Private Bus Tours in NYC
New York City has more attractions than most groups can see in a single day. A private sightseeing trip allows you to build the itinerary around the places your group actually wants to visit, whether that means spending the day in Manhattan, crossing into Brooklyn, visiting museums, seeing famous landmarks, or combining several neighborhoods into one tour.
NYC Bus Tours can be arranged for school groups, family reunions, corporate outings, social organizations, visitors, and other private groups. Start with your preferred attractions and travel dates, then plan transportation around your group’s schedule. Some groups want a broad introduction to the city, while others arrive with a detailed list of specific places they want to see.
For Private Bus Tours in NYC, it is important to think about the time spent at each stop as well as the distance between them. A day that includes several timed attractions, a meal reservation, and multiple neighborhoods should be planned differently than a tour focused on one area of the city. Charter bus rentals in New York are available for any occasion including personalized tours and day trips of the city. Our charter buses services are perfect for long trips with onboard Wi-Fi, televisions, and restrooms.

Highlights of Our NYC Bus Tours
New York Bus Tours can include famous landmarks, but the best itinerary usually combines major attractions with the neighborhoods surrounding them.
Midtown Manhattan
Midtown is home to many of the places visitors immediately associate with New York City, including Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Broadway theaters, Grand Central Terminal, and the Empire State Building. Because many attractions are close together, Midtown can work well as part of a sightseeing day that includes time to explore on foot.
Central Park and Uptown Manhattan
Groups can plan a stop near Central Park and combine it with museums or other Upper Manhattan attractions. Depending on the itinerary, this part of the city can also be included with Midtown or as part of a museum-focused tour.
Downtown Manhattan
Downtown offers a different side of New York City sightseeing, with the Financial District, Wall Street, the 9/11 Memorial area, historic sites, and access to ferries serving nearby destinations. Groups planning to visit the Statue of Liberty or Ellis Island should account for the additional time required for ferry transportation and security.
Brooklyn and DUMBO
A sightseeing itinerary can also cross into Brooklyn for views of the Manhattan skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge area, DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights, museums, restaurants, and other attractions. Groups can combine Manhattan and Brooklyn in the same day, although the itinerary should leave enough time for each stop.
