Description
The New York City Contrasts Sightseeing Tour is a must-do excursion for those who want to discover the city's true character beyond the skyscrapers of Manhattan. On this tour with our bilingual tour guide, you'll cross the borders of the world's most famous boroughs to immerse yourself in an unparalleled mix of cultures, ethnicities, languages, and lifestyles.
We'll start by heading north through Harlem to begin seeing the Contrasts of New York. We'll pass by the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Columbia University, the legendary Apollo Theater, and some Protestant churches before heading into the Bronx, where we'll see the iconic Yankee Stadium, the steps from the film Joker, the police station made famous in the film 'Fort Apache,' and the stunning murals and graffiti that tell the gritty and fascinating story of the neighborhood. We will then cross over to Queens, the most diverse borough 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 explore Williamsburg, a neighborhood where the 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.
