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.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour? Can kids join?

A: There’s no strict age limit for the tour, and kids are definitely welcome! It’s a family-friendly experience, but I'd suggest making sure they can handle a good amount of walking and the bus ride. The guides are great with kids, too!

Q: What should I wear for this tour?

A: Dress comfortably! You’ll be walking a lot, so wear sneakers or comfy shoes. The weather can change too, so maybe bring a light jacket if it’s cooler in the morning. Layers are always a good idea when exploring NYC.

Q: What if it rains? Will the tour still happen?

A: If it rains, they generally continue the tour, but you should bring an umbrella and wear a waterproof jacket. The bus is climate-controlled, so you’ll be comfortable during the rides. Just check their policy for rescheduling if the weather is really bad!

Thinking of gifting the Manhattan Bus and Walking Tour - any thoughts?

I’m considering this tour for my partner’s birthday. We love NYC, but we’ve never done a guided tour before! The combo of bus and walking sounds perfect. How long does it typically take, and is there enough time to explore places like Central Park and Battery Park? Also, does anyone know what kind of lunch options are around Battery Park?

Just did the Manhattan Bus and Walking Tour - amazing!

I took the tour last week and it was such a great experience! Our guide was super knowledgeable and funny. I loved the walk through Central Park and the views from Battery Park were incredible. We even spotted the Statue of Liberty from the ferry! Totally recommend it for anyone wanting to explore NYC more deeply. The bus was super comfy too!
