This should definitely be on your list of things to do! Beautiful view of the city and other iconic structures from the water. Guide was informative and entertaining. Drinks and food on board. Inside and outside seating. Really good experience.

Booked 2 tickets to give us a bit of flexibility on a long weekend in NY. Used it for Central Park Zoo and MoMA and really easy to use just scanned barcodes. I don’t think we got value for money on our choices so you should check that.

A really good tour that covers so many iconic spots! Our guide Dave was brilliant , there was plenty of time and opportunities for photos and asking questions

The NY pass is a great choice to see all the iconic places and save money. Can totally recommend it.

Absolutely a must if your visiting New York saves you so much money
