Best of Manhattan Experience

Highlights / General details

The "Best of" Manhattan Experience is a shortened version of our Manhattan Experience tour, designed for a full day of NYC touring, but won't overlap with evening plans.

This 6-hour tour will take you through the island of Manhattan from top to bottom, as your guide provides interesting narration along the way and walks you through each exploration stop.

The "Best of" Manhattan Experience includes an authentic Italian lunch in Little Italy at one of the neighborhoods' oldest restaurants, Grotta Azzura and views of the city from a new perspective on a Manhattan harbor tour. End the day back in Times Square with just enough time to get ready for a night on the town.

Motor Coach Tour of Upper & Lower Manhattan: Fully escorted tour of upper and lower Manhattan by motor coach accompanied by a professional tour guide who will provide the narration on all the important sites like the new Times Square, Madison Square Garden, the Flatiron building, Greenwich Village, SoHo, Little Italy and Battery Park, where you will& enjoy Lady Liberty Harbor Cruise with close-up views of the Statue of Liberty / Ellis Island and Brooklyn Bridge. Resume tour at Battery Park driving up to Central Park, the Cathedral St. John the Divine, Grant's Tomb, Harlem, the Museum Mile, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center and more.

Statue of Liberty Express: Climb aboard this fun and funky express ride around NYC! Cruise past the Statue of Liberty and spectacular skyline views. Hear stories about the historical city sights you love. Our tour narrators interact with you to ensure you have a great time and leave more knowledgeable about the City of New York then when you arrived. Let your camera go wild and capture the magic of your New York memories. NYC Restaurants - Grotta Azzurra: Enjoy a delicious lunch at one of New York's famous and oldest Italian Restaurants in the heart of Little Italy. Founded in 1908 by the Davino family Grotta Azzurra was named for the blue grotto on the isle of Capri and designed to evoke the beauty of one of the world’s most famous caves in the world, intensified. Enrico Caruso feasted here after performances, and Sinatra called it his one and only favorite Italian restaurant, making it the site of many a “Rat Pack” evening.
