Overview

Spend the morning on our bus-and-walk combo exploring Manhattan’s top sites. Starting from Times Square, we’ll whisk you through Midtown to Columbus Circle for photos and a stroll into Central Park. Then, pass horse-drawn carriages, grand apartments, and the iconic Plaza Hotel on Central Park South. Cruise along Fifth Avenue, stopping at Rockefeller Plaza, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the Empire State Building, and the Flatiron. Head downtown through Greenwich Village, SoHo, Chinatown, Little Italy, and the Financial District—spot Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, and Trinity Church. Pause at One World Trade Center and the 9/11 Memorial to reflect. Finish in Battery Park, where you can grab lunch or ride the free Staten Island Ferry past the Statue of Liberty before returning to Times Square.
