America · NEW YORK CITY TOURS & ACTIVITIES
Manhattan is easy to walk and hard to plan. Build a first visit from these 15: the harbour sailing, the deck you pick for sunset, the food walk downtown, the timed tickets you cannot get on the door.

Timed-entry ticket to the 9/11 Memorial Museum, plus free access to the Memorial, Survivor Tree, and Memorial Glades.
“it's was my first time visiting after 26 years, the last time I was stood in that spot was on the 110th floor of the north tower aged 16. it was an extremely emotional visit for me and the memorial is extremely well done and raw. it was a beautiful tribute to all those innocent people who sadly lost their lives and the heros from that day.”
Skip to the 86th-floor 360-degree views, upgrade to the 102nd floor, and enjoy the Empire State Building museum plus Art Deco stops.
“Been living in NYC but never went to the observatory. It is a very nice experience for someone visiting NYC or even living here. Views from the top are really nice and you can take a lot of pictures. On the way to the observatory, there are information about Hollywood movies shot in the building. The King Kong experience they’ve created is icing on the cake. One can take amazing videos or pictures there. The facilities do not rush you through the experience. Overall 5/5.”

“The tour part is two hours, then you’re off in your own. It was pretty pricey for the service you get. We tipped him because he was working out in the cold, not because he gave amazing information. He seemed to avoid history that might be controversial.”

“It was spectacular, well organised, it's worth the money, not only because of the tour itself, but thanks to the professionalism displayed by our guider, Luis, who explained everything in detai, in a very Colombian charming way.

“Great trip to New York, saves having to line up for tickets (some things need pre-booking), the hop on hop off bus can get stuck in a bit of traffic, my tip is get off at Brooklyn Bridge stop and cut across to the World Trade Centre stop, the 4 block walk will take you 5-10mins, if traffic bad that could be 40mins+ on the bus. One World Observatory at night was amazing.”
A 2.5-hour Circle Line cruise from Pier 83 with live commentary, close Statue of Liberty views, and nonstop Manhattan landmarks for about $39.
“This trip was suggested by a New Yorker saying that it was worth your time and the guide was funny and informative, and that you got to see a lot of NYC from the water. Boy Howdy, she was right. It was absolutely up there with visiting the Statue of Liberty. The guide had lived in the area for his whole life, so he knew things that were historical and entertaining. You could hear him over the loud speakers clearly whether you were inside or outside, and he was funny. Personally, I would do the 2.5 hour cruise over the 1.5 hour cruise because you saw way more and it…”
A private pedicab tour of Central Park’s top sights, movie locations, and historic landmarks, with photo help and warm blankets.
“We had a great time with the guide he was extremely knowable and took us to all the main sites in the park would recommend this trip worth the money.”
