Visit Liberty and Ellis islands by ferry with skip-the-queue access, self-guided audio, museum time, and practical New York tips.
“Amazing day! The audio guide was super easy to use and told great stories about the history. We loved being able to walk around at our own speed without a guide rushing us.”
Walk New York’s Millionaire Row with a GPS audio guide, Gilded Age mansions, Fifth Avenue landmarks, and a flexible finish at The Met.
“Better than with a live tour guide. The quality of the script is outstanding. The information is thorough, the presentation is brilliant, both enlightening and entertaining. The technical aspect is what really surprised: the GPS tracks your location and tells you to cross the street, to look to the left or to the right – it's very well done. There's no "dead time" as with a live guide when you walk from one location to the next; you are being talked to the entire time. You have the flexibility to rewind, pause and resume, answer a phone call, take a break. Game changer!”
Pick a deck, a pier, a borough or a table.
