New York wasn’t a sideshow to the American Revolution—it was the center of it. This tour follows the city’s transformation from a divided colonial port to the first capital of the United States. Before independence was declared, violence had already erupted here—months before Boston. From that moment, we trace the Revolution across New York: where resistance formed, where Washington’s army struggled to hold the city, and where the Declaration of Independence was first read to the troops on July 9, 1776. We follow the collapse and survival of the American cause—from the escape from Brooklyn to seven years of British occupation—and end where it all came full circle, with the evacuation of British forces in 1783. This is the Revolution as a continuous story—exactly where it happened.

10/10 recommend

Worthwhile NYC experience

Amazing tour! It was emotional but I learned some new information and my tour guide Alice was brilliant by her humor, sensitivity, and knowledge! Alice made the experience worth it! I highly suggest if you have the time and income, to do this activity while in NYC. It's a must experience. Tip your tour guides!!

A great walking tour. Not...

A great walking tour. Not too far, not too short. Mostly level ground. Seth did a great job keeping the tour group together. Give yourself PLENTY of time to get to the tour start. We were a little late, Seth waited for us, but would have rather not been late! Account for traffic or have a solid subway/train plan. The subway/train is for sure better than Uber/lyft/taxi! Don’t be afraid to try it out.

Greenwich Village Food Tour | Tasty Tours NYC

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.

Central Park Pedicab Guided Tours

Pamela_Y, Apr 2026

Fantastic Tour

AJ made our Central Park 1-hour tour an absolutely outstanding experience! From start to finish, he was engaging, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. He brought the park to life with fascinating stories, historical insights, and fun facts that we would have never discovered on our own. What truly stood out was AJ’s energy and attention to detail—he made sure everyone felt included and had a great time. The pace was perfect, allowing us to take in the beauty of Central Park while still covering all the key highlights. If you’re considering a tour with NYC Tours, ask for AJ—you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable Central Park experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Statue of Liberty and New York City Skyline Sightseeing Cruise

Renee_G, Apr 2026

Elegant ride in a stunning boat with beautiful views

Amazing experience, great staff, and gorgeous boat! The only recommendation I would make is to have a louder speaker so we could hear the captain when speaking. We were interested in hearing some history but couldn’t make out what was being said due to the low volume and lack of clarity through the sound system. Other than that, it was an amazing time!

Circle Line: 1.5hr New York City Statue of Liberty Sunset Cruise

Shannon_W, Apr 2026

Worth the cost

Had a wonderful chill time. Arrived at exactly my tour time but it seemed they were ready to take off. Appeared as if they waited. I’m thankful for that as my uber arrived later than expected. Overall a great time. I will book a tour next time with less music and more commentary

Circle Line: New York City Statue of Liberty Super Express Cruise

Ashley_C, Mar 2026

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.

Getting there was smooth...

Getting there was smooth we were coming off a 2 week cruise. Storing our luggage was great. We spent about 3 1/2 hours wish we had more time . It was very educational for our teenage boys and would definitely encourage families to go to this. The staff was friendly and helpful!!!! 5 stars Thank you! The Johnsons
