Overview

This exclusive NYC tour is led by a local expert who will take you through the must-see highlights of the city. Ride in comfort on a luxury minibus with triple-cushioned leather seats and windows for panoramic views as New York City unfolds before you.

Your driver stays focused on the road while your guide is focused on you, pointing out landmarks and sharing stories that make each place — Little Italy, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, and more — come alive.

We’ll also enjoy guided visits on foot to Ground Zero and Central Park so you can see these iconic attractions up-close. This combo tour provides a convenient way to experience over a dozen iconic Manhattan attractions. From Chinatown to Greenwich Village to a ferry ride past Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, see it all in just six hours!
