A Tip To Prep For Your Trip
It’s essential that all guests traveling internationally carry a valid passport book. Don’t forget to bring your passport book with you, as the passport card will not be sufficient for this trip. Please verify your passport book is up-to-date and will remain valid for the duration of your tour. It’s also a good idea to make photocopies of your passport and keep them in a separate location (like your checked luggage) from the original, just in case. Ensuring you have the correct documentation will help avoid any potential issues at customs or immigration, allowing for a smoother and more enjoyable journey.
Our Tour Staff’s Recommendation
Get into the spirit of New York City with a book! Our tour staff recommends, “Empire City: New York Through the Centuries” edited by Kenneth T. Jackson and David S. Dunbar as an excellent resource for new travelers to New York City. This anthology compiles a rich collection of essays, letters, diary entries, and poems about New York, written by both residents and visitors from the early 1600s to just after 9/11. It offers a comprehensive and engaging look at the city’s history, making it a valuable guide for understanding New York’s past and its evolution over the centuries.
