New York in One Day Guided Sightseeing Tour

After a drive through the Times Square area, our first stop is at Central Park. The stop includes a short, guided walk into Central Park and a visit to Columbus Circle – one of NYC’s hottest neighborhoods and the official zero-mile point from which all official city distances are measured.

The first stop is a guided walk into Central Park and a visit to Columbus Circle.

The second stop on the tour is Rockefeller Center, for outside views of St. Patrick's Cathedral, the location of the ice skating rink and Christmas Tree (seasonal), and NBC's Today Show set.

The third stop is on Fifth Avenue for great views of the Empire State Building. This area provides spectacular views of dramatic architecture featured in numerous books and films: the Flatiron Building (Godzilla, Spider-Man), the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower (The Runaway Skyscraper, Futurama), and the Empire State Building (King Kong, Independence Day). We drive by Madison Square Park - the original location of Madison Square Garden Arena, and the tour continues with a drive through some of NYC's iconic neighborhoods, such as Greenwich Village, Soho, Chinatown, and the Financial District.
