I experienced moments of pure joy and euphoria on this tour. My friend and I sat up front (highly recommended) and both had tears in our eyes. The ability to fly so close, to see such a marcel from the air is nothing short of spectator. Our Pilot, Rob, was fantastic - a retired NYC firefighter turned helicopter pilot?! If my friend was the least bit nervous about riding in a helicopter her nerves were calmed by the professionalism of This business…but to also have a firefighter as a pilot made her feel completely at ease. He was fun, played great music, and had excellent knowledge about everything we saw. 6 people fit in our copter, my only regret was going with just one friend. Bring a whole crew if you can! Also, Rob said he thinks the beat views are mid day, so the 9am pick up time was perfect.
