I had trouble booking through the official website due to multiple error messages. So, I switched to New York Tickets, and the process was much easier and cheaper. I highly recommend using New York Tickets.

I loved that the ticket was available for our first event. When we were here years ago, we had to pick up the tickets and have them validated. Technology has really made this part great! It was easy to get there and go. We enjoyed the Islands very much!

The organization was good but the weather was awfull and as it was our last day in New York, we could not rebook for another day. So it was not remarkable, but certainly unforgetable.

I really enjoyed our guide Guillermo, who is a font of knowledge and reenacting that beautiful iconic scene sitting on the beam overlooking glorious Manhattan was incredible. I highly recommend it to everyone.
