"Visiting New York City and Not Missing Anything!"
Can you see all the very best of New York City in 48 hours? It sure would be fun to try. Gray Line’s All Double Decker 48-Hour Tour is actually four tours in one: Uptown Loop, Downtown Loop, Brooklyn Loop, and Night Tour.
That’s a whole lot of Manhattan and Brooklyn!
And now you can upgrade your experience on BestofNewYork.com with tickets at low prices for the VIP All Access Pass. Guests that choose this option will receive a lanyard that affords them a separate line with priority boarding privileges. Plus, you can board any other affiliated double decker bus at specific key stops -- Gray Line NY, CitySights NY, Big Pink and City Sightseeing ® Cruises.
The Uptown Loop sets off for the history and romance of this unique part of New York City. What could be better than an afternoon exploring the culture and surroundings of Uptown?
But perhaps it’s Downtown you desire: the fabulous shopping in cool SoHo, the style of eclectic Greenwich Village, and the delicious foods of little Italy. Gray Line’s comprehensive tour will get you there!
And when the sun goes down, check out special places like the Empire State Building and the Manhattan Bridge when they come to life at night. When holiday season arrives, the Night tour becomes a tour of holiday lights, featuring stops by the famous Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center and the store window displays and holiday decorations from many of New York City’s most well-known department stores.
If you want to see all of New York City, Gray Line has designed a special 48-hour outing that will help you not to miss a thing!
