What are people saying about New York City

"The Met" Metropolitan Museum of Art Exclusive Guided Tour

Tina_W, May 2026

Charlie Led Excellent Tour

Our tour, led by Charlie, was great. He showed us museum highlights from ancient Egypt to the Impressionists, without ever making the tour feel rushed. Charlie repeatedly spoke directly to the interests of each group member. I found that his asking questions (eg, "Find five inaccuracies in Leutze’s "Washington Crossing the Delaware") kept us more engaged. Charlie provided background stories on many of the works. We would highly recommend this tour.

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

NOBO_T, Apr 2026

Sobering and fascinating...

Sobering and fascinating and emotional and informative. Great guide Sean who was nearby on his bicycle and survived. Grounds are beautiful. Museum is very very well presented. Views from top of freedom tower were outstanding. One of the best tours we have ever taken, anywhere. Worth the 4.5 hours we allotted and could've spent more time in all 3 zones.

Private Central Park Pedicab Tour

Matthew_M, Apr 2026

Fantastic you

Yasim made this tour genuinely special. His knowledge of Central Park’s history was impressive, but what set him apart was how naturally he wove it all together — you never felt like you were getting a lecture. Friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate about the city. If you’re doing a Central Park pedicab tour, ask for Yasim. You won’t be disappointed.

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.

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

Tessica_P, Mar 2026

Amazing and insightful tour.

Raymond was a wealth of knowledge and shared the passion he has for NY and 9/11. The pictures he added were also a nice addition. His portion was about 2 hours. My only advice is to allow at least 2 hours after his portion to have time to go through the museum which is sooo worth seeing.

Official Private NYC Central Park Horse Carriage Ride Since 1970™

OvedeLevi_L, Feb 2026

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

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!

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.

Private Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Tour

Carlos_C, Dec 2025

Do the private tour, its worth it.

We had a family of 7 including my kids and grandparents so we decided to do a private tour. Its was the best decision. Orlando, our guide was very knowledgeable, patient, and efficient. My 17 year old with autism is a major history buff and Orlando made sure he answered all of his questions. I 100% recommend doing a private tour. Viator application was easy and practical for anybody to use.

Private Tour New York City in the Gilded Age: A History of High Society

Emily_M, Oct 2025

Enjoyable tour of building that no longer exist!

We had a great time with John, our guide. Even though there are only a few vestiges of the “Gilded Age” left in New York, John provided a lot of historical information and anecdotes about famous People who lived during that era and the time passed quickly. John obviously has a lot of knowledge of the era and enjoys giving tours. Pace was doable for retirees. Tour ends at the Metropolitan Museum of Art where there are free restrooms. Personally, I think that the tour will be more enjoyable if you have watched The Gilded Age on HBO - helps with visualization.

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!
