The explanation before the viewing was very advanced. I liked it very much. The outdoor view is also great. You can overlook the entire New York and the Hudson River from the 100th floor.

Our guide Jay contacted us beforehand to dress appropriately for the cold weather. Despite the cold winds, he shared stories on the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Overall, it was a good tour despite the crowds of people and the cold.

Truly enjoyed this tour with Allan! He is knowledgeable and threw in really interesting facts and fun bits about NYC, Washington D.C. and the cities we drove past during the tour—that made it all the more worth it. Itinerary was well planned and I thoroughly appreciate the punctuality too. It was a medium-sized group (only 11 of us), so it was very easy to crowd-control! Would highly suggest trying this out if you wanna explore DC’s best attractions!!!
