The Manhattan skytour was fantastic!! The views and photo opportunities were breathtaking as we took a smooth flight up and down the Hudson as the pilot pointed out all the major sights such as the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Empire State building, Central Park etc. Highly recommend!!

It was an awesome experience, my friend and I are photographers and we both wanted to shoot out the window there were others on our trip as well and he allowed me to sit up front next to the pilot. I was very thankful they were able to accommodate us! Highly recommend.
