Everything was perfect—very simple and efficient. We arrived early and got in right away; no lines, no problems. They didn’t ask for any ID, though they did check our backpacks, and then we went through an airport-style metal detector. Even the ferries to and from Ellis Island and Liberty Island were fast—it’s impossible to go wrong; everything is super organized.

An unforgettable experience in every way. Let's talk about the view—it's a real feast for the eyes, and there's nothing quite like the sheer joy of seeing New York in all its glory.

Empire State Building is way more than just a observation point! It´s a museum, with multible exhibitions and scenes. From the building of Empire State to the movies it has been a part of. The most famous is King Kong from the early 1930´s. The Observation deck gives you a perfect 360 degrees view of Manhattan and New York, and it´s truly spectacular!

The visit was easy without a wait at all since the weather wasn't that great. We were told ahead of time that there wouldn't be a view due to the cloud cover but we still enjoyed being up in the clouds. It was beautiful without a view so I imagine on a clear day it would be amazing.

I was able to get the tickets online very quickly; it was really easy to pay for them online. They were emailed to me right away. And finally, the visit to the Empire State Building—even though it’s an old building, I really loved the organization and, of course, the spectacular views.

Everything went really well, but we crossed over to Elíse Island, and when we wanted to come back, we had to wait over an hour for the ferry. It was so cold that we all froze. Aside from that, everything else was wonderful.
