Highlighted reviews from other travelers
This was absolutely unreal, we went at 5pm and I think it’s the best thing we did, the sun had set but you could still see a sunset in the distance and the skyline of New York at night is honestly something else this was such an amazing and surreal experience
Really enjoyed it - very easy to book and use tickets
