The best tours and activities for culture lovers in New York City

Highly recommend Matthew’s Gilded Age tour! Was in NYC for my birthday and brought along a good friend to join me. Right out of the gate , Matthew was drawing all of us in to his tour with interesting and sometimes humorous stories, historical tidbits/trivia about this opulent period of time in US history…. And all the big names that were part of it.He had great visual aids via many historical photos/maps queued up and ready on his iPad to accompany his tour. In a nutshell, Matthew is clearly passionate about what he does and it shows. He has taken great care and organization to ensure an interesting and fun tour.

Great experiencing the city from the water - a boat ride plus city tour! Having the leader to describe the sites is so much better than audio tour or the like. For 1 1/2 hours, you cover so much!

Interesting tour…lots of great sights and stories from a fascinating period in New York City history.

Great 360 views of Manhattan. Enjoyed the immersive balloon exhibit. Staff was efficient and courteous

The guided tour of the museum is definitely worth the money. Joan was our tour guide and she described her personal experience on that day. She witnessed the towers burning and the collapse of the buildings. She is very passionate about 9/11 and making sure that people do not forget. She told many stories of bravery and sacrifice that day. There were items in the museum related to those stories that she wanted us to look for in the museum. I would not have realized the significance of those items unless I had taken the tour. The experience of knowing that you are in the footprint of the towers is very powerful. Highly recommend getting a tour and requesting Joan as your tour guide.

Is a MUST , if you come to New York, please visit the Summit, you will never regret the experience. is absolutely breathtaking,

This museum is a must see - you can’t help but feel emotional while viewing the many displays of heroism, bravery and stories from those affected. Very respectfully done and highly recommend visiting.

Mickey gave us a friendly welcome and on the tour she convinced with her expertise and the entertaining way in which she provided the interesting secrets of Grand Central. Definitely worth it, thanks!

Nice really enjoyed it. All that we expected and more.

Was very good. The inclusion of the provided headphones to be able to hear the guide was well thought out and much needed in the busy terminal building. I learnt a lot about the station

Decided last minute to book this trip and so glad we did. The views as the sunsets are picture perfect. Also great opportunity to see the Statue of Liberty up close. We sat at the very back on the padded seats and found this to be the best seats for seeing everything. Wrap up as it does get cold!

Fun boat trip around Manhattan. Narrator excellent. Beautiful day.. drinks available. Many decks. Affordable

We had a great time learning about ice cream and trying all the different kinds of ice cream in the museum.

We took the 2.5 hour tour on a beautiful Saturday at 1:30. Our tour guide, Andy, was so knowledgeable, interesting and funny! We learned so much about the island we would've never learned on our own. The only bad part was a family next to us talked constantly! However, for a tourist or a NY'er that wants to learn new things, this is some of the best money you could spend.

Jimmy the Guide was excellent, very witty, informative & engaged with all the group. The only minus was the sheep who graze in the graveyard weren’t yet back from pastures outside the city!

We had a good time. Very clean enough space for everyoneThe only recommendation is more personell to gently redirect clients on keeping a behavior for a spa. In the relaxation rooms and hydro treatments others screaming and talking loudly. The pools were loud too. Having people lead you in some exercises of deep breathing or relaxation would be good. Food items were good. The drinks priced ok. But would give something extra for those who buy the all day pass. I would go again but maybe during a weekday to avoid those less well behaved crowds.
