This was the highlight of our trip. The tour was pretty average but the gospel choir was inspiring and soul food was amazing.
If you are unsure of whether to do this or not, just book it!

Early access into the State Empire Building was worth the ticket price without everything else. We were the first group up in the morning and had the whole place to ourselves for about 10 minutes which allowed us to take some great photos. We went and saw the Intrepid which has the space shuttle aboard. That interested my partner more than me and the kids. We saw the Statue of Liberty from a distance but didnt bother catching the ferry out to it because it was freezing cold and you cant get off the boat anyway. We were dropped off at the 911 Memorial and left to go in by ourselves and find our own way home. There was a lot of walking on this trip which I wasnt -prepared for (and I have sore feet). The guide was really nice and very informative.

We had Marilyn on our trip. She was lovely and great with the kids but I wish she had sung less and talked more about the sites.

The package we purchased was for lunch, Madame Tussads and a Gondola ride. Lunch was lovely and Madame Tussads was fun but the Gondola ride went for less than 10 and was supposed to go for a lot longer.
