What travellers are saying
- James H19 contributionsCant see how anyone can complain about a free ferry really. Its totally free and your told buy security when you get there not to queue up yet people still do. You get great views of statue liberty also. Lots space once you get on . I did statue liberty tour also which is well worth doing but this is just nice extra. If you not got budget to do statue liberty tour id say do it this way as you will get a good view of it.Written 18 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- James H19 contributionsStaff where so friendly and helpful and was not that busy. I got great views and pictures. Well worth going on it but go at right times id say not during rush hour.Written 18 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jim GSaint Louis, MO725 contributionsWe took one round trip and a one-way trip on the MMTS subway. It was clean, efficient and economical and, friends’ warnings notwithstanding, a pleasant way to reach our destinations. We even had to wait for contractors to clean the seats before the trip started. We are glad we tried the New York subway.Written 11 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- VirginiaLandloverVirginia34 contributionsu, being we were at the exit level but the driver showed up at the entry level. We used the elevator to make the quick transition up a floorWe booked a RT from LaGuardia to the cruise port and back. Prior to pickup at the airport, our driver, Charles, provided timely updates to his position, expected arrival time, along with his license plate # for identification since the vehicles were not marked. He was prompt, courteous and engaging on the trip to the cruise port. Also, a very good driver.
The pickup at the cruise port had a small snaf. I like that the drivers get in touch prior to pickup. Communication is key and NYC Perfect Transportation does it well, along with getting their customers to and from their destination in comfort and on time.Written 22 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great to talk too and hear about his city.
We had the meet and great service and this made it a breeze getting out of the airport.
We also booked Vinny for the return journey.

I wanted to offer our specific feedback regarding PATH's SmartLink cards, as out-of-towners who visit NYC once in a great while.
- SmartLink cards are much more expensive than the MetroCard cards used for NYC transit.
- MetroCard works on PATH trains.
- SmartLink does NOT work on NYC transit (MTA buses, NYC subway).
- PATH has a very limited number of stops in NYC.
As a visitor, you will likely use PATH twice a day, likely to land either at the WTC or at 33rd & Broadway, then, likely, you will walk hours because Manhattan is an awesomely walkable place, and, likely, you will wish you could take a bus back to that PATH station that is hours away.
SmartLink is good for commuters, visitors should use MetroCard.Written 19 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Megan MNorth Middletown, New Jersey, United States2 contributionsI can’t say enough about the Hop-on Hop-off Wine Tour. It was better than we could have imagined thanks to our awesome driver Clyde and guide/hype-woman, Felicia. The wineries and distillery on the tour offered a variety of drink options and most also had food which helped us make it through 6 hours of “sampling” wines. Can I get a Woo-hoo?!?Written 20 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mary W1 contributionCheema was our driver, on June 17, 2023. He arrived at Newark airport, on time, in a beautiful black Yukon GMC. The car was immaculate inside and very comfortable. Cheema was so courteous and loaded all our luggage into the vehicle. He is an excellent driver and very pleasant! He drove us to a hotel in Staten Island and it was the best experience driving in congested traffic. He is an expert and an asset to Precsion NY chauffeur service! If we travel to Staten Island again we will definitely ask for him.Written 21 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- psudinoWeehawken, NJ4,051 contributionsMy son had a day off from school so I took the day off from work and got us tickets to the Intrepid so he wasn't home all day staring at a screen. I never take the ferry across the river because the train or the tunnel (if driving) are much more convenient and cheaper. The downtown stop is a better stop closer to the action but the midtown stop is only good if you are going to Javitz or the Intrepid.
The cost is too much, the journey is on a less frequent schedule than the train and the parking at Port Imperial is also too much.
So yeah, if this is your first time or if you are a local showing someone the city, this is a nice journey. If you want in and out quickly, take a train.Written 19 September 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It traverses Rockefeller Center and just north of Times Square. The bus was on time and clean. To my surprise, the USB ports actually worked.
I prefer riding the bus over the subway.Written 11 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This will be the only limo/car service we will use in the NYC area going forward.Written 12 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA15,870 contributionsThis modern extension of the system had received a lot of publicity and it sure took a long time to build. So I was happy to ride it. Very crowded and much-used, so I guess it is much-needed. The stations are big and clean, but not well-decorated. Much deeper than other stations, so the escalators were very welcome.Written 26 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
