    This is a must do when visiting…..From start to finish this is a special way to see NYC. The experience is in my opinion is class, allowing you to get perspective on the entire city. So so much is packed in it dares to inspire you.
    Our pilot was professional yet personal.

    Niko was a wonderful and informative host on his carriage ride! He stopped and took pictures of our family, offered carrots for us to feed the horse and checked in with us frequently to ensure we were comfortable. He was prompt and so very courteous. Great experience to see everything lit up!

    Magical Christmas Lights Tour is the perfect name for this occasion. Because it really was the most magical thing that we have done during our trip in NYC. It was definitely something special and we loved it. Our company was so responsive and they were always in touch with us related to the trip. We know who’s the driver where we are going to meet and all necessary information. Our driver was a gentleman. He was very kind and very polite to us. It was impressive.

    Great experience, with beautiful views over the Hudson river and Manhattan. The staff were very professional and helpful, and all safety checks were very efficient.

    The helicopter tour was a surprise birthday present for my daughter's 18th birthday and my goodness it was utterly amazing.
    I have, and will continue to highly recommend this company to my family & friends. The pilot was so friendly and informative, spending the whole time talking to us and pointing out the sights, we really didn't want it to end.
    We will certainly return one day and experience this again.

    Note for future guests: most of your time will be spent travelling in the coach but it is what it is, the experience of Niagara Falls itself (only 2 hrs or so) was worth it, although I think the instructions from the tour guide could be clearer as not everyone speaks the same language or even hears the instructions when we were walking around.

    A great experience and a great history of New York and the ride at the end was well worth it. Nice to get out of the cold but not in a boring museum

    We had 6 day all inclusive passes for our family of 4, spending $1200 on them. Having disabilities I’m a meticulous planner so arranged our days and had scheduled everything into sensible chunks eg statue eg liberty in the morning and 911 memorial & 1 world in the pm as they are located near each other to minimalise travel.

    This can work well but most attractions can’t be pre booked, meaning as was the case with top of the rock we had to turn up and collect tickets for the next available slot which was either much later in the day (8pm at 10am) or the next day. This added inconvenience and cost as we’d taken Ubers to a location specifically combine things & it necessitated additional journeys and meant we couldn’t do things as planned. We managed to get into all the attractions we wanted as we had 6 days and weren’t in the peak season, but I’d imagine that the lack of booking could be a real issue if you were here for a shorter time or in the height of summer etc.

    The list of attractions on the all inclusive is varied and really helps plan what you want to see and do. Some are seasonal & some in very remote locations so check that out before buying them based on all listed activities eg Coney Island etc closes before October half term, also some attractions are not included in both pass types so check that to avoid disappointment.

    We did some really cool things which we might not have known about if not for the passes- like the clipper sailing trip (we even got an free upgrade to the jazz sunset cruise as they cancelled the evening sailing we had booked), the 911 museum and a rooftop photoshoot - these were the absolute stars of our trip!

    Would defo recommend the passes fully (with the above warning re booking) and we would defo buy again. the email sent to us said we saved $1400 over our 6 days, so they were an absolute bargain.

    4/5 due to the lack of booking. 5/5 for value and range of included attractions.
