Sightseeing Tours
The most complete tour of the city and the one with the best value is a sightseeing tour on a double-decker bus. If purchased online in advance, it is $69 for a ticket that is valid for 48 hours and $84 for 72 hours. The main advantage of such tours is that you can get off at any stop, explore the neighborhood, and in some time board the next bus of the same travel company and keep moving along the tour route.
You can see all of New York City and take stunning photos by day and night (the ticket price includes an evening tour of the city called ”the Night Loop”). Read the details and buy tickets online on our website.

Exploring New York City on your own can turn into a great experience - you will have your own individual itinerary and there is no need to adjust to the schedules of a travel group or a tour. It is very simple to move around NYC, and there will be a plenty of impressions.
