5.00Our guide Shawn was very entertaining and informative during our night bus tour. My seven-year-old was engaged and laughing along for the full 90 minutes, which tells you something. I’d absolutely recommend checking this out for families who want an easy and fun way to introduce kids to New York. Thanks, Shawn!
Great views!
