New York · AUDIO TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 3 audio tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Ride an open-top bus for about 90 minutes through New York after dark. You will see Times Square, the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, both famous East River bridges, Wall Street, One World Trade Center, and more, with recorded narration in 11 languages.
“They don't leave on time, bad customer service, no heat on the bus. Took three hours to get back in to town.”
Use the Unlimited Biking app to explore Lower Manhattan, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Brooklyn at your own pace. GPS-guided stops include local history, movie sites, photo spots, food suggestions, and public restrooms. Bring your own bike, walk, or arrange a separate rental.
Follow a GPS-guided audio walk through Prospect Park, from the JFK Memorial and Grand Army Plaza to the Ravine, waterfalls, Boathouse, Concert Grove, lake, and Picnic House. You set the pace, listen offline, and can replay the tour for life.
“I used Apple Maps along side the tour to help keep me on track. It’s a wonderful, entertaining and educational tour and I highly recommend it to get the most out of a visit to Prospect Park. It’s quite a long walk and there are some stairs involved, so be aware if that presents a challenge for you. Wear comfy shoes and your Air Buds, and bring water and snacks. There are loads of photo ops! Also you will have to walk about 1/2 mi further to exit the park at the end of the tour.”
Pick a borough, a boat or a booking.
