Talana_W, Apr 2026

Excellent first ever food tour!

Great first ever food tour! Ryan our guide was excellent - engaging and able to keep up the energy and enthusiasm despite the cold and rain. We thought the food tour was very well constructed with a great mix of food samples, history and stories to really get a “flavour” of Greenwich Village. We will certainly not hesitate to do the food tour again another time and would definitely highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun way to spend the afternoon.

Great way to see Central Park as a visitor

This experience was as described. Our driver, Sahib, shared so much interesting information and history. He was personable and warm. We were given lots of time for photos ops and to explore on our own when desired. The blanket kept us warm on a cold day which enhanced the experience.

A classy and unique experience

This was a really delightful experience from start to finish. The boat was brand new, very classy wood finishes with u-shaped booths for each group on board. You are not packed in like sardines. Very comfortable. Nice cocktails/beverages as part of the package. Staff was amazing, including the guide, he covered so much detail. Just an incredible perspective to see New York from. Fully circumnavigated Manhattan Island, that was a bit unexpected, but made the trip so unique. Whole thing was, just, classy.

Moments Never Forgotten

The moment we (my cousin and I) were in front of the Statue of Liberty, it was magical. I have only seen this monument in books or in TV but nothing could prepare me for this real life experience. It felt historical in the very best way. I could imagine the families, the solo travelers, arriving from other parts of the world to this country. This country that once called to the world’s poor, and hungry. May we remember the roots we first planted, and begin to honor that memory and make peace in action with all the ancestors of this land.

Sobering and Beautifully Laid Out

This was a very sobering experience. It was one of the first times walking through a museum where I could say that I watched it unfold on T.V. in the 8th grade. My 14 year old daughter did become very emotional. We had to talk about everything after. I really enjoyed taking everything in, and learning things that I never knew before.

The Big Apple is so vast, dynamic, and attraction-packed that it can be challenging for visitors to know where to start. Luckily, New York City tours take the guesswork out of exploring this almost limitless city. Find your footing—even if it's sky-high—when you soak up the cityscape from the top of the Empire State Building or One World Observatory, or get a new angle when you cruise the New York Harbor (and greet Lady Liberty up close). From helicopter flights and hop-on hop-off bus passes to neighborhood walks, there are almost endless ways to discover—and fall in love with—New York.

People Also Ask

What are the best tours in New York City?

Are guided tours in New York City worth it?

Yes. New York City is jam-packed with exciting things to see and do, which can make it overwhelming to explore on your own. NYC tours help you experience the things that make the city so famous, from walking tours through famous neighborhoods to sightseeing cruises, museum admission passes, and food tours.

Per one customer who booked the Private Central Park Pedicab Tour, “Jade was an excellent guide! It was chilly outside but the blanket was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and entertaining!”

How much do New York City tours cost?

Prices vary widely by activity. Self-guided tours can cost as little as US$4, while private sightseeing tours can cost over US$1,000. Most tours fall somewhere in between. In general, expect to pay more for tours that include admission tickets, food and drinks, or transportation.

On the lower end of the price range, you can book tours such as 3+ Hours of Friending & Fun as a Local New Yorker (US$4 per person), a social event that will help you make new friends through activities such as card games in a cozy café. Pricier options include VIP tours, such as a Private Driving Highlights Tour of New York (Full Day) at around US$2,500 per group (up to 12). The private itinerary is customizable but can include such highlights as Central Park, the Empire State Building, the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, and Brooklyn Bridge.

What do you see on New York City tours?

NYC tours are as diverse as the city itself. Choose from sightseeing tours that highlight popular Midtown attractions like the Empire State Building and Chrysler Tower; walking tours through the cobbled streets of SoHo and Greenwich Village; or tours that take you into other boroughs like Brooklyn and Queens. You can also prebook admission tickets to top attractions like the 9/11 Memorial Museum, Edge Observation Deck, or SUMMIT One Vanderbilt. No matter what you choose, a tour can give you a better sense of all that New York has to offer.

Consider an all-day tour to visit as many attractions and landmarks as possible. For example, the New York in One Day Guided Sightseeing Tour takes you past the 9/11 Memorial, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, and other attractions. Plus, you’ll ride the Staten Island Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

How many days in New York City is enough?

What is the best month to visit New York City?

Late spring (May–June) and early fall (September–October) are nothing short of magical, when temperatures are mild and rain is unlikely. Though winter is cold, it’s worth bundling up for quintessential NYC events like the Thanksgiving Day Parade or ice skating at Rockefeller Center. Summer tends toward hot and muggy, but is ideal for visiting Coney Island, taking sightseeing cruises, or visiting rooftop bars.
