Your experienced pilot provides live commentary throughout the 30-minute flight, explaining the history and significance of each landmark as the city unfolds below. This comprehensive route covers twice the ground of shorter helicopter tours, making it perfect for first-time visitors who want to see everything New York has to offer from the air.
