Take a bite out of the biggest apple in the world - welcome to New York City! Accompanied by our vibrant local guide, spend the day exploring this amazing city like the New Yorkers do - by foot and subway. Maybe hop into a famous yellow taxi if you want.

There is beautiful Central Park and Grand Central, the largest railway station in the world. There are the Rockefeller Center, Trump Tower, the Empire State Building. Stroll down famous Broadway, the sparkly theater district, and Fifth Avenue with its upscale high fashion boutiques.
