Itinerary

Harlem

Passing by

Our first stop touches the heart. We’ll head into Harlem, a neighborhood that pulses with history and pride. From the comfort of the bus, we’ll travel down the legendary 125th Street to see the facades of the Cotton Club—where the nightlife came alive in the 1920s—and the Apollo Theater, the hallowed stage where stars like Michael Jackson were born. Take a deep breath: here, African American heritage is felt on every corner.
Bronx

one hour

Afraid of the Bronx? Not at all! Let’s discover the true birthplace of hip-hop and salsa.

Yankee Territory: We’ll stop in front of the majestic Yankee Stadium, the mecca of baseball worldwide.

Movie Icon: The moment you’ve been waiting for! We’ll walk down the famous Joker Stairs in Highbridge for 15 minutes. Get ready to strike your best villain pose.

Street Art: We’ll walk around to admire the most authentic murals, including the tribute to rapper Big Pun and the famous “I Love The Bronx” graffiti. Pure art that tells the story of the borough’s struggle.
Queens

one hour

Welcome to the most ethnically diverse district on the planet. The contrast here is striking: we’ll go from seeing the luxurious private mansions in Malba to feeling small in the face of history at Flushing Meadows Park. We’ll get off to take a photo with the giant Globe (Unisphere), the setting for “Men in Black.” Plus, from the bus, you’ll see the grandeur of the Mets’ stadium and the US Open National Tennis Center.
Williamsburg

one hour

Get ready for the most fascinating culture shock. As we cross into Brooklyn, we’ll get off the bus for a guided walking tour of the Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. It’s like traveling back to the last century: traditional black clothing, hats, and curly side curls, school buses with Hebrew signs, and a way of life far removed from the hustle and bustle of modern life. An experience of respect and curiosity that’s unique in the world.
Dumbo

2 hours

When the tour ends in Brooklyn, you’ll have two great options for making the most of the rest of your day:

Option A (DUMBO): Get off here to take that iconic photo with the Manhattan Bridge in the background, grab a bite to eat at Grimaldi’s, and walk across the Brooklyn Bridge toward Manhattan to enjoy the best views of the skyline.

Option B (Chinatown & Little Italy): Stay with us on the bus until the end of the route. Ideal if you’d rather finish by getting lost among the red lanterns, shopping for souvenirs, or enjoying some cannoli in Little Italy.
