See the FRIENDS NYC sets and photo ops, from Monica and Rachel’s kitchen to the orange couch, in a capped one-hour ticket.
“Was amazing! Plenty of time and opportunity to take pictures and have them taken. Great sets, a highlight of our trip for sure! If you don’t like it, just “pivot” your way out!”
See New Orleans your way on a hop-on hop-off double-decker bus with live English narration, big stops for top sights, and flexible pacing.
“Due to the small street of New Orleans this bus was only able to drive around the outskirts of town. It took us across town which is what we wanted to see so it served its purpose. But I think it was too expensive. Would not do this tour in this city again.”
Air-conditioned coach tour pairing Honolulu highlights with Pearl Harbor's USS Arizona Memorial, plus optional USS Missouri and Hangar 79 upgrades.
“Very well done. My father served in Hawaii in WWII, so it was an emotional experience for me. This is something that all Americans should see.”
Boston whale watching from Long Wharf on a fast, comfy cruise with outdoor decks and New England Aquarium naturalists.
“Honestly I could not sell this experience more! It was such a cool experience in Boston and a great way to spend the first half of our day. The guide and staff on boat did all they could to get us some whale sightings and they had such great knowledge about them. Was really cool to learn so much about them! We saw two humpback whales in the end (Fern and Rocker) and it was such a surreal experience and I could not recommend more! The guides also come throughout the boat during the journey to and from Boston and give you some details, allow you to ask any questions…”
Top of the Rock delivers big Midtown skyline views from three decks at Rockefeller Center, plus an optional BEAM lift.
“It is great for the views and you can take in NYC. But, if like us you go for sunset, then you’ll fight for a spot at the top where there are clear views. There are other viewing points which are fine to look through but your photos will suffer. There are small gaps you can put a camera in or around but limited.”
A guided 5-hour Pearl Harbor and Honolulu tour from Waikiki, with ferry access to USS Arizona Memorial and WWII exhibits.
“Oli picked us up near our Hotel and immediately made everyone feel like Ohana (family). Oli not only transported us with care and expertise, he also amazed us with heart-warming stories and tales of the area. The Historic Tour of Honolulu added to our Pearl Harbor experience. He was ON TIME and made everyone feel important and like Ohana. Plus on the way home, he helped everyone get as close to their destination as possible, even with road closures for a parade. Thank you, Oli, for an amazing experience!!”

Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
