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.

The best of introductions to New York - Isaac couldn’t have treated us to a better introduction to New York. His wealth of knowledge and humour kept us entertained throughout the trip. It was perfectly paced and it was great to have the opportunity to explore a few places off the beaten track (also on foot), including the most delicious slice of NY pizza. Little Island was an unexpected highlight.

Great - Laurie was our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and knew her history on New York. She was helpful in suggesting things for us to do or see on our trip. We have been on four tours in the past two weeks and this was by far the BEST and that is because of Laurie and our driver. GREAT job LAURIE!! Would recommend everyone take this tour!!

I got to see the city... - I got to see the city from a different point of view with your company. Issac was an excellent Guide! You get to know history about the city that you may have never known on this guided tour. Like for example, the smallest house in the city. I loved it also, seeing the lights of the city from Brooklyn was exceptional. Thanks, and I would recommend this tour to anyone

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.

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
