What are people saying about New York City

Metropolitan Museum of Art Highlights Tour with Skip-the-Line Access

Teresa_p, Oct 2026

Great intro to art at the museum

The “skip the line” should be modified or removed from title as you DO have to go through the security line first, but can SKIP the line to purchase a ticket. This would be helpful in the meeting instructions to know and to remind people to have time for the security check

9/11 Ground Zero & Memorial Tour with Optional 9/11 Museum

Natalie_E, Sep 2026

A very moving and increby interesting tour

This tour was incredible! Rob the tour guide was fascinating and engaging, as he told the story of that fateful day I was transported back 25 years.. I could feel the same emotions as I did that day. The whole area is beautiful and peaceful a place to reflect and remember! The museum was very moving and I highly recommend this. My daughter wasn’t born until 2007 so this was such an education for her and she thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the museum

Museum of Broadway

Barry_S, Sep 2026

Broadway's walk down memory lane and why it's always changing.

We believed the Museum's website that the experience took 1.5 to 2 hours...we could have spent longer. My wife and I are "readers." We loved the way the museum was laid out chronilogically and showed how drama and music merged and also grew independently. The text, photos, and archive items in each historic era helped to tell the unique history of Broadway fare, and the various arts as well. There were costumes, props and models of sets and videos. We'd highly recommend the museum to theater-goers...especially those who seek to understand why Broadway is such an exciting and vibrant area.

Fun historical tour

The tour was a good way to see highlights of the MET, which is vey big - 25 connected buildings. Our guide provide history about the MET and explained some of the varying architecture. We ended up staying after the tour to see some of the items he mentioned that were not part of the tour.

RiseNY - A Soaring Journey Through New York

Migdalia_D, Jul 2026

NYC day trip

The trip was extremely hectic. Some of the subway tracks that we needed to take to get to our destinations were closed for the weekend and we have no idea we’re Taurus so we need to run here and there with the kids and it was exhausting. the kids were annoyed. But at the end of the day we made it to at least one of the attractions which it was the rise of New York. We made it to that one, although we lost a lot of money, which is Ludacris today because we never made it to the other attractions on time because we were so lost with the subway being shut down for the weekend. I would recommend your site to friends however I would let them know that somehow when they get there, they need to find out which subways are shut down for the weekend. I don’t even know how we can figure that one out when we are not New Yorkers.

Highly recommend!

Get Your 15 Seconds of Fame on a Times Square Billboard in NYC!

Maria_C, Mar 2026

I loved this sooo much....

I loved this sooo much. The billboard displayed on time, The occasion was for my daughters 21 bday, she was so surprised to see her face in her military uniform displayed in the middle of Time Square. They send you a time of display, therefore you know at what time it will display. All in all, worth every penny!

Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket

Sandra_H, Feb 2026

USS Intrepid and a rainy cold Friday in February

Great place for someone with interest in military, American History or airplanes. It was kids week so there were a lot of extra activities for smaller children. We made it through (sans kids week activities) the ship and submarine in about 3 hours. Due to the time of year and crappy weather (cold heavy rain) and no lines we didn't have to wait more than 5 mins for anything. We will go back again as several family members mentioned interest when we got home. Its clear that better weather brings much much larger crowds and with it longer lines.
