I'm booked for Oct 27 at 1600 and will be at the Crown of the Statue of Liberty at 1000 that morning.

Oh and use this site to determine the time of sunset in New York when you visit. I reckon sunset from the new WTC will be fantastic.

I'm taking mother dearest to NYC in October for a week. It's both of our first time there. As she is elderly, I was thinking of booking a full day bus tour to hit the hot spots and they claim we can "skip the line". If we like anything particular, we can go back ourselves. Does anyone have any experience with a good tour there or if this is even a good idea? Any help is greatly appreciated )

I took my parents last year. Stay was 3 days and the best thing we did was book Grays tour bus.

They have more buses so you'll cover stops quicker. Avoid all the other bus companies.

Did you book the Statue of Liberty tickets direct on their site?

I can't recommend a bus tour, but I did the boat cruise around Manhattan Island a few weeks ago which was great. Get there early so you get a seat on the top deck out the back. A hop-on hop-off bus might be good for getting around if your mother will struggle with the steps of the subway.
