Pack your camera and your sense of adventure as Royal City Tours offers visitors the chance to experience one of the best kept secrets around – the New Jersey Waterfront. There is truly something for everyone to enjoy, and our professional guides will take you on a journey filled with breathtaking views, history, movie secrets, and other little-known facts about the City of Dreams.

Everywhere you look, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic, postcard-worthy views of some of the world’s most famous landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, One World Trade Center, Empire State Building, Times Square, the Brooklyn Bridge, as well as many other iconic locations.

Visitors will also gain an emotional and unforgettable experience when we stop at the Empty Sky Memorial. Erected to honor the victims of the Twin Tower attacks of 9/11, this is the site where the lives and legacy of these individuals will be forever remembered for generations to come.

Between our sightseeing stops, we’ll have time to experience some culinary delights as well. You’ll be able to choose from a variety of delectable pastries and sweet treats at the legendary Carlo’s Bakery, a Hoboken staple since 1910, and well-known to many visitors from the TV show “Cake Boss”.

As twilight overcomes the skyline, the vibrant colors of the NYC skyline will be brought to life before your very eyes. The crowning glory of the evening will be the spectacular views of Manhattan from Hamilton Park, cast in the glow of millions of twinkling lights from across the Hudson River.
