“Letter” In the ticket number - Beware
Melissa_M
, Jun 2021
I would’ve given the experience five stars but I bought five tickets for my family and one of the tickets was rejected at both locations - the Empire State building and the Circle line. Both workers at each ticket booth said the same thing -sometimes Viator makes a mistake and puts a letter in the middle of the ticket number and when they do, the ticket to comes invalid. You have to wait on line at customer service, explain the situation and get a new ticket. So look at your ticket numbers and get ahead of it before you miss your cruise! Other than that hassle it was a good experience.

Nice short tour. If you don’t upgrade to premium, you can’t go to the upper deck of the boat. Still nice on lower deck though. There’s no air conditioning on upper deck.
