Doing what: New York Harbor Hop-on Hop-off Cruise including 9/11 Memorial Ticket

Excellent. Catamaran was comfortable - guide was excellent and informative. Kept to their schedule. Dropped off close to 9/11 memorial which was a sobering experience. Offered plenty photo opportunities to see the Statue of Liberty. Incredible value for money and an excellent way of seeing New York.

Doing what: The New York Pass

Definte must do, the day you pick up the pass, tear out off the activies that you want to do, book them if you need to, some of the activites need to be pre booked, a definite must do is Radio City, 911, Rockafellar tour, I wish that they sent out the book to you before you arrived so you can pre book and arranged what activies you want to do, also NBC tour was great, theatre walking tour amazing.
