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

Prathyusha_N, Apr 2026

Sam is a superstar

Our tour guide Sam was simply amazing. He walked us through all the major parts of the Egyptian history and we were blown by his knowledge. I highly recommend him . He also explained about roman painting sculpture and went above and beyond to make sure the tour was entertaining and enlightened at the same time. Thank you so much Sam. We loved every bit of the tour!! - Narayan family

2-hour Metropolitan Museum Guided Tour

Margaret_F, Mar 2026

Good tour, please don’t be late.

Really just an overview of what the Met has to offer. After the tour you can go back and see things in more depth. It includes an all day ticket so staying until closing is a bonus But please be on time ( which is 15 minutes prior to the tour starting). Of the 15 people who purchased the tour 6 people for 11am. Tour showed up 15 min late. We all waited while tickets were purchased for them so we all started 15 min late which made our tour 15 minutes shorter. The same 6 left the tour without telling the guide. Our guide was very knowledgeable.

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.

Radio City Music Hall Tour Experience

jehammack, Mar 2026

Thanks, Miles!

Great tour. Super interesting history and we met and had photos with a Rockette!. Radio City is famous, but I had no idea how rich and layered its past really is — the Art Deco design details, the famous performers who’ve graced that stage, the behind-the-scenes secrets you’d never learn on your own. Our guide, Miles, delivered all of it with infectious enthusiasm and just the right touch of humor to keep everyone engaged, from the youngest person in our group to the oldest.

9/11 Memorial, Ground Zero Tour with Optional 9/11 Museum Ticket

Kelly_C, Feb 2026

Heartfelt 9/11 Ground Zero review

This tour gave us so many more information than if we had done a self-guided tour. Sergio was our guide and his heartfelt passion to share the 9/11 story was evident. Even after telling the stories many times you can tell he was still touched by them himself. My favorite thing was the memorial American Express built for their 11 employees who perished that day. We would have never found that on our own.

Private All Access 9/11 Ground Zero: Tour, Museum & Observatory

Nicola_H, Feb 2026

Best tour by far

Absolutely amazing,best tour of our holiday. Our guide Rob was the best,so knowledgeable. We wish we could have spent longer with him. Such an interesting man who really knows everything there us to know about 9/11. Made us feel as if we were there,made it all very real. Thankyou so much.

Washington DC Day Tour from New York City

Nicola_M, Sep 2025

Fantastic experience

Fantastic day trip from New York! Very impressed with Washington DC and well worth the time and effort with the fabulous host, Allan, and driver, Carlos. The pair of them went the extra mile with showing sites that weren't on the itinerary. The only thing I would say is the that the van could do with a bit of TLC and older people may struggle with stepping in and out of the van with no hand rails and a large step

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.

All-Garden Pass for the New York Botanical Garden

Sarah_T, Apr 2025

Lovely Mid-April adventure

We went mid-April and the cherry blossoms were in bloom and the daffodils as well. It is still a bit early in the season so no roses, etc. but it was still a really fun day. We were able to go and see the orchid show as well! When you arrive check in with your Viator code go to the ticket counter so they can give you a physical ticket as the virtual one will not give you access to use the tram. We also were able to see the orchid show which was beautiful.
