Rarely write a review but the Ride really exceeded expectations. I was quite hesitant at first given some of the reviews but the concept is brilliant and was the highlight of my seven year old son’s trip to NYC coming from the UK. The hosts were great, of course it’s a little cheesy but lots of fun and had us laughing out loud throughout. Been to NYC countless times but this is highly recommended if you’re on the fence and have children in tow, or just want a fun way to see NYC!
