What are people saying about New York City

Kathleen_G, Sep 2026

Great overview!

This was an excellent way to get a brief overview of the park. Our guide Leo was personable and informative. He connected with our three teens and answered all their questions about the park. We never felt rushed (even got to watch a wedding!), but felt as if we covered a lot of territory. Our last day in NYC ended on a high note!

Our tour guide James is very knowledgeable, he took us to the Trinity Church/ St. Paul's Chapel in which he talks about Chaplain Mychal Judge and Welles Remy Crowther. He walked us around the area by the new tower, the Reflection Pools also to Fire House #10 and by the Oculus and many more... this tour this was beyond my friend and my expectations.

Ray had many personal stories of his life that day and going forward, highlighting the thousands of people affected yet never mentioned in reports including how phone services were disrupted and travel routes including bridges and roads were shutdown as people tried to return to their homes, many having to camp out in the city for days.

Great guide!

We had a great experience with Cherie! The best way to appreciate a collection this large is to have a guide to help explain it to you. Cherie gave us a lot of interesting information that we couldn’t have gotten just from reading the cards. Highly recommend!

Official Private NYC Central Park Horse Carriage Ride Since 1970™

Abiodun_A, Sep 2026

Top Notch

We enjoyed the horse carriage ride along the NY Central Parkway. The park was very lively and loving, and well str. We received review of historical buildings and restaurants around the park. We spent 45 minutes for the ride, we stopped at the lake, watched the canoe ride and took nice pictures with my wife and children. We also took pictures with the horse and carriage. At the final stop we enjoyed feeding the horse some carrots and took family pictures with her. There were different events taking place at various arenas, people riding bikes, horses carriages, and everyone running ups and downs the park. It’s a beautiful park that is filled with live activities. We all enjoyed it and will come back again.

Review...

Review We had such an amazing experience on our Central Park pedicab tour, and Ricky was an incredible guide! He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire tour so much fun. He shared so much interesting history about the park that we never would have learned on our own, and he knew all the best spots for photos. He also took so many great pictures of us, which was such a nice bonus and gave us memories we’ll have forever. Ricky really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. If you’re visiting NYC and considering a pedicab tour, definitely ask for Ricky! We would absolutely recommend him! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

New York City Christmas Lights Private Horse Carriage Ride

Abbe_D, Jan 2026

Christmas Magic Memories Made

Muhammad and Victor (his beautiful horse) provided a wonderful and magical ride through the lights of NYC. He made sure to pause so we had the best view of the Saks light show and pointed out the sights along the way. The warm blankets were especially welcome on a very chilly day.

NY Helicopter Tour: New York City Skyline from New Jersey

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.

New York City One World Observatory Admission Ticket

Eric_I, Oct 2025

Former New Yorker’s visit to One World Trade Center

It was an incredible experience. I went up with my friends (one from out of town, and one born and raised in Queens, I’m from Harlem NY), and it was such an incredible view! In all my years living in New York City, I’m sad I didn’t come sooner! Watching this tower get constructed to see what it is today is surreal. The staff were very friendly, informative, and made you feel welcome. One staff member took a picture for us at the observatory! Definitely will come again. The weather was rainy, but we were still able to see most of the city and surrounding areas. The options in the gift shop looked high quality and I was very tempted to purchase a hat (big 1 train fan). I will definitely be back here!
