Headout is awesome! The interface works so user friendly, and I could save some bucks with the discounts as well. What else would I need. Also, I can now explore more based on suggestions from Headout. I love it.

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.

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.

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.

The Edge viewing area offered a different vantage point than Empire AND One World. It is very well staffed, there is no breakfast option up there, which would have been nice. Grest views on NJ, Mid Town, etc. MOMA is MOMA, one great exhibit after another....again, well/professionally staffed.

I aspected a lot, but everything went over. The atmosphere was very intimate and intense. Everything is explained perfectly, and the exhibitions bring you really into the 9/11. Thank you for this amazing opportunity, I learned too many things
