Description

Discover New York from three different perspectives on a sightseeing experience that combines a cable car, a walking tour, and a ferry ride.

The adventure begins at 9:00 a.m. in front of Matto Espresso, at 1105 2nd Avenue, just a few steps from the Roosevelt Island Tramway station.

Together with your live guide, you'll board the iconic Roosevelt Island Cable Car, from where you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the East River, the Queensboro Bridge, and the East Side skyline of Manhattan.

Upon arrival at Roosevelt Island, we'll take a guided tour of the southern part of the island. We'll explore the Cornell Tech and Graduate Roosevelt Island area and then head to Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park, one of the most peaceful and photogenic places in New York.

From different points on the island, you'll be able to see some of the most recognizable buildings on the Manhattan skyline, as well as views of Long Island City and the famous Pepsi-Cola Sign in Gantry Plaza State Park.

We'll then continue the experience on board the ferry for a cruise along the East River to Lower Manhattan. During the tour, we'll enjoy magnificent views of the skyline and some of New York's most famous bridges, including the Williamsburg Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, and the Brooklyn Bridge.

A different way to discover New York, combining views from above, walking tours, and panoramas from the water.

Duration: approximately 4 hours.

The skylines of Lower Manhattan and East Manhattan will accompany you throughout the journey, with their most famous skyscrapers and vantage points seen from the water. Along the way, we'll also pass by Governors Island, a small historic island with spectacular views of the bay. And as a grand finale, we'll sail right next to the Statue of Liberty before disembarking at Battery Park.

Good to know before you go
  • Comfortable shoes are recommended, as there are short walks at each stop during the activity. The itinerary may vary slightly depending on traffic or weather conditions to ensure a better experience. The return to Manhattan from Hoboken is not included with the tour guide, as each guest can return on their own on the PATH Train, with a journey time of approximately 8 minutes. This excursion is ideal for those who want to discover New York from different and less conventional perspectives.
