New York Highlights Bike Tour

About this experience

New York Highlights Bike Tour tickets: see Manhattan by bike in one morning Book New York Highlights Bike Tour tickets for a guided 3 hour 30 minute ride through Manhattan with a licensed New York City tour guide. Starting from the bike shop at 56 West 56th Street, just south of Central Park, you cover around 15 miles of the city at a relaxed pace, from the Hudson River waterfront down to Lower Manhattan and back through Midtown. It is one of the easiest ways to see a lot of New York in a single morning without spending your time on the subway, and the guide adds stories and local context at every stop. Your ticket includes the guided tour, a hybrid bicycle or electric bicycle for the whole ride, a helmet and a bicycle basket or bicycle bag, so all you need to bring is yourself, your ID and a credit card. Groups are capped at 15 riders per guide, which keeps the stops relaxed and gives everyone time for photos. The route: from Midtown to Lower Manhattan and back The ride heads west past Lincoln Center towards the Hudson River and the High Line, with stops planned around Hudson Yards and the Vessel sculpture and Little Island, the park built on concrete columns over the river. From there the route continues south through Greenwich Village, past the Stonewall Inn and the Washington Square Arch, and on through SoHo, Little Italy and Chinatown. In Lower Manhattan you ride past Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange and the Charging Bull, the World Trade Center and Battery Park, where you can look across the harbour to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The tour passes the Brooklyn Bridge before heading north again through Midtown, with views of the Flatiron Building and the Empire State Building on the way back to the bike shop on 56th Street. The guide may adjust the route, pace and order of stops for the group's riding experience, traffic, weather and safety.
