The observation deck at Summit One Vanderbilt in New York City is an amazing experience! You get a 360-degree panoramic view of the city, including skyscrapers, Central Park, and the Hudson River, which you can't get anywhere else. The highlight is the glass floor that makes you feel like you're floating in the sky, and the beautiful interior lighting adds to the special experience. This is a great place to take beautiful photos and experience the grandeur of NYC!

I had a seat at the very back, but I was able to see it well. The costumes and the performance were wonderful, and it was a spectacular performance! It's a little pricey, but it's definitely worth it! The seats are a little narrow, so I recommend bringing less luggage with you.

A very interactive visit to the summit, be prepared that it’s really bright in there so you will have to wear their shades, if you prefer you can bring your own shades too! but it’s really pretty to take sights of NYC from up there 🇺🇸 since it’s glass floors, girls do try to wear jeans and avoid skirts or dresses

Great. lots of interesting pieces spanning from pre 1900 to 2000s. Very convenient location as well near Broadway and there's a Halal food truck nearby for lunch. this is single entry only so once you exit you can't come back but there's a museum cafe.

convenient and safe way to travel New york. the tourist are just very near on the bus stops. waiting time may be 15-20mins. app is very easy to use you can track the buses and theres a picture of the bus stops. if u are taking this do not include in the itinerary thr statue of liberty and the brooklyn bridge since it requires too much time of walking and if you have one day you wont be able to do most stops.

The tour guide, Allen, was very knowledgeable and could tell us nice stories related to the attractions we visited. He also arranged one more stop for us to admire the beautiful night of New York City. But it actually needed two more days to visit the attractions, one day was too rush for us.
