Big Apple Helicopter Tour of New York
New York City, New York
My Rating

What an experience! Would do it again. Only disappointment was that the flight is over too quickly. A lot to see in such a short time. The pilot was friendly (Czech) and informative. Tried to get many photos but difficult when sitting in the middle of others doing the same. Got some video as well but limited due to seating in the coptor. nevertheless a great experiuence and one everyone going to NYC should consider.

New York Dinner Cruise
New York City, New York
My Rating

This was even bretter than the helicopter ride we did earlier in the day because it was spread over 3hours (7-10pm). The meal on board was ok but stanadrad for this type of cruise. The feature of the cruise was the spectacular nigfht views of Manhattan, New Jersey and Brooklyn Bridge
The staff on board were helpful and the service was excellent. The band was ordinary but after a few drinks most got up to dance and sing. We consider the experience well worth the cost and would recommend when in NYC to do this cruise. The ship was clean and roomy and a most memorable trip.

6-Day Ultimate East Coast Tour by Private Plane: New York City, Washington DC, Niagara Falls, Toronto & Pennsylvania Amish Country
New York City, New York
My Rating

6 days of go go go!. We were up every day at 6am for either to catch a jet plane, a bus transport or ready to do another tour. The days were long and we were forever in and out of aircrafts, buses and hotels BUT what an experience. The tour guide Alexi was brilliant and his aim was to see that we saw as much of NYC, Niagara Falls, Canada, Harrisburg and Lancaster, and Eashington DC that we could. And we did! The tour group was mostly people from Holland but they spoke English to us and made us feel part of the tour.There was 15 of them and us two Australians.
Niagara Falls was so spectacular and the added tours we went on enabled us to see both sides of the Falls - US and Canada. The US side is better as you are right at the edge of the falls. Toronto and the CN tower and Parliament Building worth seeing. The trip to Pennslyvannia and the Hamish county was very educational. Washington was just Washington - the Smithonian Museums were huge and too many to visit in the time we had but glad we saw what we could. The Arlington Cemetery and memorials to Lincoln, Martin King, the war veterans were something to see. A visit to George Washingtons Plantation at Mt Vernon was also a treat. All in all we had a wonderful time and this trip was great value for money. The hotels (Hilton and Sheraton) where we stayed were first class. A first class trip and great value - highly recommended.

The shuttle from Newark airport in New Jersey was there waiting for us and took us to our NYC hotel. It was an awesome drive seeing NYC for the first time. Courteous drivers and well priced.

We were so glad we booked the Shuttle before leaving Perth as on arrival in LAX after the 14 hour flight from Sydney no one wants to land in LA and start searching for transportation. The shuttle terminal was exactly where it said it would be and after a short wait the bus arrived and took us to Long Beach where we stayed for two days to recuperate. We got the shuttrle back to LAX after two days and again it was there on time. No traffic hassels and reasonabley priced.
