NYC Open-Top Hop-On Hop-Off Day Pass + Evening Cruise

See all of iconic New York — from Times Square and Central Park to Brooklyn Bridge and the High Line — from the top deck of a classic open-top double-decker, then cap the day with a sunset harbor cruise past the Statue of Liberty.

What to expect

Board at any of 40+ stops across four color-coded routes covering Uptown, Downtown, Brooklyn, and the Night Tour. Expert live guides (not audio recordings on premium routes) bring the city's layers — Gilded Age mansions, jazz-era Harlem, Wall Street drama — to vivid life from the open upper deck. The included harbor cruise slides past Ellis Island and circles the Statue of Liberty at water level as the Manhattan skyline glows behind you. It is the most efficient way to absorb the world's greatest city in a single day.
