What sets us apart? We’re one of the only New York City touring companies to provide our guests with a combination walking/riding tour. You’ll ride with us in comfort, then dive deep into the city when we walk the streets, where you’ll experience the genuine excitement and breadth of New York. And did you know some of the big touring companies in New York have eliminated their guides and mechanized their tours? NYSee Tours believes in the value of a living, breathing guide; someone who knows his or her history, but brings personal anecdotes, passion and humor to the table. Simply put, we don’t hand you a pair of headphones when you hand us your ticket. Our excursions are animated and alive, so you can live and breathe New York City. Our tour - a perfect balance between riding in a small comfortable vehicle and walking, where we'll get out to explore enchanting Central Park, the mansions of the Gilded Age along Fifth Avenue, and then down to the remarkable Grand Central Station to see one of the most beautiful buildings in the world - and this is just the first half of your tour. Our excursion continues through The Village, a unique part of town that was actually one of Gotham's first suburbs, with cobblestone streets lined with beautiful homes, some even dating from the early 1800's. Emma Lazarus, Bob Dylan, Edith Wharton, Cary Grant, and Dylan Thomas have called the Village home. Today, Julia Roberts, Anderson Cooper, and Anna Wintour, to name a few, reside here. To travel south on the Island of New York is to head back through time to the epoch of the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam. The Financial District, Wall Street, and the winding streets and alleys of lower Manhattan are the oldest parts of the city. We will pass through these areas as we make our way over to the Winter Garden to view the new World Trade Center. We end our journey by whisking you uptown on the Subway for the quintessential New York experience, and give you a lesson or two on Subway etiquette and safety.

This tour was a fun, informative and personal setting in which my friend, who was visiting me from England, and myself learned so much more about this city than we would have on a regular bus tour. Fred really knew what he was talking about and was very enthusiastic about taking us to the major sights and some that I hadn't been to myself. For instance, the Highline Park was one of the highlights. I would definitely recommend this intimate sized tour (20 and less people) in comparison to some of the other double decker bus tours that go through NYC!

They are small but that's the advantage. I enjoyed well and sight seeings are well organized. If you plan for 2 or 3 days trip. take this guided tour on first day. He gives us all the information how to reach and which are all really worth things to do in NY. I got into tour even without advanced booking. It all depends on availability.

This tour was awesome. Very informative & covered a lot in the 5 hours allotted. Our group was nice & we all truly enjoyed the experience. Having walking and riding was great so that we could get out and take in some attractions more closely. Our guide was very knowledgeable & a great resource in locating other things we might want to do outside of Manhattan. Highly recommend.
