Although images of Manhattan spring to mind when we think of NYC, there is so much more to be experienced within the Big Apple! This half-day tour will take you on a culturally enriching journey through The Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn, as you ride in our comfortable air-conditioned vehicle to visit some of the most treasured sights and historical landmarks in these popular NYC boroughs.

Our first stop will be in the prominent Jazz neighborhood of Harlem, including a stop at the renowned Apollo Theater. Some of the most celebrated performers in America’s history began their legendary careers on this very stage, including Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sammy Davis Jr., Gladys Knight, and Lauryn Hill.

The experience continues as we head North out of Manhattan into the Bronx, straight to the famed Yankee Stadium. Within these walls, some of the most legendary Yankee players of all time have left a lasting legacy, including Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, and of course, the one and only Babe Ruth. The stadium is grand, modern, and impressive, yet with a deep sense of honor and tradition that can be felt from the moment it comes into view.

We’ll continue our exploration of The Bronx with a visit to the “Joker Stairs”, an iconic landmark from the 2019 film Joker. You’ll also see a number of wall murals painted by creative street artists, including the “I Love The Bronx Mural”, an artistic interpretation of the history of the Bronx from past to present. As we ride along, our experienced tour guide will provide details about this famous street art and the fascinating history of The Bronx.

Next up is Queens, where we’ll take a peaceful stroll through Flushing Meadows Corona Park, which has many remnants from the 1964 World’s Fair, including the UniSphere. This unique steel sphere is surrounded by cascading waves of water that create the illusion of it being suspended in the air! You may also recognize it from the movie Men in Black.

Sports fans will love our sights of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the heart of the US Open, and Citi Field, the home of the NY Mets. Both of these amazing sports landmarks are located in Queens.

We’ll round out this half-day tour in Brooklyn, where we’ll explore the Williamsburg neighborhood, which is well-known for its large population of Hasidic Jews. Then we’ll head to Brooklyn’s waterfront, featuring world-famous panoramic views of Manhattan’s skyline that will take your breath away. Strolling through Domino Park, you’ll be able to admire the gorgeous New York Bay, and capture stunning photos of landmarks such as the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, and One World Trade Center.
