We took this trip during Christmas time and it was really cool, most of the people were Chinese but it didn't make any difference. Tour guide - Teresa was very nice. Hotels were amazing! Really good price.

An excellent tour all round. Our driver and tour guide were very helpful. Our guide, Kai Choo (hope I've spelled his name correctly) was very informative and gave us plenty of information to make the trip both informative and enjoyable. Wel..l done! Excellent value for money.Read full review
I went on this tour with my sister and niece.We had a great time. The guides were very informative and had a good sense of humor.It was well worth the money. I will definitely recommend this tour to my friends.
We enjoyed our tour very much, not only my family but also everybody who joined the tour. Everybody joined all the attractions except the Imax movie. But the rest we joined. Our guides namely Steven and Jackie together with our driver, they.. were very nice, organized. we were on time allways, we were on schedule. They r also very helpful. I suggest you join all the attractions, except the corning glass museum, imax movie and the CN tower. The hotels where we stayed are also nice, big and nice hotel. We stayed at Universal Inn at Niagara falls, and Quality hotel in Toronto. they were both nice. We are satisfied. An excellent tour!Read full review
100% 2-Day Bus Tour to Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Baltimore from New York

My tour was excellent starting with my tour guide who was very knowledgeable, polite, pleasant, professional and helpful. He took the time to explain in detail every single aspect of the tourist attractions. He made it clear to us where w..e needed to meet him after touring on our own and he was clear as to what time we needed to regroup.
I enjoyed speaking the few words that I know in Chinese with my fellow passengers. I also spoke some Chinese with my tour guide who was loving enough to seat me next to him so that a couple could sit together throughout the trip. He also put me together with a lady who was also a single traveller so that we wouldn't be alone in our rooms.
My roommate has travelled to many places and is multiracial like me. I learned a little bit about Holland-thanks to her, and I will never forget her and her long travels alone from Holland to Canada and her drive from Canada to the US. I enjoyed every aspect of trip. It was very affordable, and I have many pictures to show for.Read full review
We took this tour between 22-23 Oct 2011. We didn't have much expectations of the tour since it was really affordable. However, we were surprised by the coverage of the tour! Saw all the places promised and more. Our tour guide George also ..made it a point to share loads of information about the places we visited and not visited. Even better was the accommodation which was clean and spacious and even had free wifi in the room.
A couple of downers though: the bus wasn't well kept and the seats we had had the window smeared with condensation which pretty much killed any "sightseeing" opportunities during the long journeys. The crowd was also unexpected.
In all, if you keep to yourself, it's an enjoyable tour.

This is an awesome tour. Everything was perfect. The hotels, bus and attractions.
You just need to plan on some extra money for the attractions.
I really enjoyed it
At the start of the tour we met 'Vito', the tour was then jam packed with sites, photo opportunities, titbits of information and humour. The tour guide Marc (an extra) was a good presenter, made it very fun and interesting. The locations we..re great. My partner went on the tour 9 years ago and he said it was as good as then and better with the advantage of all of the series's. The bus was comfortable, clean and air-conditioned (and there were toilets). If you are wondering whether to go on this tour or not....you absolutely must!!!!Read full review
The tour guide showed clips from the show that corresponded with the actual sites. She was entertaining & gave lots of interesting facts & trivea. We really enjoyed it! :o)
Great deal! The tour guide (Lucy) was great and the tour bus was very comfortable and convienent. We saw everything we wanted to see and then some. You do need to be aware that you have to bring cash for all tours (about $25 per person, pe..r venue) but you do have the option of choosing what you want to attend. We had pick up in China town and it would help if there was a sign for specific tours as there were lots of tours leaving at the same time. One of the best deals we found in NYC! Would highly recommend it to anyone!Read full review
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
