We used HeliNY. The flight was great and the scenery beautiful. We felt very safe and everyone on the ground was professional. Our complaint was that the pilot did not point out many sites. It was not a real tour and mostly just look and se..e. I would have preferred a more talkative pilot that gives a real tour!! Read full review
Took a flight with Helicopter services it was amazing. Good pilot, pointing out all the sights and took us right over the top of Yankee Stadium. An expensive 25 minutes or so but well worth the money as a special treat.
94% THIS IS THE ONLY HELICOPTER COMPANY YOU SHOULD BE FLYING WITH

This is the second time we had the opportunity to use HeliNY.com and it was once again the best experience we had.... They were efficient upon arrival to the clock tower building where their representatives will meet and greet you. The info..rmations counter could not be more helpful in taking their time in explaining and answering any questions you or your party may have for the first time flyer. The personnel is pleasant and attentive to the needs of special guests and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that they are comfortable. I would recommend this company as the only company you should use if you a looking to see the skyline of New York or take a tour. Ground crew as well as the pilots could not be more accomadating in their response to any of the questions before and during the flights. Helicopters are comfortable. Read full review
The flight with heliny was overall very good and we enjoyed it very much. The location of the heliport could easily be found. We "checked inn" and were guided by the ground team. The process was not organized very well and a bit confusing b..ut at the end it was okay. We had to watch a securtiy clips and then we were ready for the flight.
The flight was for the 18-20 minutes tour. Altough the sight was not very good we could see enough to be very impressed. The pilot gave explanations what could be seen.
We felt were safe and the helicopter was very good.Read full review
From the booking to the flight everything was really good. We didn't have to hang around long before we were put on a flight. My husband was lucky enough to land a seat next to the pilot which was fab as it was his birthday. If you do nothi..ng else in NY do this. The views are twice as amazing as from the Empire State and you really get a true sense of the scale of the buildings in NY and of course fantastic views of the Statue of Liberty etc. The helicopter was very comfortable and modern and the pilot very informative. Definitely recommend this company. Read full review
Having pre-booked a 15min trip following our NY wedding we received excellent service and a free upgrade to a 20min flight. As expected the views of Manhatten were excellent and our guide/pilot was informative and friendly. Recommended.

The itinerary is great, except the CN tower. You can skip this and the IMAX Theatre experience. The tour guide walks too fast not giving consideration to older people who are having a hard time catching up with her. We wasted a lot of time ..at the border patrol offices because of some people who do not have proper documentation. The tour company should check the documents before leaving for the tour. Altogether, no regrets at having joined this tour. My family had a great time except for these minor hiccups.Read full review

I'm not usually into tours or speed sightseeing, but I only had the one day in NYC. This tour fit my schedule perfectly and I got to see so much of NYC in just one day. I recommend the tour to everyone. The price was reasonable and the ride.. wasn't too bumpy.Read full review

It was a very fun trip. i traveled with 5 of my friends and we all enjoyed it.. The guide had a good sense of humor and quite knowledgeable. Accommodation was very close to Niagara falls (within walking distance) and it was at a very popula..r chain of hotels. I had little problem getting comfortable sitting on the bus but my friends had no trouble. Well you cant really complain for the price of the tickets. To sum up the whole trip it was fun and affordable. Read full review
I purchased the tickets for my Mom and myself, as we are both big fans of the show! Before we got on the bus, we even got to meet the actor who played Vito!!! Our tour guide, whose name escapes me at this moment, was extremely knowledgable,.. charismatic and fun!!! I loved the trivia questions and funny little prizes that a correct answer got! The tour was great, and we had more fun than I imagined we would!!! All in all, it was a great day, and I would recommend the Soprano's Sites Tour to anyone who enjoyed the show!!! FANTASTIC!!! :)Read full review
I went with my mom, and I am really not a fan of touristic tours.. But this one was very Nice, our tour guide Lindsey was great! She knew The city, The show and other curous facts tôo! We loved it! She recomended some places and it was aws..ome too! Defenitley will come back!Read full review
My husband and I (both 25) really enjoyed this tour. It was great fun. What a fabulous way to see such an exciting city and we found it to be the most enjoyable tour we did. IF you are going to take a bus round the city why not do this and ..learn about film locations as well as seeing the city!!! The tour guide Brian was very knowledgeable and could answer any question that was fired at him. He was fun and very helpful (taking photos for us etc). The location we went to were relevant to our interests and we loved the you could watch the dvd clips on the coach before seeing the real thing. Excellent Tour!Read full review
The tour was so so so fun! We went to pretty much every outdoor location of the show. Our guide was fantastic and played lots of video clips that related to the place we were about to see. It would have been nice if we could have gotten out.. at the fountain but it was freezing cold on the day so probably wasn't such a good idea. I would definitely do this tour again but i would reccommend going during the warmer months :)Read full review
Kudos to Guide Kymberly and for putting together a truly enjoyable walk through Central Park! What a lovely way to spend an autumn afternoon in New York City. As a movie enthusiast, I loved the scoop on where scenes were filmed, but even if.. you aren't familiar with the movies, it's still a great way to see some of the prettiest/most famous places in the Park. Kymberly made the tour really fun, her vast knowledge of movies was amazing, great job! I would definitely recommend this tour.Read full review
