Worked out very well and a great visit. Need to be.clearer that to go up the statue you need to have a separate ticket or have it booked in advance. Its not par of the basic ticket

We expected that people with tickets would have a shorter wait. Unfortunately, everyone had tickets and had to wait in line for 2 hours in the sun until the security check. Then another 1 hour until we were on the ship. On Ellis Island (also with a long wait) there was little time for the exhibition and we were back in Manhattan on the last ferry at 5:40 pm. The trip to Liberty Island and Ellis Island was very nice. However, we spent a good 4.5 hours of the more than 7 hours in line.

Just wish it were easier to tell what ticket gets you inside the Statue of Liberty. I thought the one I bought was for that but was told no something about purchasing a few days in advance to get inside lady Liberty. Still had a great experience though

Working with Headout was easy on my phone. Visiting the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island was very moving and emotional. We didn't have tickets to go inside the statue, but wished we had bought them. The tickets were reasonably priced, which was a big plus for us. Everyone working with our excursion were polite and knowledgeable. It was so interesting to see how the statue was built and shipped. The enclosed pictures help to show the scale of her size.

We really liked that we could enjoy on our own. We tried the audio phones, however unsuccessfully. My husband could not hear we tried several different things but no luck. The phones were frustrating to my daughter also. I read everything for them, we really enjoyed the history. Even though the weather was somewhat uncooperative, it was a fabulous experience and we were so glad to have experienced.

It was not clear whether our tickets were also for entry to the Statue of Liberty. We wanted to walk to the top of the statue and were not allowed to. That's why we ordered the tickets. Nowhere did it say that we would not be granted entry.

Everything about this trip was great. The online booking system was fast and very user friendly. The ferry service to Liberty Island and Ellis Island was very good ( the exiting and boarding take a little time ) but overall very good. I have mobility issues and the staff were both friendly and very helpful making sure that I embarked and disembarked safely. The museum's on Liberty island and Ellis island are both very good and definitely worth taking the time to visit them. Food and drinks are available and very reasonably priced f considering they are busy tourist attractions. Highly recommend this trip for all, young and old.

When I booked the trip to the Statue of Liberty I was not told to obtain clearance to enter the statue and to climb up, at least one week in advance.

:-) Simple and clear booking. The description of the ferry (Liberty Statue) should be a bit more specific. :-( In any case, we had to queue for over 2 hours, although it was promised that you would get quick access.

Ticketing experience was easy to follow. No problems at all with that, once we got to the meeting place we were greeted and checked in, very easy process. Our tour guide, David was absolutely the best gave us so much interesting information couldn't have asked for a better experience. The only negative comment would be the long lines for the security check. Thank you!

The boat cruise through downtown NY including the Statue of Liberty is spectacular, and not to mention the ascent to the Summit, that is an otherworldly experience that in most countries can not be lived. The professionalism and punctuality of the officials in charge of the events is impeccable. Congratulations.

time to get inside to the main event took way too long. i thougt i was at disney world, not what I was expecting or cared for.. once inside the main area, everything was fine..but the lines getting to this main even was just too long and too slow for my taste

I could have spent all day on the observation deck. This experience was amazingly breathtaking. The only downside was when trying to leave. The line to exit was wrapped around twice with no clear beginning or end. There were so many people you really could not move. In the event of an emergency, it could have ended poorly. Establishing a better exit strategy will make this experience even more magical than it already was.

The access point was not clearly marked, lines to go up and down were too long, and the observation deck too crowded to enjoy. This is a recipe for sowing bad behavior among customers, and we saw that, too. We will not come back or recommend this activity to anyone else.

Seeeing the Empire State was amazing. I think it's slightly overpriced, whilst we were there8( of us) We all wanted a drink and I found the drinks and gifts completely overpriced. X

Not your fault but weather spoilt it , also could not walk on glass floor , loud school parties which I was not expecting, apart from the extra payment to climb , there didn't see much to do unlike ESB , Summit and World trade , it needs something else for the money I paid

Insane views of the city. People were nice about photos as well by not clogging up the glass. Book on a sunny clear day and you'll have the best time. Worth the money in my opinion

IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE VIEW OF NYC, the attraction starts in the elevator, I thought the projections on the walls were really cool, a mixture of technology and nostalgia. I also really liked the service and the organization, but it was a shame that the day was cloudy and the scenery was a bit spoiled. I'll definitely be back.

We expected that people with tickets would have a shorter wait. Unfortunately, everyone had tickets and had to wait in line for 2 hours in the sun until the security check. Then another 1 hour until we were on the ship. On Ellis Island (also with a long wait) there was little time for the exhibition and we were back in Manhattan on the last ferry at 5:40 pm. The trip to Liberty Island and Ellis Island was very nice. However, we spent a good 4.5 hours of the more than 7 hours in line.

There was too many people, maybe you should put some time limit. Because everyone wants to take a picture and to walk, to see the city from the rooftop. But there was a lot of people at same time on same place. We were not able to take a photo. Maybe time limit will solve this problem. Time limit of one hour

This was a great experience. Views are breath taking and there was no rushing you away. We could take out time to take in the views and get some pictures. Went at sunset and it was busy and plenty of people who didn't understand the concept of queuing for certain locations. The outside deck is on one corner but you can get inside views of the whole 360 degree surroundings. Longest queue was to get down but even that went quick quick. Can definitely recommend

Visiting One World Observatory was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped into the sleek and modern lobby, we knew we were in for something special. The elevator ride alone is incredible, as you watch the transformation of New York City’s skyline over the centuries in a matter of seconds. Once we reached the top, the 360-degree views were breathtaking — you can see the entire city, including iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and Brooklyn Bridge. The interactive displays and digital guides really added to the experience, giving us detailed insights into the buildings and neighborhoods we were looking at. There’s also a sense of awe knowing you're at the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, which is a remarkable feat in itself. The staff was friendly and efficient, and though it was busy, the observatory is spacious enough that it never felt crowded. We also enjoyed a snack at the café while soaking in the views, which made for a perfect break before heading back down. If you're in New York, this is an absolute must-do. It's not just about the views — it's about experiencing the heart and soul of the city from above. Highly recommend!

Working with Headout was easy on my phone. Visiting the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island was very moving and emotional. We didn't have tickets to go inside the statue, but wished we had bought them. The tickets were reasonably priced, which was a big plus for us. Everyone working with our excursion were polite and knowledgeable. It was so interesting to see how the statue was built and shipped. The enclosed pictures help to show the scale of her size.

We really liked that we could enjoy on our own. We tried the audio phones, however unsuccessfully. My husband could not hear we tried several different things but no luck. The phones were frustrating to my daughter also. I read everything for them, we really enjoyed the history. Even though the weather was somewhat uncooperative, it was a fabulous experience and we were so glad to have experienced.

It was not clear whether our tickets were also for entry to the Statue of Liberty. We wanted to walk to the top of the statue and were not allowed to. That's why we ordered the tickets. Nowhere did it say that we would not be granted entry.

Everything about this trip was great. The online booking system was fast and very user friendly. The ferry service to Liberty Island and Ellis Island was very good ( the exiting and boarding take a little time ) but overall very good. I have mobility issues and the staff were both friendly and very helpful making sure that I embarked and disembarked safely. The museum's on Liberty island and Ellis island are both very good and definitely worth taking the time to visit them. Food and drinks are available and very reasonably priced f considering they are busy tourist attractions. Highly recommend this trip for all, young and old.

We originally booked tickets for Sun evening but on arriving the weather was bad and told no view so we were easily able to change to another time.We changed to Tue 10am ,the opening slot.When we arrived at 9.50am there was already a huge queue down the street.We weren't sure whether to join it or go to the front...several other groups had the same confusion.We were allowed to go straight in as had early tickets but only because we asked..it's not very clear.Once inside there was already another large queue for security!We were abit limited for time due to all the queuing so rushed through the museum part which did look really interesting about how the building was constructed.Once at the top the view is awesome ..the lift is so fast up the 87 floors!It's all very organized,some of the staff are abit abrupt but they are trying to keep everyone moving along I guess.Large gift shop on the way out .

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Incredible Experience at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt** Our visit to SUMMIT One Vanderbilt was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with stunning views of New York City that took our breath away. The immersive experience, combining art, architecture, and technology, created a truly unique atmosphere that we won't soon forget. The observation deck offers unparalleled 360-degree views of the city, and the mirrored rooms added a surreal, almost magical quality to the experience. Each level provided something new and exciting, from the glass floor to the open-air terrace. The staff was friendly and informative, ensuring we got the most out of our visit. Whether you're a local or a tourist, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is a must-see attraction that offers an unforgettable perspective on the city. Highly recommended!

Excellent I loved it. If I could go back I would and have a coffee in the clouds. The elevator was super fast and went up more than 91 floors.

We expected that people with tickets would have a shorter wait. Unfortunately, everyone had tickets and had to wait in line for 2 hours in the sun until the security check. Then another 1 hour until we were on the ship. On Ellis Island (also with a long wait) there was little time for the exhibition and we were back in Manhattan on the last ferry at 5:40 pm. The trip to Liberty Island and Ellis Island was very nice. However, we spent a good 4.5 hours of the more than 7 hours in line.

The actual tour was perfectly organized, but I cannot say the same for the "headout" support team. Badly reviewed. How come no one picks up our phone calls for two days?!!

The experience is remarkable. The different rooms and levels just elevate this place to another level. The views all across are simply stunning and remarkable. It's probably now the best view point in New York City.

Truly an unforgettable experience! The Summit Vanderbilt offers one of the most panoramic and stunning views of Manhattan. Sharing that breathtaking skyline with my love on my 55th birthday made the moment even more extraordinary. A spectacular way to celebrate!

The whole experience was so well organized. And so unique! The excitement started in the elevator, and continued through to the reflection room, the sphere room, and the levitation room! And the outdoor deck provides an alternative, peaceful, end to the experience! The unique experience would I believe put it "a level above" any other usual observation deck experience.

Seamless ticketing experience but the entry to battery park was closed and hence had to go round and round before catching the ferry..

I was 5 years old again, all my happy hormones went into overdrive. Totally awesome!!! Wonderful. The only thing I would have liked was for the ticket to include 1 photo of the ones taken by the machine before going to the bar.

The levitate section was something I hadn't experienced before; scary in a good way. It was a different experience all in all which we loved. The views were amazing.
