New York City Sightseeing Tours
Bus, Helicopter, Cruise, Walking Tours, Day Trips, Package Tours

A professionally guided sightseeing tour is a fun and informative way to experience New York City.

Spend one, two or three days on the Hop-on, Hop-off Double-decker Bus Tours combined with a New York Harbor Cruise and/or Helicopter Tour and you will see more of and learn more about this exciting city than you could in weeks on your own.

New York City Bus Tours

My wife and I combined the All Loops Double Decker Bus Tour with a Helicopter tour on a three day visit to NYC and saw more, learned more and got more great photographs than we had when we lived there for two full years in the '70s.

New York City Cruises

On another trip my family and I took the full island cruise around Manhattan which I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a really relaxing and enjoyable way of learning about and seeing a lot of New York in a few hours. Additional options include shorter tours, night tours, sailing cruises and speedboat tours.

Stretch Limo Tours of Manhattan

If the big bus tours are not your style you may prefer a Private Stretch Limo Tour around Manhattan.

Day Trips and Coach Tours

Delve into the Food and Culture of Brooklyn or get out of town for a day to Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia and Amish Country or an all day shopping trip to colonial Woodbury Common Outlets on a Day Trip or Coach Tour.

NYC Walking Tours — Shopping, Neighborhood, Club/Pub

NYC is the fashion and shopping capital of the nation. Shopping Tours can provide an insiders connection into the best bargains and neighborhoods while both Walking Tours and Shopping Tours provide an up-close intimate experience in New York.

‘Sex and the City’and ‘Sopranos Sites’ tours are two of the most popular tours. Financial District, Greenwich Village and Theater District neighborhood tours and Chelsea, East Village and Hell's Kitchen Pub Crawl tours make you feel like a native New Yorker. Visit the Empire State Building, the Fashion District and Times Square on the ‘Up, Down and Sideways’ walking tour.

New York City Helicopter Tours

We give you several ways to see New York City as well; from above in an exciting helicopter tour, from the comfort of an enclosed air-conditioned or heated motor coach, the top of an open air double-decker bus, the water that surrounds Manhattan on a ferryboat or speedboat or on a walking tour.
