What To Expect

St. Patrick's Cathedral

Meet your tour guide outside in front of the Cathedral for tour check in. You’re welcome to check in early and go inside prior to the tour!

Little Italy

Good food and rich traditions have kept Little Italy true to its roots. Although this small but boisterous neighborhood has changed over time, its European heritage is still alive.

Charging Bull (Wall Street Bull)

The oversize sculpture depicts the symbol of aggressive financial optimism and prosperity.

Statue of Liberty

Due to its popularity, access to the pedestal is limited (SELLS OUT) and requires reservations. We have Reserved Pedestal Passes already bought for you, so you will be one of the few visitors that get to the pedestal! You'll be taking the ferry over to Liberty Island for this tour (Ellis Island not included)

The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum

A breath-taking and emotional stop of the tour, a tribute of remembrance and honor to the 2,977 people killed in the terror attacks of September 11.

Grand Central Terminal

Grand Central Terminal is the most extraordinary public space in New York City. Opened to the public in 1913, this historic train terminal is a world-famous landmark in Midtown. Its rich history is a story of immense wealth and great engineering.

Times Square / Theater District

This is where the tour will end, at the crossroads of the world!

A must see tour for first-timer New York visitors. You will visits most of the iconic sites in NYC. And it’s a bonus if you get Damien as your tour guide. It seems he knows everything about NYC. He even added side trips to areas that are considered as “nice to know” for tourists like us. He suggested areas to visit that would make your trip enjoyable and memorable. The open top van ride was ideal for that day since it was not that hot and we were able to take videos and photos. Since we were in a small group, the pace was ideal and Damien gave us enough time to take pictures and enjoy each site. I suggest to request for Damien as your tour guide if you want to take this tour.

When looking for information on this company, Google: newyorktourshuttle.com I found their name confusing with the other New York City-named tours. (Example NYC Hop on Hop Off Bus/Tours, etc.) We took the 9 hour tour Main Attractions Tour. We opted to pay the extra $20./each for the open-top sprinter van (retractable, if needed), which was worth the extra cost: our group only had 9 participants, the weather cooperated on the day of our trip & the open air van allowed you to really enjoy all the enormity of the skyscrapers and 360⁰ views, and during the stops, we could leave our belongings in the van, secure. The van is in very good condition, clean, smooth ride, with David, our tour guide, on a mike so you could hear clearly. David was a wonderful tour guide; he clearly has a passion for New York City; his narration throughout was not only educational, but his stories, and historical anecdotes were interesting, and entertaining. At Paesano’s, we chose to eat outside on the terrace; the weather was great and we enjoyed the fair that was going on that day. It’s all Italian, but my husband (who doesn’t eat Italian), chose the chicken Caesar salad and was able to enjoy an entrée that wasn’t all that spicy. The tour followed the itinerary, except that we didn’t stop at Grand Central Station, Federal Hall, Trinity Church, or the Ticker Tape Parade Route (disappointing). Our tour started at St. Patrick’s Cathedral; time was given to go inside. The stops we made were: The Empire State Building (with time enough to go to the top), lunch in Little Italy, ferry to the Statue of Liberty (no waiting in line to go into the pedestal), and the 911 Memorial Pools; with all stops allowing enough time to enjoy. I would highly recommend this tour. By the end of the day, we felt that we had seen and learned about many, many iconic structures and neighborhoods in an enjoyable way. The driver was great; it enabled my husband to enjoy the city, too, without the stress of driving in Manhattan.

Really enjoyed having an open topped van to travel in through the city that came to you and reduced the need to walk long distances. The stops at Statue of Liberty, Empire State building and 911 outdoor memorial were highlights of the tour. The bus had USB outlets at every seat so it was easy to charge phones between attractions. We were allowed to leave our gear on the bus in between stops so bring extra water and leave it on the bus. But, your tour guide is the glue that pulls it all together and unfortunately, David was nice, but felt the need to put too much of himself into his comments during the tour. We were not on this tour to get his opinions, we were on the tour to get some highlights about the city. In summary - great tour, check reviews for your guide before getting on the bus.
