Overview

This four-hour bus tour in New York City includes a hop-on hop-off format with a professional local guide who also drives the air-conditioned vehicle. The tour begins by traveling along 12th Avenue on Manhattan’s west side, passing landmarks such as the Intrepid Museum by the Hudson River, Hudson Yards with its large real estate development, Chelsea Piers, and Little Island park. It continues past the Whitney Museum of American Art, One World Trade Center and its observatory, the Reflecting Pools at the World Trade Center site, the Oculus transit hub and shopping center, and Battery Park with its gardens and Staten Island Ferry terminal. The route crosses the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel into Brooklyn, passing through neighborhoods including Dumbo and offering views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. The tour also travels through Chinatown and Little Italy in Manhattan before returning. The highlight is a one-hour walking tour in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, known as a Christmas Wonderland for its extensive holiday decorations. This neighborhood features blocks of houses decorated with thousands of lights, inflatable Santas, reindeer, nativity scenes, and animatronic displays, accompanied by holiday music. The tour does not include food, drinks, or gratuities. Restrooms may not be available during the tour. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
