GroupVerified bookingDec 20245/5Superb tour of Manhattan and the Summit at the end. Thanks to our guide Sara, who had lots of anecdotes to share with us, and was extremely dynamic throughout, despite the freezing temperature! It took about 2h30, but it was well worth it 🙂KKaren S
GroupVerified bookingDec 20245/5The tour prior to the observation deck was great. Very knowlegdable guide who had great information about architechture and history of NYC. The lines at the observation deck were very long despite a "reservation". It took about 90 minutes in multiple lines.
Discover New York City from two extraordinary perspectives in one seamless combo.
