This package deal was completely worth it! Enjoyed the Downtown Loop, Empire State visit and Liberty/Ellis Island Ferry. Wanda at Big Bus NYC Stop 1 took care of booking our Empire and Ferry dates. Don’t bother using the online “manage your booking” for the Empire State. That online feature doesn’t work. Just book your Empire and Ferry at Stop 1. We enjoyed this package!
