Loved this tour, it was a busy day with a very early start but well worth it to see the Empire State and Intrepid museum before the crowds. Heidi did a great job leading the tour. Highly recommend this!

Great tour, shame about the weather! Had tried to change this to the day before - when the weather was good!! However, the tour company had emailed to say it was okay before we left the UK but we were stood up as they did not meet this commitment and reverted to the original day- that was very disappointing as we could not make use of the 2nd day hop on hop off cruisetickets as it was our last day in NY. However, the tour is good and our guide -Heidi - made it a fun day despite the dreadful weather on that day!

The tour was spoilt by the guide, Mike._br/_ His knowledge of the tour was good, however he spoilt it by never shutting up._br/_ Weak jokes and continually making fun of people._br/_ Lots of walking and not recommended for the elderly unless they are very fit._br/_ We got so bored of the chatter that we left the tour early and did our own thing.

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Jim was a terrific guide. he had a lot of knowledge about the city and buildings. He clearly was very proud of his New York heritage and had a contaigious joyful spirit. : our family of 5 3 kids ages 10, 15, 18 enjoyed him and all of the history, knowledge he shared! Our tour was only 11 people so he was able to share a lot more with us and show us things that we didn't know we would get to see! and the VIP aspect was a nice bonus...passing lines and not standing in the cold. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TRIP!

Joe, being a true New Yorker, shared how awesome his home town is. He didnt disappoint. He put everyone at ease, and soon all became new found friends. Every question asked of him, was answered. He is very comical, and had us put on our thinking caps. I would repeat this tour for sure._br/_ Joe, truly, let the wonders of the VIP Empire Tour come to life. _br/_ Already have recommended this trip and would repeat it.

Good overall tour of New York. Very. Informative. We added the 911 Museum so we also got tickets for the water taxi and bus for two days.

We started off the morning with a stop at the Empire State Building. Definitely an amazing view and our tour guide Robin was phenomenal. She is full of information and very entertaining. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. I would highly recommend upgrading to the 9/11 museum tour and definitely plan for some time to thoroughly visit. Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend it. Just one thing though, the title of the tour is slightly misleading as it includes Statue of Liberty. By viewing only the title and not reading the details of the tour you might think a stop at the Statue of Liberty is included. But it's not. Part of the water taxi does travel by it and you can get some amazing photos of the Statue of Liberty as well as the NYC skyline!

Our guide Debbie was amazing and she was considerate of everyone taking into account the cold temps and windy day. She passed along so much more information than a typical guide and it made the tour stops even better. I highly recommend this tour.

Heidi was brillinat with this tour. Unfortunately on the morning there was 0 visability from the Empire State Building so she gave us a tour of Grand Central Terminal. Heidi also arranged for us to go back to the Empire State in our own time free of charge when the visability would be better. So kind of her. The rest of the day was brilliant we went to the Intriped Museum where Heidi was very knowledgeable and took photos for us. Then we had a boat trip to Battery Park where we went past the Statue of Liberty, then on our way to the 9/11 memorial we went past some memorial places. The Bull at Wall Street, Trinity Church where National Treasure was filmed, then saw where Hamilton and the guy who invented the steam train was buried and then onto the 9/11 memorial which was extremely sad. Heidi gave us lots of things to think about and see and I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Well worth the money. Our guide was knowledgeable and gave you a great insight into the Manhattan skyline and history of New York. It is a long day and the 911 museum is well worth a visit. After watching the dreadful events on that day, to now being there was a moving and reflective experience. A mascara warning required when watching the families tribute to those who those lost their lives.

Coming from Hawaii with only a sort time in New York we wanted a our that could cover the highlights of New York. We found that with Viator. We are planning another trip and plan to use Viator again for that city. I recommend Viator for their professionalism and organized tours.
