New York City is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world and full of contrasts! On this tour, you'll venture off the beaten path and explore amazing neighborhoods in four of the five NYC boroughs. Traveling by comfortable motor coach with a professional licensed tour guide, your day will start in the borough of Manhattan with a ride through Harlem. Learn about the development of this diverse neighborhood and see the world-renowned Apollo Theater, the debut venue for many performers including Ella Fitzgerland, The Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye and many others.
You'll then travel north to the Bronx, where you’ll see the home of the New York Yankees--one of the most famous baseball teams in the world. You’ll also learn about the birth of hip-hop and view original street art while wandering the streets. The tour continues across the East River in the borough of Queens, one of the most ethnically diverse counties in the nation. Pass through the exclusive Malba neighborhood with its many beautiful homes before heading off to Flushing Meadows Park, home of the U.S. Open, New York Mets baseball team and the Unisphere.
Next, you'll visit Brooklyn and explore Williamsburg and Crown Heights, home to a large Hasidic Jewish community. Then, head to iconic Coney Island, where you can enjoy the boardwalk and have lunch at Nathan's Famous, weather permitting. Finally, return to Manhattan via the historic Brooklyn Bridge. The itinerary may change due to traffic and time constraints.
Option 1 is a tour without Coney Island, and Option 2 includes Coney Island.
