    Great trip and probably the best thing we did whilst in New York. Very professional and organised. Great views of New York and a truly exceptional experience.

    The view was stunning. We loved it! Very accommodating company. We changed our departure time twice and it was no problem for them. We also arrived earlier than planned and we didn't have to wait, we were able to fly right away!

    we really enjoyed this as different from other tourist attractions.
    We went when it was really quiet so not sure what it would be like with crowds of people, but the staff were so friendly. I wish I asked the ladies name who showed us around most of the attraction, she was really high energy and funny.

    The films at the beginning and also on the ride made me feel quite emotional, very inspiring and a reminder that the city welcomes everyone which was a good message in the current political climate.

    We didn’t ask so not sure if there was an option; but as a suggestion, my partner is deaf so couldn’t enjoy the films as much, a lot of museums we visited had subtitles/closed captions on the media being shown.

    Really recommend this place

    We purchased the 3 day pass. Great value for money and way to explore NYC. You need to plan your day to get the most out of it. Highly recommend the bus tour to Bronx, Harlem & Queens and World Trade Centre memorial.
    When going to The Edge, you need to pay extra if you visit during "peak" times. We were not aware of this so check this before you go.

    Unforgettable sights around Central Park. Great guide, though the crowds sometimes made the experience overwhelming.

    Excellent tour, easy to find, fantastic views. Despite the windy weather it was excellent. The helicopter driver assured us that despite of the windy weather it was still safe to fly this helped put me at ease.

    Obviously this is something everyone has heard of and is on the sightseeing list when in nyc, thought when we paid it was really reasonably priced but after 20 minutes inside I realised why. This is a really tiny zoo !!!! Even with taking your time and taking loads of pictures this is only a 2 hour experience. Bear enclosure seemed very small for the bears and unlike a lot of zoos now around the world this is more zoo than conservation.

    This Horse Carriage ride offers a charming, nostalgic tour through NYC's iconic park. It's a relaxing way to enjoy scenic views, historic spots and a touch of old-world romance. It's unique experience specially for couple tourists.

    Very busy on the day. Had bought tickets beforehand but had to wait in a line for a longtime, way beyond our allocated time slot.
    Once on the ice had a lovely time, again very crowded, but beautiful place to skate.

    This trip really lived up to expectations. The horse was wonderful and the driver was very informative. Only negative was the very big step up into the carriage, which a lot of people could struggle with.
