Highlights
  • New York Fun Tours - 3-Hour Tour (Lower Manhattan)

In the massive city of New York, where do you begin exploring? What should you see? Toss aside your heavy guidebooks and allow your private guide, an in-the-know New Yorker, lead the way. After hotel pickup, just sit back in your spacious SUV and enjoy the ride. You’ll be able to get out at most locations to walk around and snap pictures.

Start in the historic West Village, the former favorite haunt of New York’s bohemians and now residence to some of the city’s most influential citizens. In SoHo, pass by trendy shops and art galleries, and check out TriBeCa, site of the annual film festival, listening to informative commentary along the way.

Along Hudson River, reach the World Financial Center, where you’ll ponder over Ground Zero and admire the Winter Garden, a gorgeous multi-level barrel-vaulted glass atrium. Then catch sight of magnificent boats at cobblestoned South Street Seaport.
Cross the Brooklyn Bridge, one of the world’s first suspension bridges built in 1870, and gaze at the stunning Manhattan skyline from Brooklyn Heights Promenade. Admire another great suspension construction, the Manhattan Bridge, used by over 350,000 commuters each day.

Depending on traffic conditions, drive through Chinatown, home to the largest Chinese population in North America, and Little Italy, which boasts more than 20 historical landmarks. Learn about the neighborhoods’ rich immigration history dating from 1800 to 1965.

At the conclusion of your tour, your SUV takes you back to your hotel. If you’ve selected the 5-hour tour (see below in Itinerary), see the rest of the best of New York City.

Absolutely fantastic! - Great experience! Absolutely recommended for first time visitors who like a more private and comfortable tour. Perfect for a family activity (my senior parents were also on board and were delighted). Isaac was a fantastic tour guide and showed us some great spots. We enjoyed every minute of our 5 hour tour.

5 stars for Isaac! - Isaac was great! We had teenagers who said they loved seeing the Statue of Liberty from different viewpoints and Jacques Torres chocolate store was a highlight. Isaac was knowledgeable and also added to the tour by pointing out famous peoples' homes and where some movies were filmed. 5 stars!

New York in the SNOW - We took a tour with Laura and Muhammad on Friday. We have been to New York several times and taken tours each time and this was the best by far. They shared the typical information and so much more. We learned about the architectural and culture history of the city. The role of the city in the social and entertainment history of the city and country was invaluable. We will do their tour again!

Time of our lives - Receiving a very friendly text the day before this tour was a fabulous first impression. I was asked to re-confirm and was given all the details I needed in regard to pick up / contact no etc. On the morning of the tour I also received a text from our driver (Isaac) when he was almost outside our pick-up location - top class service! Isaac was welcoming, friendly, and had every little bit of knowledge we were hoping for, when booking this trip we really hoped that our guide would be fun, interesting and enthusiastic and we were very lucky that Isaac ticked all of those boxes. We also asked him to deviate somewhat from the suggested itinerary which he accommodated without question, this even led to our tour going slightly over the time allocated which we really appreciated as it allowed us to complete our checklist of things we wanted to see within the tour and even a slice of NY pizza to keep us going. A very memorable tour, super comfortable classy vehicle and the glass roof a huge bonus. Would highly recommend, thank you Isaac

Pleasant but Overpriced. - We enjoyed the tour. Isaac was bery good at pointing interesting and little known sites iin the city he brought is to a place with a wonderful biew of the skyline. The Brooklyn Bridge the statue of liberty amd Ellis Island. I was disappointed not to have many opportunities for photos. Isaac was somewhat accommodating while enjoyable, way overpriced even for NYC
