Are monsters born... or made? The most Tony Award®-winning play of the year: critics hail Stranger Things: The First Shadow as "a jaw-dropping, must-see theatrical marvel" (Entertainment Weekly) that makes you ask "how the hell did they do this?" (The New York Times) over and over again. In 1959 Hawkins, Indiana, the Creel family seeks a fresh start—especially their teenage son Henry, who is eager to escape his troubled past. Everything changes when he meets Patty, a fellow outsider, and their budding romance gives Henry hope for the first time. But when a wave of shocking crimes strikes the town, Henry is forced to confront a terrifying truth: is something inside him that connects him to the horrors unfolding around him? Note: The play is set within the world and mythology. A good guide would be to check if you and your party are comfortable with the level of content within the TV show. Under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Statue of Liberty and New York City Skyline Sightseeing Cruise

Donna_R, Apr 2026

Fun Affordable Cruise Experience

My Husband and I were celebrating our 28th Anniversary and wanted to take a sightseeing tour of the Hudson. So we chose “Classic Harbor Line NYC” . This Statue of Liberty & New York City Skyline Sightseeing cruise was Awesome! The duration of this cruise was just right, not too long or too short. The tour guide I believe her name was Mary Ann or Ann Marie was excellent and informative. The first drink was complimentary which is a very nice touch. The ship was small, (I think approximately 10 tables) which made our experience more intimate. Everyone was so nice and the weather for March turned out perfect. And the Statue of Liberty was unforgettable we got sooo many pictures. I highly recommend this Cruise Line.

Exceeds expectations!

The ferry excursion to the Statue of Liberty was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The tour was reasonably priced and it offered beautiful views of the city skyline and surrounding landmarks. A special highlight of the trip was our attendant, Debbie. She was exceptionally informative, sharing interesting facts and history throughout the journey, and her kindness made the experience even more enjoyable. It really felt like she went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time.

9/11 Memorial Museum Admission Ticket

Amazing tribute

Amazing to see all the photos and memorabilia from 9/11. Heartbreaking to hear the stories of that tragic day. Something you will never forget. Wish I could have taken photos in some of the restricted areas as there were a lot of significant pieces of information and history in those areas. That was my only disappointment. Amazing and beautiful tribute to those who served on that fateful day!

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

Jayne_C, Feb 2026

A Must Do !

Met Meghan what a fabulous knowledgeable lady she is , captured every detail with perfection and some of the detail got you so engrossed that it became extremely emotional especially when you see it in your guidelines telling the precious memories of what happened in detail on 9/11 ...... She was very conscious of how cold it was as at the time the city was going through some extreme weather so was mindful of all the group. She was on time , very chatty friendly made everyone feel welcome and interested in where we were all from around the world. Hand warmers were provided for tour which was I thought a lovely touch!!!! If you see this trip grab it with both hands you will not be disappointed, please leave a lot of time for this trip as our experience was more than we ever expected and you can take as much time as you want remembering 9/11 ...... emotional ... We also added on The World Trade Centre Observatory which was also breathtaking 360 degree views across New York City! ! Again you can spend as much time in there, lovely coffee shops and a restaurant for a bite to eat and a souvenir shop to purchase if you chose too.... If you choose this trip you will not regret it !!!!! Well done Meghan you are awesome at your job

The Big Apple is so vast, dynamic, and attraction-packed that it can be challenging for visitors to know where to start. Luckily, New York City tours take the guesswork out of exploring this almost limitless city. Find your footing—even if it's sky-high—when you soak up the cityscape from the top of the Empire State Building or One World Observatory, or get a new angle when you cruise the New York Harbor (and greet Lady Liberty up close). From helicopter flights and hop-on hop-off bus passes to neighborhood walks, there are almost endless ways to discover—and fall in love with—New York.

People Also Ask

What are the best tours in New York City?

Are guided tours in New York City worth it?

Yes. New York City is jam-packed with exciting things to see and do, which can make it overwhelming to explore on your own. NYC tours help you experience the things that make the city so famous, from walking tours through famous neighborhoods to sightseeing cruises, museum admission passes, and food tours.

Per one customer who booked the Private Central Park Pedicab Tour, “Jade was an excellent guide! It was chilly outside but the blanket was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and entertaining!”

How much do New York City tours cost?

Prices vary widely by activity. Self-guided tours can cost as little as US$4, while private sightseeing tours can cost over US$1,000. Most tours fall somewhere in between. In general, expect to pay more for tours that include admission tickets, food and drinks, or transportation.

On the lower end of the price range, you can book tours such as 3+ Hours of Friending & Fun as a Local New Yorker (US$4 per person), a social event that will help you make new friends through activities such as card games in a cozy café. Pricier options include VIP tours, such as a Private Driving Highlights Tour of New York (Full Day) at around US$2,500 per group (up to 12). The private itinerary is customizable but can include such highlights as Central Park, the Empire State Building, the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, and Brooklyn Bridge.

What do you see on New York City tours?

NYC tours are as diverse as the city itself. Choose from sightseeing tours that highlight popular Midtown attractions like the Empire State Building and Chrysler Tower; walking tours through the cobbled streets of SoHo and Greenwich Village; or tours that take you into other boroughs like Brooklyn and Queens. You can also prebook admission tickets to top attractions like the 9/11 Memorial Museum, Edge Observation Deck, or SUMMIT One Vanderbilt. No matter what you choose, a tour can give you a better sense of all that New York has to offer.

Consider an all-day tour to visit as many attractions and landmarks as possible. For example, the New York in One Day Guided Sightseeing Tour takes you past the 9/11 Memorial, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, and other attractions. Plus, you’ll ride the Staten Island Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

How many days in New York City is enough?

What is the best month to visit New York City?

Late spring (May–June) and early fall (September–October) are nothing short of magical, when temperatures are mild and rain is unlikely. Though winter is cold, it’s worth bundling up for quintessential NYC events like the Thanksgiving Day Parade or ice skating at Rockefeller Center. Summer tends toward hot and muggy, but is ideal for visiting Coney Island, taking sightseeing cruises, or visiting rooftop bars.
