About
It’s a cliché but also very true: New York is the city that never sleeps. Visiting New York City by night is a unique experience since the city presents an exciting face by day but an absolutely ravishing one at night. Let yourself be dazzled by the lights and sounds of the New York night.
Some of the greatest sightseeing and picture-worthy moments of New York City happen after the sun goes down, and we will begin this tour with one of the best spots for it: the neon-lighted Times Square. We will then continue to travel the west and south chasing the most spectacular views, places, and experiences this city has to offer at night: from the famous Meat Packing District to popular Little Italy and some amazing viewpoints in between. We will close the night in New Jersey enjoying an unforgettable panoramic view of the illuminated skyscrapers projecting on the waters of the Hudson River. Book your New York by Night Tour now!
