Overview

Let's go get $1.50 pizza slices & $4 drinks in the most expensive city in the world. We will take photos in front of some famous tourist sites like Times Square & Rockefeller Plaza, and do a bit of walking in iconic midtown. This tour will give you lots of ideas & spots to go for the rest of your NYC trip!

We'll meet in Bryant Park for this two hour experience. Our last stop of the tour is the cheapest bar in the neighborhood, which has a full bar, jukebox & free New York City hot dogs!

As soon as you book, you'll receive a message from me with cheap spots & tips, in addition to my favorite NYC finds. It includes ways to get discount Broadway tickets!

This tour will go on rain or shine-it is not all outdoors but quite a bit of it is!

Wear your walking shoes & bring cash if you'd like pizza or a drink!

This experience is perfect for couples, team- building, families, or single travelers!

    Sorting, ranking, and search results

    Activity name

    City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
