  We thoroughly enjoyed the entire day. The historical information and hundreds of interesting facts about the attractions we visited and NYC provided hours of delight. We could not have seen and learned so much or done that much in one day without our guide. But we were not rushed and spent time at each place. Highly recommended by us. Also I called the number on our voucher 3 times to ask silly questions and a human answered immediately and answered all questions.
