Full description Discover the best of New York on a full day tour of the city's most iconic sights, from Manhattan's vibrant financial district to the heights of Top of the Rock, the famous observation deck at Rockefeller Center. This private tour will take you to the iconic sites that define the essence of the Big Apple, giving you an immersive and enriching experience.

Begin your adventure at Battery Park, a historic site offering spectacular views of the Statue of Liberty. Here you will learn about the origins of New Amsterdam, the Dutch colony that eventually became the world-famous New York City. Your guide will take you through the story of how this metropolis became the heart of America, with the imposing Statue of Liberty as a symbol of hope and freedom.

From Battery Park, you will continue to the financial centre of Wall Street, where you will have the opportunity to see the iconic statues of the ‘Bull of Wall Street’ and the ‘Girl with No Fear’. This area is the economic epicentre of the country, and here you can learn about the history behind institutions such as the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank, understanding how Alexander Hamilton, one of America's founding fathers, helped design the financial system that now governs much of the world.

Next stop will be one of New York's most poignant sites: the 9/11 Memorial at Ground Zero. Here, on the site where the Twin Towers once stood, you will pay tribute to the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The memorial is a space of reflection and remembrance that leaves no one untouched, and your guide will provide you with detailed context about the events that changed modern history.

Next, you will embark on an authentic New York experience: a ride on New York's famous underground. This mode of transport will take you to Midtown Manhattan, the heart of the city and home to some of the city's most iconic skyscrapers and attractions. When you arrive in Midtown, your first stop will be the majestic Grand Central Terminal, the most iconic train station in the United States. With its impressive Beaux-Arts architecture and celestial ceiling mural, Grand Central is also the setting for numerous films and TV series. It is also a centre for shopping and dining, where you can enjoy a delicious lunch with recommendations from your guide.

After recharging your batteries, the tour continues to bustling Midtown, known for its lively theatre scene on Broadway and luxury shopping on Fifth Avenue. You'll stroll through Bryant Park, a green oasis surrounded by towering buildings, and admire the New York Public Library, with its iconic lions guarding the entrance. From here, you will have a spectacular view of some of the city's most famous skyscrapers, such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, true examples of the Art Deco style that defined New York's architecture in the 20th century.

Your walk along Fifth Avenue will take you past the dazzling window displays of Saks, one of the city's most luxurious department stores, and just across the street, you'll be amazed by the imposing St. Patrick's Cathedral. This impressive neo-Gothic church, opened in 1879, is a fascinating contrast to the modern skyscrapers that surround it. St. Patrick's is famous for its majestic spires, stained glass windows and colossal bronze doors. The cathedral has been the scene of historic funerals, including those of celebrities such as Babe Ruth and Robert F. Kennedy.

The tour continues to Times Square, known as the ‘crossroads of the world’. Always vibrant and full of energy, this square is famous for its huge neon signs and billboards. Here you can feel the real pulse of New York as you explore the Broadway theatre district and soak up the electrifying atmosphere that characterises this corner of Manhattan.

Finally, the tour concludes with a visit to the famous Top of the Rock, the observation deck atop Rockefeller Center. From here, you will have an unparalleled panoramic view of New York, with Central Park and the Hudson River at your feet and the skyscrapers of Manhattan stretching as far as the eye can see. Your guide will provide you with tickets to enjoy this experience at your own pace, letting the dazzling cityscape be the perfect icing on the cake for an unforgettable day in the city that never sleeps.
