What are people saying about New York City

Ria_D, Jul 2026

The only way to see the Met!

Really the only way to see the highlights of the extensive collections at the Met if you're short on time! Jeff D was an amazing guide and we were the only ones on the tour that day, so it was a private tour - an amazing value! Jeff is obviously a pro and we were so lucky in that the most popular exhibits (self portrait of Van Gogh, for example) were not crowded. Additionally, he led us to one of the earliest works of Michelangelo which was lost to history and then discovered in a garden. He was quite engaging with our 15 year old niece, who remarked that she missed him when the tour was over and we were looking at some collections afterwards, without the context he provided for the works. Would highly recommend this tour and Jeff D!

All-Access 9/11: Ground Zero Tour, Memorial and Museum, One World Observatory

Mary_M, Jun 2026

Must see Museum and tour in NYC

This was an excellent tour. Ross provided a personalized experience and thoughtful insight to the 9/11 Memorial and surrounding area. He was thorough in explaining the history of the memorial's development and execution. I would highly recommend taking this tour to bring context to this historic and horrific event. The Museum is outstanding and was well done. Everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime to honor and reflect upon this national and global tragedy.

Great and easy way to see...

Great and easy way to see all of Central Park! The guides are very informative about all the history of the park. Our Guide Noah made sure we got to see all the spots we wanted! He was great! Would recommend to anyone from first time visitors to people who have visited many times! There’s something for everyone.

Best Private Luxury Daytime Boat Tour in New York City - 2 Hour

Emma_T, Jun 2026

Outstanding Trip

Absolutely fantastic couple of hours spent with John today. He gave a brilliant commentary as we were travelling along the Hudson and East Rivers, he took lots of photos of us with the best backgrounds of the city. We wouldn’t hesitate to do this tour again. The boat was perfect and we had a good selection of music to listen to, certainly a lot better than being crammed in on a boat with hundreds of people.

Would do this tour all over again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing tour of New York City with Issac! He made the entire experience both fun and educational, sharing interesting facts and stories throughout the day while keeping everyone engaged. We visited some of NYC’s most iconic attractions, including the LEGO Store, the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the Brooklyn Bridge. One of the highlights was stopping for authentic New York-style pizza. We absolutely loved Pizzahaus and appreciated that Issac included local favorites as part of the experience. Issac’s enthusiasm, knowledge, and friendly personality made the tour unforgettable. He kept everything organized while making sure we had plenty of opportunities to enjoy the city and create great memories. We would definitely come back to New York City and would specifically ask for Issac as our guide again. Highly recommended!

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

andrea_t, May 2026

Emotional tour

Tour guide Ellen very good. We had a museum tour as well which I found very daunting and emotional. We watched the 2 documentaries in museum. The memorial was very solemn and security did not like people leaning on names or putting coats which is right I don’t understand how people can be disrespectful

Private Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Tour

Jenn_K, Mar 2026

A great combo tour of two important landmarks in our history.

This was a lovely historical walking tour of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Annie knew her stuff and made it fun and interesting to learn old and new information. A great way to spend the day with my mom whose grandparents emigrated through Ellis Island.

Nothing like a clip-clop through Central Park

Fred was fantastic. We got a great historical overview of the area and he pointed out several spots from famous film scenes. There's nothing like a carriage ride through Central Park, even in the freezing cold – and my god it was cold – and nobody better than Fred to conduct it. Highly recommend!

NY Helicopter Tour: New York City Skyline from New Jersey

Jake_R, Dec 2025

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.

Central Park Film Spots and Celebrity Homes Pedicab Tour

Stephen_C, Dec 2025

Great way to experience Central Park !

Got to see Times Square. Guide explained the stops and passing bys very well. On our stops, he took pictures of us so we both could be in the pictures. Supplied a blanket since it was cold. His pedicab was decorated for Christmas. Loved that. He was on time and found us easily. Pretty sure his name was Edward. He was Russian, his English was great. Me and the wife were forgetful of his name.

Best way to see NYC!

We had an amazing one-hour private boat tour with Captain Will! He was incredibly knowledgeable and so friendly, making the entire experience fun and relaxing. We got to see so many iconic sights, including the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge and, of course, our favorite—the stunning Statue of Liberty. It was the perfect way to take in the city from the water. Highly recommend Captain Will for an unforgettable tour!
