What are people saying about New York City

Brandon_N, Apr 2026

Highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Alice was super fun and had an awesome personality. She was extremely knowledgeable and we found ourselves hanging on every word. I couldn't imagine visiting ground zero without all that extra information we recieved about the surrounding areas IE: fire house, the little chapel that stood, Ohara's. among other things.

Private Central Park Pedicab Tour

Kristen_L, Apr 2026

Decent & quick way to see a bit of the park

It was as expected- we booked in advance and were glad, the bike was motorized and cleaner than the ones that were mostly $5/minute in the area. We had never been to Central Park and wasn’t sure what really to expect. It was primarily about movies shot there, with some other history and building facts in there too. A good way to quickly check it out and say you’ve been there.

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

Denise_C, Apr 2026

Fabulous way to see New York City!

Best part of our trip! I cannot recommend taking this luxury boat tour enough! First of all Mike, the boat owner and our captain the day we were on board, is a great guy. He was so patient with helping my elderly parents get on and off the boat. He gave a great deal of interesting information, but didn't overtalk like some folks do on tours. He made sure all along the way that we were having a great te and took pics of us at all the best spots to grabs pics. He answered all my silly questions and was just lovely. Seeing Lady Liberty from the Hudson is so moving. Totally worth the cost to do this instead of the larger boats.

Kevin L was great tour guide

He was very helpful and accommodating to our group of six Highly recommend this tour especially if you don't have a lot of time to spend at the museum

Official Private NYC Central Park Horse Carriage Ride Since 1970™

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!

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.

NY Helicopter Tour: New York City Skyline from New Jersey

Aditi_S, Dec 2025

Absolutely incredible experience!

The helicopter tour was extremely professional from start to finish, and the staff were warm, friendly, and very reassuring. The night views of the New York City skyline were simply breathtaking — truly the best way to see NYC after dark. The flight itself was incredibly smooth, not choppy or bumpy at all, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I was lucky enough to sit right in front next to the pilot, and that made it extra special and fun. A fantastic tour overall and an experience I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting New York!

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!
