What are people saying about New York City

Jennifer_M, Apr 2026

Love the Gilded Age tour!

Care was very knowledgeable and the tour was a great mix of interior and exterior detail. It was a great way to spend a lovely spring afternoon in NYC - would highly recommend for anyone interested in a glimpse of the gilded age architecture and lifestyle.

"The Met" Metropolitan Museum of Art Exclusive Guided Tour

Darya_S, Apr 2026

Rob was an excellent tour...

Rob was an excellent tour guide - knowledgeable, friendly, didn’t over or under explain, everything was just right! He was able to guide us on specific areas of the museum - we requested classical art, renaissance, baroque, neoclassical, and Hudson River school artists. He nailed it all! Even our 8 year old enjoyed it mostly with disruption

Starship Landmark 90 Minute Sightseeing Cruise

Jade_N, Apr 2026

Unbeatable Statue of Liberty Views & an Unforgettable Guide

Such a great experience! The views of the Statue of Liberty were absolutely perfect, and you get photo opportunities you really can’t capture any other way. Darius made the whole tour, he was funny, engaging, and kept everyone entertained the entire time. He seriously deserves a raise! Highly recommend this tour if you’re in NYC.

Official NYC Horse Carriage Rides in Central Park since 1979 ™

Lindsey_B, Mar 2026

Perfect Way to see Central Park

Our guide and our experience was a highlight of our trip. She was kind, a compelling storyteller, and very accommodating to a traveling family. She patiently answered all of the questions and observations shared by our children. Definitely worth the expense - lifelong memories ;)

Metropolitan Museum Guided Group Tour

Georgina_H, Mar 2026

Rob's tour of the Met was...

Rob's tour of the Met was really informative and interesting. He was knowledgeable and approachable. The tour lasted 2.5 hours and Rob showed us several pieces highlighting links between them and key information about artworks and their historical context. We learned at lot on this excellent tour.

Circle Line: 1.5hr New York City Statue of Liberty Sunset Cruise

Sal_C, Mar 2026

Great!

This is beyond worth the price. Especially for the sunset option. To start you pass both bridges and come back down to get a nice view of downtown with one world trade center. Then you turn to head toward the Statue of Liberty as the sunset sets. The boat does 2 passes so both sides get a good view for pictures. Outside seating and indoor seating is 2 levels. You pass both bridges again to get those night time shots before docking.

New York contrasts: Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens & Brooklyn

Sebastian_R, Jan 2026

Reality, contrast. Understanding. Knowledge.

It’s everything about the name. Understand how is the real NYC life outside of Manhattan. Francisco took the time to explain everything, numbers, reality, zones and much more. It’s the perfect trip to understand realities and true life at the big apple.

Jynette_Q, Jan 2026

10/10 recommended family experience

This was a great way to see so much of central park without extra walking. Kamal and King Gypsy were amazing and knowledgeable and we were so grateful for his fun facts and photography skills. Whether you have a short timeline or time to peruse, this is a 10/10 for you and the family. Highlight of the family trip.

Chelsea Market and High Line Guided Food Tour

Barrie_B, Jan 2026

Diego does it best, just say yes to this tour

My friend and I enjoyed our Chelsea Market and High Line Food tour on a cold winter day. Diego was an exceptional guide, sharing his passion for the historic Chelsea Market building - the former Nabisco factory. The tour also included two stops at the Market 57 on the Hudson River, where we had our pit stop and a nice view of Little Island. The food was outstanding, the guide incredible, and time well spent. We went on a Monday, so the market was quiet and we had plenty of space to enjoy our food stops.

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

Carlene_S, Dec 2025

Worth every penny!!!

Very good. Our tour guide was very friendly and extremely informative. The museum had so many artifacts and memories displayed along with actual footage of 9/11. The World Observatory was pretty awesome and had a great view of the city and Hudson River. This visit made for some great memories. I definitely recommend all three.

New York City Ghost Tour of Greenwich Village

Eleana_Y, Dec 2025

Best ghost tour ever!

Best ghost tour I have ever been on! Joel was the best guide! He knew exactly what he was talking about. He was engaging and loved answering our questions. Even if they had nothing to do with the tour! It made freezing outside 100% worth it! I will definitely be taking this tour if I get the chance again.

NYC in a Day Tour: Statue of Liberty, Times Square and More

Kimberly_E, Nov 2025

New York in a Day Walking Tour

This is a fast paced tour, so good walking shoes are a must. Our guide, Cale, made everything awesome from start to finish. He even taught us how to navigate the subway system and snapped amazing photos of us. I highly recommend this tour because yes, you can find the sights on your own, but Cale provided so much history and background info to enhance our sight seeing experience that we would never know on our own. This tour is well worth the cost.
