Great 4.0
I chose to rent a bike in Central Park during my trip to New York this time, and the overall experience was very good. The rental process was simple, and you can quickly pick up the bike by making a reservation online or showing your ID on-site. The staff were friendly and would also remind you of the riding directions and route precautions in the park, which is very thoughtful for first-timers. The quality of the bicycle was also much better than I expected. The bike was clean, and the gears and brakes were smooth. There was no feeling of being stuck or unstable when riding. The roads in the park are wide and comfortable to ride on. Exercising and admiring the scenery at the same time allows you to reach different attractions faster than walking. I suggest you avoid peak hours (2–4 PM) when there are fewer people, making it more comfortable to ride. If it's your first time visiting Central Park, I highly recommend renting a bike. It saves time and allows you to see more places, making it a worthwhile experience.

A day tour to Niagara Falls from New York City is an excellent option for travelers who want a convenient, hassle-free way to witness one of the world's great natural wonders without the logistics of renting a car or booking an overnight stay. While the long journey can be demanding, the awe-inspiring experience of the falls makes every hour on the bus worth it.

the tour is worth it. but, as the one who get here from a really far country, I got lost and not following the rest of the tour once I arrived at Liberty! The tour is about fact and history, so if you want to took bunch of photos at liberty while took the picture of manhattan from accross, you should get the package for the cruise to liberty and ellis island without the tour guide. but the tour guide is definitely worth it if you want to be guided and don't spend too much time in front of lady liberty (I spent too much time there, almost 5 hrs). btw the ferry is free entry once you depart, so, you can go back with or without the guide.

I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Washington. Our tour guide, Allan, and our driver, Carlos, shared so many impressions and important information with us all. A big thank you to both of them for the super insight into the capital city. P.S. They both have a great eye for photo spots. Greetings from the late Germans 😅🤗

It was an amazing trip that exceeded my expectations. Yurika-san was a perfect guide. I was traveling alone as a woman this time, and I was so happy to join this tour, meet many people, and have great conversations. Thanks to Yurika-san, Boston has become my favorite place in the United States. The other guides were also very kind. I’m truly grateful from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much. I would love to use your company again the next time I visit the U.S.!

the tour guide was very knowledgeable about Tasmania. it was a small group tour so everyone got to interact with each other too! got to try fresh oysters as well!! it isn’t not that physically intensive as when we went for the tour there were more elderly travellers and they were also able to go through with the tour.

Brandon (tourist guide) and Manuel (driver) were absolutely amazing and super friendly. Brandon is so knowledgeable about the history of NY - including dates and small details! they made the experience so much better, so many different places to see! (wear comfortable shoes, the van has USB outlets if you would like to charge your phone, they have free water, many stops to restrooms, break for food, etc) 😊 I love my experience and 100% recommend

Although the tour was a bit pricey without any promotion and felt a little rushed since we had to cover all the spots in just one day, we really enjoyed the trip thanks to Carlos — a very energetic, humorous, and knowledgeable tour guide.
