Excellent
Our guide Tony was exceptional!!!! 👏🏽 👌🏽 🙌🏽 He was professional, knowledgeable, and provided the best customer service we experienced throughout the week we were in New York. We visisted New York about 10 years ago and this tour hit all the spots we wanted to see/revisit. We loved and appreciated that it was a small group tour, which provided us an opportunity to really ask questions and enjoy our tour, and it was a great price for everything we saw and did. The van was clean and comfortable, with a positive vibe and atmosphere. Give Tony a raise and have him train other tour guides!!!!! Thank you, Tony, for a wonderful time in New York. ~The Williams Family from Texas
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your feedback! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the service we've provided! We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!

Wrong excursion day trip in New York
Catherine the tour guide turned up a half hour late We went to Wall street which was not part of our tour Catherine demanded money for three entrance fees which was not part of our original booking I refused to pay over 400 Dollars She then got greedy and asked for a 45 dollar tip we paid this so called service charge we then left the trip we will be contacting Trip Advisor as to why we were sent on the wrong day trip in New York
Response from the operator: We apologize for any misunderstanding you may have about the cost of the tour. Please allow us to make the following explanations: Regarding the optional items and service charges, the website already provides clear disclosure. Please read the relevant terms carefully.During the tour, the guide will again explain the details to guests. For the selection of optional attractions, we have always adhered to the principle of voluntariness and the guides have never forced anyone to buy tickets or visit attractions. Only after the guests have signed the Supplementary Agreement do we arrange the optional items. This practice not only demonstrates our respect for our guests' rights, but also ensures that each guest is able to make the most appropriate choice based on their own interests and budget. Your itinerary does not include Service fee, which is recommended to be paid according to local customs. Service fee (Minimum US$15/person/day, any child/Infant reserving a seat has to pay the service fees as well). As for the late arrival of the guide you mentioned, it was caused by guests late at the first pick-up point. Despite our full preparations and reminders, there were still visitors late for various reasons. Finally, thank you for your understanding and support of our work. We look forward to the opportunity to better serve you in the future.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
New York City Fortune Tour 1-Day Sightseeing Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does New York City Fortune Tour 1-Day Sightseeing Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $106 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does New York City Fortune Tour 1-Day Sightseeing Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.
Is New York City Fortune Tour 1-Day Sightseeing Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule New York City Fortune Tour 1-Day Sightseeing Adventure?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is New York City Fortune Tour 1-Day Sightseeing Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book New York City Fortune Tour 1-Day Sightseeing Adventure?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does New York City Fortune Tour 1-Day Sightseeing Adventure start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
