Great adventures with Isaac!

Great value for your money, especially for the 5 hour version. You see so much and the tour is customized to your preferences. The SUV was clean, posh, and comfortable. Isaac was funny and very informative! Went with a friend and our mom's and he treated them so good. I've been coming to NYC for years and saw several things for the first time! I want to visit again and go on his Brooklyn food tour! Don't miss! thank you, ISAAC!🎉

A well worth, once in a...

A well worth, once in a lifetime sort of experience. We are from the UK and were staying in central NYC. The train from NY Penn to Linden was easy to navigate which can be daunting at first. After letting heliNY know we would be getting the train they offer their free shuttle service from the train station to the experience, and back again. 10/10 would recommend. The actual flight itself was something special.
