This is the second time I've booked this tour which says a lot. The first time was for a solo trip, and this second time was bringing around family. The Tour guide Jay was amazing as he shared a lot of history about the islands and the statue and was very fun and enthusiastic as well.

Tour was a quick way to catch a glimpse of DC from NY. The departure was timely, ride was safe and Bryan was a fantastic guide throughout. He kept us informed, entertained and comfy. I would give 6 stars if I could! The timing can be a bit tight and early, but you will live :)

Great 4.0
Our JAL flight arriving in New York from Haneda was delayed by about 3 hours, so we had to cancel our originally planned Top of the Rock tour. We booked this tour very last minute instead. It was our first time in New York, but we were able to get a great overview of the city's scenery. We were able to make great use of the 30,000 yen in points we got at Klook's Harajuku event this time. Thank you so much, Chieru-san and Ryukru-san.

Here’s a polished and natural-sounding tourist feedback in English: I joined the New York–Boston one-day tour during this trip, and our tour guide was Yorika-san. Her explanations at each sightseeing spot were very detailed, informative, and well organized. She was also very attentive to the needs and situations of the tourists throughout the trip. In addition, she took the time to chat warmly with individual travelers and shared a lot of helpful information, which made the experience even more enjoyable and personal. If I visit New York again in the future, I would definitely love to join another tour led by Yorika-san. Thank you very much for such a wonderful experience.

This tour ended up being just for me, as no one else showed up. I was very lucky! The guide was extremely familiar with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which made navigating it very comfortable. Their explanations were thorough, and I'm truly glad I took this tour.

The New York City Landmarks and Iconic Sights Tour is an exceptional, well-paced introduction to the city, elevated significantly by guide Tony, whose deep local knowledge, sharp wit, and engaging storytelling bring every corner of the Big Apple to life. The itinerary hits all the must-see highlights—including Grand Central Terminal, Wall Street, the 9/11 Memorial, Rockefeller Center, and views of the Statue of Liberty—without feeling rushed or overwhelming. Tony's seamless navigation, attentiveness, and knack for sharing fascinating NYC trivia make the entire experience smooth, entertaining, and highly memorable for both first-timers and returning visitors alike.

Sammy, our guide and driver, was fantastic — accommodating, friendly, and even volunteered to take pictures for us. Jonathan, our other driver, was just as helpful. Beautiful weather made the day even better, and the boat cruise up close to the falls was the highlight — truly unforgettable. Well organized, never rushed, and a great experience overall. Highly recommend this tour, especially with the cruise included. We'll definitely recommend it to friends and family!

Had an amazing time exploring Washington, DC and Philadelphia! The tour was a great way to see two historic cities in a short amount of time. From the iconic landmarks and monuments in DC to the historic streets and sites of Philadelphia, every stop was worth it. The itinerary was well-organized, the experience was smooth, and it was definitely a convenient way to explore both cities without having to plan everything on my own. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the East Coast, especially first-time travelers!
