Angie_M, Jul 2026

An absolutely unforgettable tour

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a fun experience! Our ex-NYPD guide was hilarious, incredibly professional, and made the tour unforgettable. As huge Sopranos fans (especially my husband!), we loved all the mafia stories and local food stops. Highly recommend—don’t miss this tour! 🍕🗽

Seamless from start to finish. We purchased tickets two hours before, and even boarding near the end, had ample options for seating and views. Our guide Debbie was amazing and the history shared during the tour was rich. The ride was smooth! Would recommend 10/10!

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt Experience Ticket

Anadria_B, Jun 2026

Breathtakingly Stunning Views aka The Summit

If you don't like heights or flashing lights, this might not be the experience for you. But if you're ok with all of that, this is an incredible attraction to visit. The architecture and design are innovative and unique which makes it one of NYC's biggest attractions, especially if you want to take amazing photos of the NYC skyline! You can get 360 degree views from the Summit! The outdoor patio was beautiful, a little windy but nice for adults to enjoy a glass of wine and great for a first date! The bubble room was one of my favorite spots but it got a little too crowded for me, the kids will love it though! If you're visiting NYC, please make it a point to go visit this mind-blowing modern feat that you will always remember the visual beauty that is the NYC skyline! Go check out the SUMMIT at 1 Vanderbilt! You won't be disappointed!

Incredible dinner sightseeing experience

What an incredible experience! The NYC Dinner Bus Sightseeing Experience exceeded every expectation. The food was absolutely world-class, and Chef Bianca curated a dining experience that was both creative and delicious. Every course was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The service was equally exceptional. Jonathan was attentive, professional, and made every guest feel welcome throughout the evening. His hospitality truly elevated the experience. A special thank you as well to our driver, who navigated the busy streets of New York City safely and smoothly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the sights, food, and atmosphere. Between the outstanding cuisine, breathtaking city views, elegant ambiance, and top-tier service, this was one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had in NYC. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique way to experience the city. Worth every penny!

Dyker Heights Brooklyn Christmas Lights Tour

JulioR_O, Dec 2025

Best Christmas ever!

Danny was our tour guide through Dyker Heights Christmas City Lights. I have been wanting to do this for years, and this was the year the only way to appreciate NYC on in Christmas is at night and from the bridges. It was more than my expectations so as far as im concerned during Christmas you have to book one of these tours and get the heck out of the city.

Rachel and Juan did an excellent job on this tour. Rachel is very knowledgeable about NY. Even though I have been to NY several times, she took us to places I have never seen and explained these places. If I ever get back to NY I would do another tour with Rachel. She and Juan are a great asset to Viator.
