★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 22 reviews · 5 hours · from $50

“Guide was late, so had us standing in the snow for half an hour longer. The weather wasn't the guides fault but we paid for a tour that was meant to include Little China and Little Italy but we didn't see those places. Also he stopped the tour at State Island Ferry and didn't tell us which ferry to get for the Statue of Liberty so we got on the wrong one, and so didn't get to see what we had paid for.”
