Absolutely incredible!

The audio guide was like having a personal NYC expert! We learned and saw a lot with only two-day passes. It truly was the perfect way to explore the city during our short stay. Loved the Rockefeller Center and the bike ride through Central Park! 10/10 experience!

Simone
NYC adventure made easy!

We considered doing the night tour but opted for this one instead because of the bike rental and we had a blast! I couldn't believe how much we saw in two days - all of our bucket list sights, and we had more than enough time to explore all of them on foot. We highly recommend this type of city sightseeing, it's incredible!
