The CitySights NY All Around Town Tour allows the rider 48 hours of sightseeing to places including downtown near ground zero (site of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center), uptown and Harlem. As a bonus to riding the double-decker buses, each All Around Town Tour comes with a New York Harbor cruise on the Circle Line and tickets to the Museum of the City of New York. You will get to see most of the sites on this tour, which may serve as the best option for first-time visitors. For an additional cost, tourists can add attractions to the package such as Top of the Rock Observatory, the Empire State Building, Ellis Island or museums. Discounts to the attractions are typically available when booking together with the All Around Town Package. German, French, Italian and Spanish multilingual versions of the tours are available.
For tourists with time constraints or who simply want to see the most popular attractions, the Downtown Tour may be the best option. According to CitySights NY, the three most visited places in Manhattan are all on this tour, which includes the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building and ground zero. The tour also explores cultural neighborhoods such as Greenwich Village, Little Italy and Chinatown. Other sites include Macy's Madison Square Garden, Wall Street, Pier 17, Battery Park, United Nations, Rockefeller Center and Times Square. The tour lasts about 2 1/2 hours and departs from several Times Square area locations. Buses Are available from 7:45 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Unlike the other tours provided by CitySights NY, the Night Tour does not include the hop-on, hop-off option because it is a fully escorted 2 1/2-hour tour of Manhattan by night. A special destination on the Night Tour is a stop at the Brooklyn Fulton Ferry Landing where a breathtaking view of the Manhattan skyline is available, and riders may get off to take pictures. The tour visits Times Square, Chinatown, the Empire State Building, Greenwich Village, SoHo, Little Italy, Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge and the Lower East Side.
The Super Downtown Tour includes everything from the Downtown Tour plus tickets to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. In addition, the package includes tickets to your choice of the Empire State Building or the Top of the Rock observation deck.
