“This trip is a must! You get the best view of New York City. We also visited the Empire State Building and Top of the Rock, but this was the best view by far. The rooms are very bright, and you are provided with sunglasses, which are very much needed. I would highly recommend this excursion.”

The lunch coordinated with the tour was very good. We had the roast beef. At the end of…”
