The main building at 1000 Fifth Avenue, along the Museum Mile on the eastern edge of Central Park on Manhattan's Upper East Side, is by area one of the world's largest art museums. The first portion of the approximately 2-million-square-foot (190,000 m2) building was built in 1880. A much smaller second location, The Cloisters at Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan, contains an extensive collection of medieval European art, architecture, and artifacts.

Then, we will have a panoramic tour of lower Manhattan, where we will make our first stop at St. Paul's Chapel, a U.S. National Historic Landmark, to see one of the few places in NYC where you can see the tetragrammaton Jehovah's name (g04 1/22 p. 3) Later we will visit the 9/11 Memorial. If time permits, we'll take the Staten Island Ferry.

Wonderful trip. Bus was comfortable, tour guides were phenomenal, hotels chosen were comfortable, clean, & had great breakfast choices. The company was excellent at addressing our specific rooming needs as well. I will say the fast paced intensity of the trip was a lot and I wish I’d fully understood that when choosing which length of tour to take. It felt like constantly trying to squeeze in as much as possible, resulting in a teaser or sampling of many things & not fully experiencing any. There were some things I’d have loved to see more of & things that I could’ve gone without. But I do believe this particular shorter tour is designed that way. So I recommend other travelers take that into serious consideration when choosing a tour. Also- each bethel tour needs its own entire day (at the very least)..I cannot stress this enough! Spending 2-3 hours on each tour is 100% not possible. If you plan on touring bethel that way, plan on moving VERY quickly & missing a lot. (Because HUNDREDS of other people are also touring the bethel facilities at the same time) I took an TON of pics of exhibits on my phone. Since then, I’ve been going back to look at them, zooming in to read the descriptions on the exhibits & enjoying them that way. So thankful they let us take pictures, because I’d have missed 80% of it if I didn’t have pictures. However, even the fraction of the tours I got to enjoy in person- such an uplifting experience. I’ve never left a vacation feeling like I was leaving a new family and home…until now. I will treasure these memories forever and highly recommend these tours!
