I visited the Empire State Building on July 3, and the experience was unforgettable. The Art Deco design is stunning up close, and the exhibits—especially the King Kong gallery and construction history—made the visit feel richer and more immersive. The open‑air 86th‑floor deck delivered incredible 360° views of New York City, and even with the summer crowds, everything moved smoothly. It’s easy to see why this landmark remains one of the top attractions in the world. Highly recommended for anyone visiting NYC

Took my son on a trip. We love the Empire State Buiding. Very easy to get tickets and went right up. Didn't get photos when we went up.

Our guide, Xzeyvion A., was amazing. He was super helpful in helping us take amazing pictures while giving us all the intricate details of the summit and the building. Highly recommended.

The boat was very smooth and very enjoyable seeing the statue from afar, and the line and checking before entering was super smooth and fast. Definitely the best service💯

very nice experience, hieever I was surprised by the long lines at security. You need to arrive at Battery Park an hour before your reservation time.

What we liked most of all was that we took the time to really look at things we’d seen before but had never really noticed. And of course, Lain played a big part in that—he had an enthusiastic little story ready for every stop.

The logistics are very well organized, and the whole experience is wonderful—from the fantastic elevator to the cocktails and food, which are out of this world.

Entry was pretty smooth we unfortunately did not get to skip the line but it moved quickly. Our tour guide Alex was fabulous! He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. I loved the little known facts he shared about the art and the history of The Met. It was the best museum tour I have ever experienced.
