NYC Classic Open-Top Bus Tour: Hop-On Hop-Off with Night Cruise

Take in all five NYC boroughs from an open-top double-decker with live narration, then cap it with a twilight harbor cruise past the Statue of Liberty. The most cinematic way to absorb Manhattan's legendary skyline.

What to expect

Board the open-top double-decker at any of the convenient Midtown stops and ride through iconic districts with live expert commentary on the landmarks, history, and hidden stories of New York. Hop off to explore the High Line's elevated gardens, the boutiques of SoHo, or the grandeur of Central Park at your leisure. As evening falls, transfer to the harbor cruise for a golden-hour glide past the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the glittering Manhattan skyline. The night-time water perspective of NYC is one of the great urban spectacles on earth.
