Why it's worth it
On our sightseeing bus and boat tours, you get the services of an experienced local guide that travels with you as you hop off and on the bus. This elevates our tours from simply riding around and looking at the sights into a combination bus and walking tour. Your bus waits as you explore attractions with the help of your guide, this saves your group from having to delay the rest of the tour while waiting for another bus to continue the journey. In addition to a dedicated guide, you also receive a boat ride pass the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and Governor’s Island.
