What are people saying about New York City

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt Experience Ticket

Debbie_B, May 2026

A must do experience!!

When you arrive you have your photograph taken. At the end they use this photo with different backgrounds giving you a chance to buy it at the end. So, make an effort, brush your hair and smile!!! Don’t wear a dress or skirt as there are so many mirrored floors! Check out some poses before you go.

9/11 Memorial Museum Admission Ticket

Chris_C, May 2026

So Moving

If like me you remember vividly that dreadful day or even younger generations that are aware. This is a must visit whilst in New York. The museum is really moving and has exhibits ranging from personal items, destroyed fire trucks, and testimony from those that were there that day. I found the experience extremely moving and the site where the Towers once stood with the names of those that died displayed wrapped round and poignant memorial and reminder to us all that we should never forget.

First time to New York

Loved this tour! Our guide was great and extremely knowledgeable about the city and its history. While it is a lot of walking, it really didn’t feel like it. Make sure you check the weather and dress appropriately. It was cold and we battled rain on and off. Having said that, it was 100% worth it! We also purchased the One World entry and it was not disappointing.

Debbie, the tour guide is energetic and connects with all on board while she announces and explains each place of interest.

Sunset Tour of the Manhatton Skyline and Statue of Liberty

First class tour with magnificent views of the New York skyline and the Statue of Liberty. The tour guide, Alexis, was fantastic, informative and witty making the whole experience even better. Would highly recommend and try to get Alexis as your tour guide as she makes what would have been a good trip, truly excellent.

Don’t hesitate to book this tour!

Such a fun and informative tour! Our tour guide Jorge and driver Rafael were excellent - we learned a lot of history and fun facts and Jorge had a great sense of humour too. This is our third time in NYC - it was amazing to experience the ‘real’ New York and see the places tourists don’t normally go to.

Day trip to Washington from New York

Neil_W, Mar 2026

Fantastic

Excellent trip and well worth it. We had David as our tour guide who was fantastic and had a wealth of knowledge. He was giving history from the start of the trip. Coach was nice and comfortable and we had Enrique as the driver who got us there in good time, safely with a stop off once each way. We were not too sure on booking this tour due to the long day, but glad we did. Highly recommend A+

Niagara Falls 1 Day Tour from NYC with Maid of the Mist Boat Ride

Awesome All Day Experience

Wonderful experience. We left Times Square at 4am in front of the Lids store on 7th ave near W. 47th St. We met Roberto and the trip each way took 7 1/2 hours. We stopped twice each way. We have been on many excursions where the guide talks all the time and doesn't let us rest, or go where we want. Roberto told us where to go and whet time to be done. He also told us where the best spots for pictures were. You must take the Maid of the Mist tour. It was an humbling experience feeling the power of the falls. The view was fantastic.
