New York is full of hidden treasures known only to a select few. With this tour, we want to offer you the chance to discover some of these secrets through the unique perspective of one of the city's most iconic and experienced guides. Are you in?

The adventure begins with our guide at Beacon Court where we'll discuss the uniqueness of its buildings. We'll then stop by Magnolia Bakery so you can try their famous pudding, followed by a scenic ride on the Roosevelt Island Tramway (ticket $3.00, not included) . We'll cross the East River to reach Roosevelt Island and stroll along its shores, learning more about the island and its surroundings while enjoying incredible views of the Manhattan skyline, perfect for taking unique photos of the city.

After enjoying the island views, we'll go from the air to the underground, taking the subway (using the same ticket as the cable car) back to Manhattan, where the second part of our adventure begins. We'll travel through streets filled with restaurants, parks, hidden fountains, and many more things that will surprise you.

Finally, we will end the tour at Green Acres Park, very close to Grand Central Station and the United Nations.

If you're looking for a New York City experience beyond the ordinary, this tour is for you. With a blend of unique transportation, fascinating history, and hidden gems, you'll leave with a whole new perspective on Manhattan. Let's explore NYC like never before!
