1.Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,764 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $75Our pick

A warm, climate-controlled bus tour that hits NYC’s top sights in 4 hours, with guide stories and multiple photo stops.

“We had a wonderful time on this tour. All three of the staff were amazing. Tom, our tour guide was phenomenal. He was so knowledgeable, funny, kind and helpful. We were able to learn more about the city and see some of the top sights while staying warm on an extremely cold day. I’d highly recommend booking this tour if you want to see more of the city without figuring it out on your own. There’s no time to purchase food so if you’re someone who gets a little hungry, I’d suggest bring a snack to eat at one of the stops.”
