That is exactly the information we followed, and we arrived before that time. If an email sent just a few hours before the activity contained instructions that contradicted the voucher, that reflects a failure in your company’s communication. Customers should not receive conflicting instructions and then be blamed for following the information provided on their reservation. Furthermore, your response continues to ignore the main reason for our review: the way we were treated in person. At no point were we treated with respect, nor was there any genuine attempt to resolve the situation. Instead, we were met with rudeness, and now your company continues to publicly place the blame on us. Our review is not based solely on the timing issue—it reflects our entire experience. We expected professionalism, respect, and a willingness to resolve the situation. Unfortunately, we experienced the exact opposite.
