See Midtown, Lower Manhattan, and Lady Liberty in one 2 to 3 hour combo tour, with bus commentary and a New York Harbor cruise.
“This “ tour” was awful. There was no “guide” - they gave us a set of headphones when we got on the bus to listen to a pre-recorded message that kept starting and stopping. We basically took an hour long, horrible cab ride from Manhattan to the Staten Island ferry.. it was so bad we skipped the ferry portion.. There were several other bus tours that we saw that had a personal guide and were having a good time, most definitely not this one!”
See Times Square, bridges, boroughs, and Manhattan lit up on a two-hour Big Bus night ride with a live guide and open-top views.
