My 5 year old grandson had a awesome time. I got to see King Kong and was able to pretend the cars and buses were matchbox cars.

Statue of Liberty trip did not disappoint, arrived early at the battery park , signs everywhere so that was helpful. Ferry was quick and easy. Weather was cold but is February in NY. We still had a beautiful clear day to see everything. Empire State Building was amazing as well, we went to 86th floor and we were able to go outside. Cold but worth it. Great experience overall.

The buses were plentiful & a great relief at the end of a long day. We used the service several times and finished our adventure with a sunset trip along the Hudson River back to 50th street. The pre book at Empire State Building was stress free & we got right in with little wait. Will definitely suggest this to everyone I know ... We Love NYC!!

Enjoy a memorable day exploring New York’s top attractions, including the Empire State Building, without the stress of planning your commute.
