There was nobody on duty when I first walked into this agency, but a consultant soon emerged from the back office.
On hearing my enquiry, the consultant picked out Inghams cities brochure, but pointed out that new brochures would be out soon.
She said I would pay about £600 for a four-day break in New York this year. She said it was pointless to wait until the last minute to get a bargain as this did not happen too often with city breaks.
The consultant had been to New York and was very enthusiastic about the city. She suggested we take a helicopter ride and visit the Empire State Building for the views, but said the Liberty Island tour was over-priced and it would be better to do it ourselves.
She told me about the airport bus service and the most convenient tourist office.
Although New York has a reputation for being violent, she assured me she did not feel intimidated.
Excellent service from a very knowledgeable and friendly consultant.
