Double Decker buses are great in so many ways. First they take you quickly and conveniently to all of the most important neighborhoods and sights in the city. Then you can enjoy the city from the top of the largest buses in NYC along with a group of other friendly visitors. A New York sightseeing trip is never complete until you take a double decker tour. When you purchase your New York Sightseeing tickets from New York Guest the cost is the same as with the bus company. And sometimes we offer Discounts and Specials with our New York Sightseeing and New York vacation packages (ask about our frequent specials). That way when you arrive in the city, you'll be all set to ride the tall double-decker buses cruising throughout Manhattan. And one more reason to take a NYC double decker bus tour is you get to know the city very quickly; get to know which places and sites you want to see in more detail. These Hop-on/Hop-off bus tours cover a lot of ground.

And that's only the start. New York Sightseeing bus tours include those in escorted private coaches and vans, others to specific destination for shopping or touring and, of course, there are private charters for families and groups. If you would like us to customize a tour, in just about any language, please contact us, otherwise please see our Trip Planner for detailed descriptions and booking instructions.


New York Sightseeing also means seeing the city form the air. There's nothing like it: soaring above the greatest skyscrapers in the world, peering down at the surprising expanse of Central Park, and seeing New York City landmarks like never before on one of our New York Helicopter tours. A NYC helicopter ride is an experience unlike any other, and one that you will remember for the rest of your life. And it is important to take your New York Helicopter tours sooner then later as air traffic restrictions will reduce the number of flyers to only a fraction of the previous passenger limits. To book your New York Sightseeing helicopter ride over Manhattan, visit our Trip Planner or call our helpful New York City experts.


Many visitors to Manhattan are surprised to learn that of the 5 boroughs that comprise NYC, four of the boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island) are islands just off of the mainland. Only the Borough of the Bronx is on the mainland. With New York Sightseeing tours we always recommend a leisurely cruise around the island of Manhattan. It is a way to see the sights of Manhattan from a different perspective, see several of the bridges that connect the city (Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge), view the Statue of Liberty and see the 'island' boroughs.

Manhattan island is bordered by three great rivers: the Hudson River (named after Henry Hudson), Harlem River (a name traced to our Dutch settlers) and East River (that leads all the way to Long Island, Boston and beyond), New York Sightseeing provides many cruising options to enhance your New York sightseeing itinerary. Select from excursion boats with harbor cruises as short as 30 minutes or as long as 4 hours; or choose our popular dinner and dancing cruises for one of the most romantic ways to enjoy the city skyline. Another wonderful choice is a sunset cruise aboard either a motor or sailing vessel. Visit our Trip Planner for a list of many of our harbor cruising options.

New York Sightseeing is included in many of the wonderful other programs and packages available from New York Guest like: Broadway Packages, New York City vacations, Empire State Building tickets, New York Christmas travel, New Years Eve New York, New York Helicopter tours, New York Hotel deals, New York Hotel packages, New York travel deals, New York vacation packages and NYC vacation.

Planning New York Sightseeing is Vital to Seeing it All

[Posted on December 10]

You can see it all - all of New York that is - but only if you plan. Successful New York City Vacations start and end with a wonderful plan and great organization. While a few people just love the hours and hours of trying to figure out a plan (and sometimes missing an important detail), the rest of us would like to know it's done for them- that a pro has planned their New York Sightseeing.

So many people plan their trips around a hotel room only to find out that the hotel and their New York sightseeing don't quite agree. And some think that because they work on the New York Sightseeing plans long and hard the plans will be perfect. Sadly, without a great working knowledge of NYC, these kinds of plans can go awry. (Psst…did you hear about the hotel 'deal' where the floor above was under construction? Or the one where 'near everything' really meant near nothing important.

If the trip isn't well planned, nothing else will matter. "False savings with what seemed like a low rate on New York City lodging will evaporate if the rest of the trip falls apart. It's a mistake that so many visitors to the city make too often. At New York Guest we make sure that you never have that happen when we plan and book your trip (Did we mention that 100,000 visitors a year ask us for advice- we must be doing something right).

New York Guest will see to it that you stay on budget and still enjoy yourself. We'll make sure that there's time for all of the activities you want to do; not the ideas of some travel planner in Nevada who has never set foot in NYC.

For example traditional New York sightseeing that has drawn people to the city for decades. For many, New York sightseeing includes all of the iconic spots, such as the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Central Park, Times Square and more. Others however are much more interested in some of famous but less visited attractions the city offers like the Bronx Zoo or Coney Island and historic neighborhoods like Brooklyn, Astoria, Harlem and more.

With New York Guest, no matter what kind of New York sightseeing you have in mind, you'll be able to check everything off of your list.

Because traveling all over the city for New York sightseeing can be complicated, many people that aren't aware or just dismiss it only to find out they ran out of time, wasted time and money and didn't have the kind of trip they had hoped for..Sometimes it's because they spent more time at one attraction and didn't account for the time it takes to travel within the city. What looks like a few blocks or only a mile or so can take 45 minutes and a $40 cab ride on top. They often find themselves unable to visit places they really wanted to see.

In order help our clients traveling cover a lot of ground; we offer New York City bus tours and New York helicopter tours- different types and different prices. Our tours offer a totally unique way of seeing the city, even for those that have visited us before. In fact, many clients choose to go on both tours because of how much they're able to see and learn about the city.
These tours of the city are among the many options available with our New York vacation packages. Contact us today to plan your Vacation!
