See also SIGHTSEEING.

A favorite way to start your visit to New York, especially in good weather, is a tour on the top deck of one of the private double-decker bus tours. A typical tour covers either Lower Manhattan (below Chambers Street) or Upper Manhattan, and has 20 or more stops where you can get off and visit the sights and then get back on the next bus. Buses run every 30 minutes.

Some tours allow you two days to see all the sights. There are also specialized tours of Manhattan by Night.
