Uns gefielen alle drei Teile des gebuchten Pakets hervorragend. Das Englisch/Amerikanisch des guides war auch für uns Deutsche sehr gut verständlich. Für die Führung hatten wir zunächst Bedenken, da es direkt davor anfing zu schütten. Der größte Teil fand dann spontan unterirdisch bzw. im neuen Bahnhof statt, sehr flexibel also. Am Museum gab es für unsere Gruppe eine fast lane, so dass wir direkt hineinkamen, was uns angesichts langer Warteschlangen natürlich erfeute.

Goede ontvangst, mooi op schema, perfecte timing, goede interessante rondleiding, indrukwekkend. Franstalige gids de al jaren in NY woont, soms een beetje moeilijk te verstaan wegens haar accent, maar wel goed gegidst.

Tour was wat langdradig, kan beter ingevuld worden, museum en observatory zijn zeker de moeite waard enkel jammer dat het observatory niet een buiten/rooftop gedeelte heeft.
