2.NYC Highlights Tour: Bronx, Brooklyn, Harlem, Queens & Coney

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,846 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $46

Spend about seven hours crossing New York’s outer boroughs by shared coach, from Harlem’s Apollo Theater to a Bronx mural, Flushing Meadows, DUMBO and, if you choose, Coney Island. Guides such as Jorge bring local history and humor to the ride. Expect brief stops, photo time and a broad city overview, not a deep visit to each neighborhood.

“Fantastic tour!! Definitely recommend!! If I’m ever back in NYC with a different group of friends, I’ll recommend we go and I would join again. Jorge was a fantastic tour guide!! I couldn’t imagine having a job like this where you have to share the same information every day – but he doesn’t let it show. He treated our tour with enthusiasm, humor, and care. And he knows his stuff - we learned so much on the tour, with fun jokes along the way! You make five stops along the way (we opted out of Coney Island since it was winter time). Jorge make sure you know where you will…”

Despite this, Estalina managed to stop at almost every important landmark even with the heavy snow. Thank you for a wonderful morning and we wish you and our driver Elvis all the best! Greetings from Giovanna and Sophie :)”
