What are people saying about New York City

Kathryn_D, Aug 2026

Great overview and tour of Central Park

This was a great way of seeing the highlights of Central Park as well as learning a lot! From history, to pop culture and the numerous shooting locations of movies and TV, my guide really taught me way more than I would have learned on my own. Plus traveling on the pedicab meant we covered the entirety of the park in 1.5 hours.

Perfect adventure

Booked it for my girlfriend’s birthday along with her daughter, son in law and grandkids. Exceeded our expectations. Great communication and directions before the event. Left on time. Boat captain was very friendly and informative. Knew the best places for photos. Would definitely do it again.

Fun Central Park Ride With Ronnie

We had an amazing Central Park horse carriage ride! Ronnie was intelligent, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about the park, especially all the famous movie scenes that were filmed there. He made the ride both entertaining and informative. We had fun. I highly recommend requesting Ronnie—you’re guaranteed to have a great time!

We will return

Catherine was a gracious and energetic tour guide. She was so well-versed on the displays that we wound up taking notes. The best thing is that her energy and awareness has encouraged us to visit the museum again. There’s no way to take it all in in just a few hours.

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

Denise_K, Jul 2026

Must see when in NYC

We did all three experiences. James was our first guide. He was exceptional! Since he grew up in NYC and he lived there when 911 happened 25 years ago. He told us stores and his own experience as a child when 911 happened. He does this for a living and you can tell he is really interesting. Ask for James you will not be disappointed. Our second guide she was good too showing us thee highlights in the museum. She also had her own stories. My husband said he wish he had more time in the museum. It is huge and very well done. Going up in the freedom tower was fantastic. It is well worth it. Highly recommend.

Wall Street, 9/11 Memorial and Lower Manhattan Walking Tour NYC

Liberty_H, Jun 2026

Excellent Guide and Information, But Much Longer Than Expected

The Wall Street, 9/11 Memorial, and Lower Manhattan Walking Tour was packed with interesting history and information. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about Wall Street, the Financial District, Lower Manhattan, and the events surrounding 9/11. It was clear that the guide was passionate about the subject matter and wanted guests to have a meaningful experience. The only downside was the length of the tour. It was advertised as a two-hour tour, but it ended up lasting nearly four hours. While the information was excellent, the extended duration made it difficult for those with other plans scheduled afterward. A better balance between detail and timing would have made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I learned a great deal and appreciated the guide's expertise. If you enjoy history and don't mind spending extra time exploring Lower Manhattan, this tour is worth considering. Just be prepared for it to potentially run much longer than advertised.

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!

Family Fun!!

Our family of four did a guided tour, and it was organized in groups of two, which worked out really well. The guide was amazing—very knowledgeable, explained everything clearly, and made the tour fun and engaging. We had such a great time, and if we visit again, we would definitely do the tour again. We highly recommend it.

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.

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.
