New York City

NYC 9/11 Memorial and Museum Ticket with Tour Options

E6862JTmarys, Sep 2026

Recommend Joan as a Tour Guide

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.

Gilded Age Mansions Tour in New York

X8992FTbilll, Sep 2026

Interesting and informative

Live in NYC and was intrigued by this walking tour to view some Gilded Age mansions and hear their stories. Care, our tour guide, was very informative and engaging. He did a great job and also had several photos of the homes and people who lived there during that time. Nice touch! We would highly recommend!

KirstyH1207, Sep 2026

Perfect sunset cruise

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!

Gilded Age Mansions Tour in New York

Fun experience

2 hours went by fast inside some buildings and outside of others. Very knowledgeable and very hospitable. Offered some Gems post tour as well. I did not watch the show but very much enjoyed the tour and history. If you have seen the show like others did they enjoyed it as well. Keyur (Care) was a joy. Recommend him.

Circle Line: 2.5hr – Complete Manhattan Island Cruise

eduft, Sep 2026

Great NYC experience!

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.

Nice cruise! Tour guide was great (:

Tour guide was great! Went on 9/13 in the early afternoon and he was very knowledgeable and funny. Boat wasn’t too busy and had good AC. Multiple Bathrooms which is also nice. Cruise went under all the popular bridges and stoped by the Statue of Liberty. The boat stopped and lingers by popular areas for good photos. Entire cruise had great views! Would recommend

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.
