• 1Don't do it.

  Very rushed thru the whole excursion. Incorrect ending location given. Was supposed to end at either 9/11 Memorial Museum or One World Trade Center. We were provided tickets to see the Museum and Trade Center. Instead, we had a strict 15 minutes to walk around the outside only and were returned to the start of the tour and couldn't see the 9/11 Museum or the World Center. The tickets were only for 1 p.m. Very disappointing! We then had to pay $60 for a ride to our hotel when we were within walking distance of the Memorials. Don't do it.

  We enjoyed this tour from start to finish. Loved the guide and his “lame jokes”(as he claimed them). The bus itself was excellent! We had good co tourists.

Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.
