Our tour guide, Fred, was fabulous. He custom-tailored our tour for the teenagers that were with us. They learned many new and interesting facts about NYC and all want to explore more. As a native New Yorker, I thought that I knew much about the city, but Fred gave me more history of Manhattan and made the tour enjoyable. Very flexible in meeting our expectations.  Written on June 28, 2010

Absolutely amazing tour 5 hour!!! Take it, you will not regret it. It was very laid back, relaxed, packed with a lot of information in air-conditioned van, free cold water, MTA Card to Grand Central Terminal and a lot places to see. We had our reservations for Sunday morning and forecast was 94 F. We were so happy to be inside a comfy Van.

We had 8 people on the tour and Fred (our tour guide) asked everybody if there any specific place we would like to visit. I’m a former New Yorker and I took my wife for her first trip to Big Apple. I thought nothing can surprise me….I was wrong. Fred showed time and time again that there is more to learn about The City. We where so glad we went on the trip with “NY See Tours”. Thank you Fred and his crew for an amazing time. We will be back from more.

Fred tailored the tour according to the “pulse” of what the tour participants were anxious to see……or not see for that matter, lol (smile). In essence, he was overly accommodating and “anxious” to do whatever was necessary to ensure that you had a good time on the tour.

My wife and I were truly impressed and it exceeded our wildest expectations by far (smile)! Fred is a class act and I truly recommend this tour for anybody that wants an intimate, cozy, first-class experience of NY. I have never ridden the “on & off” bus to tour a city, and after this…….I don’t think I ever will, lol (smile).

NYSEE Sightseeing
NYC Night Lights and Pizza Tour
All NYSeeTours are fully escorted.

Your licensed guide and comfortable enclosed vehicle remain with you throughout your trip. Night Tour Leaves Twice a day every day from two convenient Midtown Locations

Touring New York City at night with NYSee Tours is exhilarating.  Sightseeing after dark in the Big Apple is dynamic and exciting as the city takes on a completely new and exciting demeanor.  The tour is a form of theater that unfolds as we move through the ever changing urban landscape. Your guide will use the city as a tool to engage, excite, and educate. It is the way we transmit the enthusiasm and passion that we have for New York City to you, our guests.

Our Night Tour is a two and a half to three hours tour that will allow you will see a side of New York that is not apparent during the day.  How did the Great White Way became The Great White Way; why does Times Square draw visitors from around the world; how did 42^nd Street became a center for mass entertainment?  You’ll eat a slice of fresh, tasty authentic NYC pizza at Stromboli Pizza on the Lower East Side, and then take a stroll along St Marks Place, Three short blocks between Third Avenue and Avenue A.  The singer Tom Paxton in “Talking Vietnam Blues”, wrote about a soul “Who smelled like midnight on St. Mark’s Place” The Led Zeppelin album Physical Graffiti depicts the buildings 98 & 96 on the cover. Three short blocks, history and stories.  Allegedly Peter Stuyvesant’s ghost haunts St Marks on the Bowery Church, where he is buried.

Afterward, we will head downtown, past Chinatown and Little Italy and over the Manhattan Bridge to Brooklyn. Crossing the bridge is spectacular; to your right will be the necklace of lights tracing the graceful main cables of the Brooklyn Bridge, beyond that, beautiful views of the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor. We’ll look into Dumbo (A residential neighborhood Down Under the Manhattan/Brooklyn bridge Overpass). Once across the bridge we’ll stop at the beautiful and new Fulton Ferry Park to stare across the East River at the views of lower Manhattan lit up like a fantasy as you’ve seen in countless movies. If you like you can stroll along the river or stay with your guide who will explain the history of the Brooklyn Bridge not only as an engineering marvel but the human story of the Roebling Family’s tireless efforts to conceive and build the East River Bridge. The Bridge has inspired generations of poets, artists, writers; you’ll see and feel why.

An excerpt from Crossing Brooklyn Ferry by Walt Whitman in Leaves of Grass(1819-1892):

“…Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt;  Just as any of you is one of a living crowd, I was one of a crowd;  Just as you are refresh’d by the gladness of the river and the bright flow, I was refresh’d; Just as you stand and lean on the rail, yet hurry with the swift current, I stood, yet was hurried;  Just as you look on the numberless masts of ships, and the thick-stem’d pipes of steamboats, I look’d..”

The Night Lights and Pizza Tour is fully escorted just like our Get Acquainted Tour and is perfect if you want a shorter tour with fewer stops. You will be in a fully enclosed vehicle that remains with you throughout your trip. On this exciting journey we will introduce you to New York’s history, landmarks, and attractions in a comfortable, family friendly, interactive environment.

There is no better way to “see” New York City than aboard an NYSee Sightseeing Tour.

Complimentary Bottled water is available on all tours

This was an incredible tour! I can’t stop telling people how great it was – every review I read was right on. Thank you, Fred, for giving my friend and I a wonderful tour of the city. We covered the whole city in about 6 hours – minus the tourist traps (Little Italy, etc.). Fred took us to a great pizza place in the Village, to Bethesda Fountain in Central Park, along Museum mile, Highline Park, WTC…. the list goes on. Fred has such great knowledge of the city’s history. And don’t forget your camera – Fred had no problem letting us snap pictures everywhere.

AN EXCELLENT TOUR THAT’S WORTH THE FULL PRICE!

I’ve been to New York several times, but this was my ten-year-old nephew’s first trip to New York and we had only a few days available.  I decided that a tour would give him the best overview.  I’m usually an independent traveler and suspicious of tours and tourist traps. This tour exceeded all expectations.

Fred is an excellent guide with a wide expertise. I was especially impressed with his knowledge of art and architecture. We toured with eight women on a shopping trip.  Fred was able to keep everyone happy, despite divergent interests.

My wife and I were visiting from Chicago (we’ve been to NY several times now, but never “explored” the city like we wanted to) and went on this tour yesterday and to say that it was GREAT is truly an “understatement” (smile)! Our tour guide Fred Pflantzer was EXTRAORDINARILY KNOWLEDGABLE and simply a VERY PLEASANT AND FUN guy to be around and to DEFINITELY have as a tour guide (smile). Fred tailored the tour according to the “pulse” of what the tour participants were anxious to see……or NOT see for that matter, lol (smile). In essence, he was OVERLY ACCOMODATING and “anxious” to do whatever was necesssary to ensure that you had a GOOD TIME on the tour. My wife and I were TRULY IMPRESSED and it exceeded our wildest expectations by far (smile)! Fred is a CLASS ACT and I TRULY RECOMMEND this tour for ANYBODY that wants an INTIMATE, COZY, FIRST-CLASS experience of NY. I have never ridden the “on & off” bus to tour a city, and after this…….I don’t think I ever will, lol (smile).

“New York Discount Shopping Trips”

Wholesale Shopping

$75.00

Consignment Shopping

$75.00

Something special happens when ladies shop together… Enjoy the laughter and excitement of women having a ball shopping. It’s bonding, sisterhood and fun…all at  wholesale prices.

Shopping Wholesale Private Showrooms

Enter the chic, wholesale “Not Open to the Public” designer showrooms located in the heart of NYC’s Garment District.  You’ll find of-the-moment fashions at fabulous wholesale prices.  With our professional wardrobe stylist and showroom staff, you’ll find clothing and accessories to fit your individual taste and sensibilities. All showrooms are within walking distance of each other.

You will be assisted by a friendly, professional stylist who not only knows the ins and outs of this world but also wants you to look and feel fabulous with no crowds to distract you. When you enter a showroom,  relax, enjoy, take your time, ask questions, go through the racks, and try things on. There is never any pressure to buy.

In the showrooms you might even experience the design process in action and watch fabrics being selected, patterns being cut, and samples being sewn.

This kind of shopping is so much fun and saves you lots of money on your designer purchases.

What to expect when shopping showrooms:

• Your stylist will take you to showrooms that cover a variety of styles from Beachwear to Outerwear.
• We shop in a four-block radius in the center of the Garment/Fashion District so please wear comfortable shoes.
• Make sure to eat before we start.  This is a four-hour shopping trip not a tour.
• Bring water or a snack to keep your energy up.
• Be sure to dress comfortably. You will look gorgeous later in your newly-acquired purchases.
• Outer garments should be easy to take on and off. Wear undergarments you don’t mind being seen in. Although there are no dressing rooms, we do try to set up a private area.

The showrooms carry different sizes but since designers cut differently,  it is important to try things on. If you are between sizes 0-12, you will have the most choices. There is ample selection between sizes 12-16.  Sizes 16 and up are more limited. Your stylist will direct you to the best showrooms to fit your body and style.

MADISON AVENUE FASHION CONSIGNMENT SHOPPING

Wed & Sat 10 AM – 2 PM

Cost $75.00

Consignment Shopping Trip begins at the John Sinclair Mansion

Fifth Avenue & 79th Street, SE corner

Shop at consignment boutiques located along Madison Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.  These salons offer discerning individuals authentic designer merchandise.  Most items have been gently used, often just once at an elegant affair.   Our stylist will guide you to top brands like Chanel, Gucci, D&G and more.

It’s many things, fun for sure, but not a history lesson, nor a discourse on architecture, or a place to talk politics. It is theater, a rolling drama, a unique form of entertainment that uses the city and it’s ever changing rhythms to engage, excite, and educate, but mostly it’s a way to entertain and transmit our love for New York to you, our guests.

We’ll explore neighborhoods like Greenwich Village, Chelsea, and The Lower East Side, you’ll learn how to get around, even use the subway while adjusting to the hubbub and pace of Manhattan.

Many visitors opt for the large Hop-on/Hop off double-decker buses where they are subjected to long lines and the vagaries of the weather. When you “Hop Off”, the guide stays on.  Imagine being on safari and then being left to fend for yourself.

Your NYSEE TOUR is fully escorted. Your licensed guide and the enclosed vehicle remain with you throughout your trip.

Our mission is to deliver superior customer service by introducing you to  New York’s history, landmarks and attractions in a comfortable, family friendly, interactive environment. Your guide also provides orientation to the NYC Subway and then escorts you to Grand Central on the Lexington Avenue Express where the tour will continue.

There is no better way to “see” New York City than aboard an NYSEE  Sightseeing Tour.”
