About
New York is a phenomenal city with lots to offer, and the best way to experience the highlights is with one of the 6 Hours Bus and Boat tour in NYC from Small Bus Tours NYC. Let us take you on a journey that gives you first hand exposure to the heart of the city and the unique elements that make it stand apart as one of the capitals of the world.
You have the option to be picked up at either 9:30 a.m. or 3:30 p.m. sharp at West 51st and Broadway in front of the Times Square McDonald’s restaurant. We encourage all our passengers to dress appropriately for the weather and encourage them to bring along food and snacks for their comfort.
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 to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and Governor’s Island.
What to bring
Please dress appropriately for the weather that day. Food and snacks are allowed on the bus.
