Megan - larger than life.

It’s more than a tour of the memorial - it’s also about the surrounding area and how it was affected. Megan was brilliant. A tour guide, performing artist and encyclopaedia all Mixed into one. She even found us places to sit while she shared her wisdom!! Very entertaining and informative.

Enjoyed every minute!

This was a fast paced and informative tour of an elegant building and the history of the time. We loved every minute. There is stair climbing to be aware of.

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt Skip-the-Line Premium Experience with Tour

Robert_L, Mar 2026

Best Observatory Experience

The Summit One Vanderbilt Skip the Line Premium Experience was absolutely worth it and was easily one of the highlights of our New York trip. From the very beginning, the premium experience made everything feel smoother, more organized, and much more enjoyable. Being able to skip the long lines saved us a lot of time and made the visit feel far less stressful, especially in such a busy attraction. One of the best parts of the premium experience was that we had a tour guide, which made the visit even better. Having a guide added so much more value because we were able to learn more about the space, the views, and the overall experience instead of just walking through on our own. Our guide helped make everything feel more personalized, informative, and memorable. It also felt like we were able to experience a few extra things that we may not have gotten to enjoy the same way without the premium package, which made it feel even more special and worthwhile. Once inside, the entire experience was incredible from start to finish. The views were absolutely breathtaking and gave such an amazing perspective of New York City. Everywhere you looked, there was something stunning to take in. The skyline, the surrounding buildings, and the city stretching out in every direction made for an unforgettable experience. It truly felt surreal at times. What makes Summit One Vanderbilt stand out is that it is so much more than just an observation deck. The entire experience is immersive, modern, and visually stunning. The mirrored rooms and interactive spaces made it feel unique and unlike any other attraction. Every part of it felt thoughtfully designed and exciting to explore. The premium experience really elevated the visit because it was not just about skipping the lines—it also gave us a more enhanced and complete experience overall. Between the convenience, the guided aspect, and the extra parts we were able to enjoy, it felt like we got much more out of the visit than we would have otherwise. That made the extra cost feel completely worth it. The staff were also friendly, professional, and helpful, which added to the positive experience. Everything felt well organized, and even though Summit is clearly a very popular attraction, the premium experience made it feel much more comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, I would highly recommend the Summit One Vanderbilt Skip the Line Premium Experience to anyone visiting New York, especially if you want to make the most of your time there. Between the incredible views, the immersive design, the convenience of skipping the lines, and the added benefit of having a tour guide and access to more parts of the experience, this was something truly memorable. I would absolutely do it again.

Washington and 5 states in one day

Our guides Allan and Carlos were fantastic. We saw the highlights of Washington which were stunning and throughout our journey got to learn so much. Highly recommend to see the historic side of Washington and get a glimpse of other states. Arlington cemetery in Virginia was definitely a highlight.

Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket

Jayne_W, Jul 2025

Worth a visit (in my opinion!)

Me and my saddo husband visited this. We turned up really early and were told we were ok to go in. All the staff were very friendly and polite. We spent about three and half hours just wandering around looking at all the exhibits which we loved. We ended up sat under Concorde looking out over the river. The views of New York are amazing.
