Overview

Discover Manhattan on foot and by trolley, with time to explore, take photos, and truly enjoy each landmark.
The NYC Trolley Tour is a relaxed, 4hour guided experience with 7 hop-off stops at New York City’s most iconic locations. This is not a drive-by tour. Your professional guide walks with you at every stop, sharing history, stories, and the best photo spots.
Highlights include Central Park South and Gapstow Bridge, views of The Plaza Hotel & Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center with the Atlas statue and Radio City Music Hall, and a brief interior visit to St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Continue to the Flatiron Building and Madison Square Park, stroll through SoHo’s cobblestone streets, and enjoy skyline views near City Hall Park and the Brooklyn Bridge. The tour concludes in the Wall Street area with the New York Stock Exchange, Federal Hall, Trinity Church, and the exterior 9/11 Memorial Pools.
