A tour showing the soul of New York

5.00An essential experience in New York We did the Central Park tour and the 9/11 Memorial in one day and it was an amazing experience. The combination of nature, history and excitement makes the tour very complete and meaningful. Walking through Central Park with a guide who explains the stories behind every corner — from iconic bridges to movie venues — brings the park to life in a different way. Then visiting the 9/11 Memorial is a very moving moment. The guide explained with great respect and sensitivity what happened, the significance of the memorial and how the city has transformed that place into a space of memory and hope. It is a very well organized tour, perfect for those who want to better understand the history, culture and spirit of New York in no time.
The best way to see New York in a day: VIP, stress-free and in Spanish

5.00Just spectacular! We traveled as a family and decided to take the New York City Tour in one day with Real’s Tours NYC. At first we worried that it would be tired, but it was the opposite. Best of all was the VIP pickup at our hotel; you forget to guess how to use the subway early. The tour is super complete: we walked through Central Park, saw the magic of Rockefeller Center and Fifth Avenue, and were very moved by the 9/11 Memorial. Logistics is 10. We end the day with amazing views of the Statue of Liberty from the ferry and walking along the High Line. You can tell they love what they do; the guide gave us great tips and made us feel at home. If you come from Mexico or anywhere in Latin America, make no doubt: it is the smartest investment to know Manhattan for real. We'd repeat a thousand times.

During the tour we visited Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Terminal, Park Avenue and Memorial 9/11, as well as enjoying the views of the Statue of Liberty from the ferry.

Undoubtedly a very complete and fully recommended tour.
Wordless New York's Best Tour

5.00We had little time and this day tour was salvation. We saw Central Park, the 9/11 Memorial and a thousand other corners without the burden of getting lost in the subway. The meeting point is super central and easy to find, which greatly speeds up the start. Our guide was a 10, with stories that are not in the guides. A 100% taken advantage of day! Recommended
