What are people saying about New York City

Ria_D, Jul 2026

The only way to see the Met!

Really the only way to see the highlights of the extensive collections at the Met if you're short on time! Jeff D was an amazing guide and we were the only ones on the tour that day, so it was a private tour - an amazing value! Jeff is obviously a pro and we were so lucky in that the most popular exhibits (self portrait of Van Gogh, for example) were not crowded. Additionally, he led us to one of the earliest works of Michelangelo which was lost to history and then discovered in a garden. He was quite engaging with our 15 year old niece, who remarked that she missed him when the tour was over and we were looking at some collections afterwards, without the context he provided for the works. Would highly recommend this tour and Jeff D!

Private Central Park Pedicab Tour

Gautam_R, Jun 2026

Great, fast tour of Central Park!!

We took the 2 hour tour...our guide showed us movie video clips of movie scenes shot at each location we passed (over 20 movies), helped take pictures, and gave us interesting historical information. The 2 hour tour is comprehensive and really satisfying !!!

Circle Line: 1.5hr - New York City Landmarks Cruise

Shanon_P, Jun 2026

Book it, it’s FUN!

Great experience! I have been to NYC several times and this is the first time that I have done the cruise. It was super fun, very informative and our tour guide was funny and even sung us a song at the end. It was a really neat experience to see the bridges up close and a unique view of the city; even more awesome was our up close and personal with Lady Liberty!

Worth every penny!!!

This was a great experience for my bf who had never been to NYC before. Our coachman was very knowledgeable and it was enjoyable seeing him interact with his horse, Noble. It is definitely worth the money if you want your first time in Central Park to be unforgettable!

NYC Secrets of Grand Central Station Tour

Kathy, May 2026

Fantastic Tour...and an informative and entertaining tour guide!

I LOVED this tour! Mickey was our guide, and she was GREAT. She was funny, informative and you could tell she just loved opening the curtain a bit and showing us really ‘secret’ things in Grand Central that I didn’t know were even there. I loved the history she provided, as well as the funny little ‘quirks’ about the people involved. I’ve always felt that Grand Central Terminal is one of the most beautiful spaces in the city, but now I love it even more after this very interesting tour. I took notes (I always do on historical tours), and I fully plan to study Grand Central a bit more when I get home. Thanks Mickey!

Andrea_M, May 2026

Fun and fascinating walk through historic neighborhoods

Really fun and fascinating tour through the three historic neighborhoods with George as our knowledgeable local guide, pointing out features and facts that appealed to a variety of interests. George’s shared experiences and obvious love of the city made this a great time, even through a rainy chilly day.

NYC in a Day Tour: Lady Liberty, Times Square, 9/11 Memorial

Paige_C, May 2026

Great tour!

My husband and I did this tour with our 10 year old son and it was wonderful! We love doing a tour and learning about a city from someone that lives there. Our tour guide was Dan and he was great! He engaged our son a lot and would ask him questions and he knew so much about the city. We love doing a walking/subway tour and this did not disappoint. Would definitely recommend!

Day trip to Washington from New York

cheshirecatkat, Feb 2026

Best....day....EVER

A long day but worth every single minute. Absolutely brilliant day from start to finish. We weren't sure if the trip would have went ahead due to the heavy snow fall a few days before but thankfully it did. We got to see all the sights with plenty of free time at each location. Our tour guides Mario, David & Augustus were fantastic & very knowledgeable at each point of interest. The bus was very clean & comfortable too. The suprise at the end of the tour was just the perfect ending to the most perfect day...thank you. Would 100% recommend this trip.

Fun, great food and NYC history

We toured with Lauren and she was the best! Even threw in a surprised treat in between for all of us. If it’s your first or second time in New York, Highly recommend this tour. As you’re walking by other shops, Lauren gives you a heads up on which ones are worth coming back for. We had a great time!

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.

Circle Line: NYC BEAST Speedboat Ride

Suzanne_G, Sep 2025

The Beast is the Best

This is the third time we've gone on the Beast and once again, it did not disappoint. The ride goes by very quickly but it's so much fun and the memories made are worth every penny. Staff is great and cheerful, they make every second enjoyable, even getting soaked with a water gun is pleasant. We love it and will definitely be back.
