The day after I had to cancel my visit to Top of the Rock due to a delayed arrival in New York, I was taking a morning walk toward the Empire State Building and unexpectedly noticed that the line for it was empty. I booked it right on the spot using the Klook app! I was able to enjoy the visit without a hitch. Ease of booking with Klook: Easy

Top of The Rock offers one of the most iconic, unobstructed skyline perspectives in Manhattan, widely praised for its sweeping 360-degree views that directly frame both the Empire State Building to the south and Central Park to the north. Spread across multiple indoor and outdoor viewing terraces on the 67th through 70th floors, visitors frequently note that the open-air top deck—free of glass partitions—is ideal for photography, especially around sunset when the city lights begin to glow

this is also a great experience. I got my digital picture as souvenir but it's okay not to get it. You can take pictures for 60seconds on the location where they took pictures of you. Furthermore, if you love art.. you will appreciate the mirrored design of the place. you can also see the Empire State Building

There will be seasonal adjustments to the total price, but overall it's still quite a good deal. However, buying more doesn't always mean saving more; 4-5 passes tend to be the most economical. For some cheaper museums or activities, this pass might not be necessary.

Everything went smoothly, and we learned a lot about New York’s history and landmarks. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York, especially if it’s your first time in the city. 5star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐to Susan the tour guide and the driver.

I took this Statue of Liberty Express Cruise today in New York, and honestly, it turned out to be a great decision. Initially, I was confused between this and the free Staten Island Ferry, but after watching a few YouTube videos, I realized this cruise would offer much better and closer views of the Statue of Liberty—and it absolutely did. I paid around $25, which I feel is totally worth it. Since I traveled on a weekday afternoon, the ferry was surprisingly less crowded, which gave me plenty of space and time to click photos without any rush. The cruise is very well maintained and has multiple seating options. There’s an open top deck with amazing skyline views, plus indoor decks for people who want to stay warm during colder weather. The guide was also excellent—very funny, informative, and explained New York’s skyline and nearby landmarks really well. The entire trip lasted around 45–50 minutes. Comfortable, scenic, and definitely value for money.

Loved the Aliz Hotel Times Square. It was the perfect location for our trip and so near to the Port Authority Bus Station. Sign up to be a member and receive a lovely amenity gift. You won't regret it. Thank you, Aliz, for a nice stay.
