Get to Know the Different Sides of the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens! Traveling by comfortable motorcoach and accompanied by your professional licensed NYC bilingual tour guide, your day starts in the borough of Manhattan, known as “the city,” with a ride through Harlem in Upper Manhattan. Learn about the development of this diverse neighborhood and see historic sites, such as the world-renowned Apollo Theater, the debut venue for many performers like Ella Fitzgerald, The Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, and many others.
Next, you travel north to the borough of the Bronx, where you can see the home of one of the most famous baseball teams in the world: The New York Yankees! You also learn about the birth of hip-hop, and while walking along the streets, you can view original street art.
The tour continues across the East River in the borough of Queens, one of the most ethnically diverse counties in the US, whose residents speak over 100 languages. You pass through the exclusive Malba neighborhood, with its many beautiful homes, and visit Flushing Meadows Park, home of the US Open (one of the oldest tennis championships in the world), the New York Mets baseball team, and the Unisphere (leftover from the 1964 World’s Fair).
Later, you visit the borough of Brooklyn, viewing the neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Crown Heights, home to one of the largest Hasidic Jewish communities outside of Israel, alongside a younger, gentrifying non-Jewish population.
Afterward, if you booked the option with Coney Island for 7 hours, you head down to the world-famous Coney Island, a destination for New Yorkers seeking fun and relaxation for generations. Weather permitting, you have an opportunity to explore the boardwalk and to have lunch at the original, legendary Nathan’s restaurant.
Finally, you head back over the East River, passing by the historic Brooklyn Bridge on your return to Manhattan. The day’s itinerary is subject to traffic conditions and may be modified due to time constraints.
