Traveler reviews
Amazing!!!!! Engraved for life!!!!!
Oh my god what an experience!!!! It started rather badly because during the flight a passenger unfortunately vomited and being 4 passengers it really ruined our experience except that the team staged it and especially the director wanted to rebook us on the next flight which was much better!!! They were absolutely adorable and also offered us bottles of water, souvenir photos and transfer to the station ... in short a huge THANK YOU to the whole team because thanks to them we keep a wonderful memory we had full eyes and we go to bed grateful for this magnificent experience! A few tips: the place is really far from Manhattan so remember to leave very early and especially book a night flight because the lights and the view are breathtaking!!!! Xoxo
Magical experience
Wow..what about a magnificent experience and a team with a huge kindness that knows how to put at ease. I thank very much the driver who accompanied us between the linden station and the office on the way and back it was an incredible kindness, the team of the office as well and the pilot who explained the place etc it was incredible thank you very much.
Best experience
It was just great! The view is a dream! The whole team of the Heliny is super friendly. 10/10
Nervous & Exciting
It’s an outstanding tour. Be strategic in how you do it though because most of the tours go up no later than 7:00pm so if you want to see the skyline at night you have to book a tour from November - January.
Nice tour
That was good! The price is a bit on the high side.
