Guided bus tours are a convenient way to see New York. Sit back and enjoy the sights with a local tour guide. Tour companies offer a variety of tours with different types of transport, catering to a range of group sizes.
Marvelous Manhattan Tours provide tours in buses carrying a maximum of 14 passengers. Uptown, midtown and downtown sights are covered. Try the Festive Lights Night Tour and see the Rockefeller tree and the Winter Garden lights if you are in New York over the Christmas period. Wheelchairs and handicapped passengers can usually be accommodated. Reduced prices are available for under-12s.
You can hop on and off double decker buses with tours from City Sights NY. A new fleet of buses with seating on the top deck only offers all passengers a view from above street level. Vehicles have state of the art public address systems, heating and a see-through canopy to keep passengers warm and dry in winter.
Try something a little different and hop aboard a tour of Brooklyn with A Slice of Brooklyn tours. Leaving from Manhattan, the four-hour tours take in sights such as the Brooklyn Bridge, Coney Island, Brooklyn Heights and locations from movies including The Godfather and Prizzi's Honor.
