Absolutely great booking experience. I ordered three tickets for the observation desk at the Empire State Building N.Y. The price was 50 USD cheaper than the official price. However, my ordered time slot had to be changed. The communication with the customer service was speedy and efficient. So no worries. Looking forward to our trip. Thank you passforless!
