Fascinating evening with some fantastic views over Manhattan. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and certainly contributed to an enjoyable trip. We were slightly disappointed that all the locations were on the Hudson River side and none on the other side of the city. Also we struggled to understand why the visit to the bakery is included- it has no real relevance to the rest of the evening
