Jay is super knowledgeable, and the tour is well organized. He told us many stories about the Statue of Liberty and islands. Also, he knows where and when to give us a break, especially in a very hot weather. The tour ended at Ellies island around 1 pm, so I had plenty of time to visit the museum on Ellies island afterwards.

I was able to get a pretty good seat even though I was alone. I was overwhelmed by the live orchestra and Elphaba's singing voice and I couldn't stop crying. Glinda is too honest and cute. The women's restroom is crowded, so please head to the restroom immediately during the intermission. It takes some time to enter the theater, so it's better to arrive 45 to 60 minutes before to enjoy the atmosphere of the theater and buy merchandise and drinks.

The guide shared interesting facts. The express tour is suitable for those who have earlier gone to Pier 57 and Little Island like I did. However, if time is not a constraint, you can consider the longer cruise ride as the ride is very pleasant. We had a good view of the Statue of Library.

Easy to use Klook voucher to enter. The view was breathtaking and I suppose it will be even nicer at night with the lightings and all.

1st time doing a broadway show and really enjoyed every moment. Using Klook to watch was a breeze to attend the show. Price is cheaper on Klook

The shopping method is very convenient, and there is no need to exchange for physical tickets when you arrive at the entrance. The queue for physical tickets was very long, but fortunately I bought it at Klook, which saved a lot of time. The venue is very rich and you can learn a lot of real history. It is recommended to reserve 3-4 hours for the visit. There is too much content, it is definitely worth recommending!
