Charters Buses for New York City Sightseeing

Going to New York City? Take it from me– DON’T DRIVE! I mean, if you want an enjoyable visit, that is. We in Upstate usually take a train or plane down, and use bus transportation for our sightseeing. The traffic in New York City can be extremely harrowing, and a lot of times, you spend more energy dodging traffic and waiting in gridlock than doing any sightseeing!
I recommend charter buses for New York City Tours, particularly CitySightsNY. They are a well-established, highly accredited tourist charter bus organization, recognized by the Travel Industry Association of America, Student & Youth Travel, the American Bus Association, and others. And if you go to their website– CitySightsNY.com, you’ll see all their packages with prices and descriptive details about every tour. The bus tours are really fun– CitySightsNY.com offers their unique double-decker bus tour for a really unique way of seeing the city! CitySightsNY.com covers all of New York City Uptown and Downtown, Brooklyn, and various other locations in the tri-city area. They also offer various packages to museums, landmarks, shopping areas, and one-day escorted motorcoach tours to Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia. There’s a terrific special of Uptown, Downtown, Brooklyn, night tour combo for $49 right now– a phenomenal deal!
I love this site– and you can order tickets online, too, and get $5 off your order. Or, if you prefer the personal touch, call them directly at 212-812-2700. You can also check the site for helicopter rides and harbor cruises! Prices are very reasonable, I think. And you won’t ever have to worry about the hassle of driving AND trying to sightsee in the world’s largest city.
The Shuttle Bug!

Take it from me– driving your own vehicle in the boroughs of New York City can be a frightening experience! Not only are you competing for asphalt with zillions of other vehicles and public transportation vehicles, there are the pedestrians and bicyclists to contend with. And they are crazed! The pedestrians and bikers veer in and out of moving cars and buses, and it is a network of insanity! I know because I used to be a pedestrian! Traffic lights? Pedestrian crossways? Ha! I will never, never, never drive my own car to NYC, never. Either I’ll take the train down or take a plane. And from there, we’ll get shuttle service.
GO Airlink Shuttle is one of the best transportation services for the city. They offer, among other services, a timely and speedy JFK Car Service, with shared-ride airport service, or private vehicles if you request. GO Airlink Shuttle serves all the city and surrounding areas, including LaGuardia, airports in Newark, NJ, to Manhattan, Westchester, Connecticut, and more. They’ll take you anywhere you need to go. The experienced and professional drivers are undaunted by the crazy NYC traffic, and will safely land you at your destination. GO Airlink Shuttle is an official permit holder by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and are members of the Travel Industry of America, the American Bus Association, the Student-Youth Travel Association, and others. Consider GO Airlink Shuttle when you need to get around in New York and New Jersey!

Visiting or passing through New York City or the surrounding areas? You could always take a taxi (and pay through the nose!).
