Every time I travel, I like to see everything from a panoramic view, if possible because you have the opportunity to see the most important places, while they tell you all about it, and when you want, you can stop and then continue on another bus. That way if something fascinates you a little more than others, you can slow down and take it all in.
This was my first time in New York and I wanted to see everything I could. For example, some of the things on my list included: Times Square, The Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Madison Square Garden, 5th Ave., Rockefeller Center, Central Park and more. I did them all!
I really enjoy just about everything they showed us, as well as their clean buses, great staff, the weather, etc. But I would like to share the two tours that I really enjoy the most.
I went to redeem my ticket once I got it online. The agent was patient, knowledgeable and very helpful, printed my ticket, and gave me a few tips about getting the most from the tour.
I got the two days unlimited pass and I did all the major routes, but I have to tell you, I loved the night tour. It was a breathtaking experience. I think the night tour was totally on a different level and definitely worth the price alone. The schedule also helped me to be on track without much confusion.
We were greeted by the driver and given the free earphones which connected to the jack next to the seat for a very useful audio guide. The commentary on the bus was very helpful, giving a recorded explanation of notable locations we saw along the route.
My first tour started close to Times Squares, from 7:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. Then we went from 5th Avenue to the Empire State Building, Greenwich Village, Chinatown, and Little Italy, before crossing over into Brooklyn.
As the bus returned to Manhattan, the Brooklyn Bridge provided a truly dazzling disply of light and architecture. After passing the United Nations, the tour continued with the Chrysler building and Grand Central Terminal, two of the most beautiful structures in the entire city. Before you know it, the bus has returned to the glamorous lights of Times Square, leaving you with a night of memories to last a lifetime!
My second day was incredible, as I started my tour at the Empire State Building stop and then continued on to see more exciting New York attractions like Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, One World Trade Center, the Financial District and more.
That tour gave me access to one of the Liberty Cruises too, because I wanted to see the Statue of Liberty, of course. The boat cruise was amazing, and I took some lovely pictures of Lady Liberty at a closer range.
My tours were relaxing, fun, and informative. They offered me an unbeatable way to capture the sights of NYC while enjoying the ride!
I totally recommend TopView Sightseeing New York. If you want to have a memorable experience of the city that never sleeps, take a tour with them.
