Tour Itinerary

The New York Day Tours are essential to any visitor wanting to truly discover one of the world's largest cities.

The 5 hour New York Day Tour covers all the Midtown Manhattan sights of the 3 hour New York Half Day Tour and in addition, introduces historic New York with the neighbourhoods of Chelsea and Greenwich Village, including many of the hidden streets and squares which the tour buses miss.

Ticket options with fast track entry are also offered to avoid the majority of the lines to either one of New York's most breathtaking viewing points, along with a short refreshment break for food/shopping.

Your day beings with a visit through the Rockefeller Centre, looking into the rich history and artistry behind NYC's cultural centre.

Learn about John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s unwavering vision for this iconic NYC landmark, with your guide introducing the great works of art and architecture that comprise it today.

Then prepare to enter the very heart of the Big Apple: Fifth Avenue and Broadway. Hear stories about the most famous theatreland in the world, while taking in panoramic views across Times Square.

Enjoy a spectacularly scenic drive through Central Park before enjoying a guided tour through St Patrick's, the City's principal Cathedral and a wonder of Neo-Gothic architecture.

Next head west towards the River Hudson, entering Chelsea and the area fondly known by New Yorkers as "The Village". Home to brick and brownstone townhouses, Greenwich was the location for a series of artistic, social and political movements which have greatly influenced U.S. history. Join your guide on a walk through the highlights of a neighbourhood that has seen it all: from writers, poets, folk singers, rock stars, mobsters - even the Friends apartment building!

The tour ends with an introduction to the city's most famous skyscrapers: The Empire State and Chrysler Buildings.

The Experience

  • River Seine

    We're a little different. Unlike other tours, this is not just an orientation service where you are left "to wander". It is also not just a drive.

    Our tours are fully escorted with your own professional sightseeing team (guide plus chauffeur), so that you never miss a beat.

    With your own chauffeur there are no parking problems or walking long distances to see the sights. The curbside service stops right by the attractions, away from the masses.

    With your own expert guide, stops are made at the key landmarks of the tour for you to go outside on walking guided tours and sightsee in detail, all while hearing anecdotes and stories about New York past and present.

    Put simply - there is no better way to help make the most of your valuable sightseeing time.
