Description

The New York City Contrasts Sightseeing Tour is the must-do excursion for those who want to get to know the real New York beyond the skyscrapers of Manhattan. On this tour with our bilingual tour guide, you'll cross the borders of the world's most famous districts to immerse yourself in an unparalleled mix of cultures, ethnicities, languages, and lifestyles. We'll start by traveling north through Harlem to begin seeing the Contrasts of New York. We'll pass by the Church of St. John the Divine, Columbia University, the legendary Apollo Theater, and some Protestant churches, before entering the Bronx, where we'll see the legendary Yankee Stadium, the stairs from the movie Joker, the police station made famous by the movie 'Fort Apache,' and the impressive murals and graffiti that tell the raw and fascinating story of the neighborhood. Then, we'll cross into Queens, the most diverse county in the United States, to admire the iconic globe at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park (home of the US Open) and explore the multiculturalism of its streets. Finally, we'll arrive in Brooklyn to tour Williamsburg, a neighborhood where vibrant alternative culture coexists side by side with the fascinating and strict ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, offering a striking visual and cultural contrast. The sightseeing tour ends at a strategic point (such as the Brooklyn Bridge area or near Chinatown/Little Italy), giving you the perfect opportunity to continue exploring the city at your own pace.
