Fly over Manhattan by helicopter with recorded narration, prime landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and Central Park, plus Broadway at night.
“I have been on helicopters before so we did it so our lads could experience it. The recorded description was not in sync with the location of the helicopter, which was poor. The overall flight though and views were the main attraction.”
Step into Central Perk, Monica and Rachel’s kitchen, and the orange couch for a photo-heavy, limited-crowd Friends Experience in NYC.
“All the staff were amazing and so kind it’s not rushed at all you can take as long as you like in each section and the staff also take as many pictures as you like also”

Go City New York Explorer Pass lets you pick 2 to 6 top sights, including The Edge, with phone entry and a 30-day window.
“This ticket will only add stress to your trip.Very poor and late responses from the tour staff as well. You need to use the go city pass yet your confirmation code is incorrect and you therefore are unable to get the go city pass and pre book activities like Empire State Building etc which are most popular. If you want to be confused then buy it.”

“My mom and I really enjoyed our tour today. Erika was our guide. She was very enthusiastic and knew a great deal of history about New York. She tailored the tour to our group. We wanted to see the Chelsea market, so she made a stop there and took us in. She was happy to spend as much or as little time in each location and gave us plenty of time to take pictures. Our driver Oscar was amazing. He navigated the busy streets so well and was very agreeable to whatever plan we came up with.”
Keep moving through New York
