A great way to see the city at night and hear a little about the history that one may not know. Our guide was awesome

Fun and different tour in NYC!
Jenny was our tour guide in mid-December... she was amazing! Knowledgeable about the area, lots of fun trivia facts, and super friendly and accommodating in stopping for a few when we needed it, taking our photo at various stops, etc. The donuts were delicious (of course..... is there EVER a bad donut?) and tour length was just right at approx two hours. Highly recommend if you're in NYC and looking for a fun, different kind of tour.

Nice experience. Beautiful views and cool guide. Little confusion with the finding location but that’s not something to give less stars ❤️

Q:Can you walk around Times Square New York?
A:
Yes, you can walk around Times Square—and for many, that's the best way to soak up its ineffable energy, as well as its over-the-top lights, sounds, and street energy. Many segments of the Manhattan neighborhood have been pedestrianized, making it even more walker-friendly—just prepare for some serious crowds.
Q:What time of day is best to visit Times Square?
A:
That depends on what you want to see and do. If you want to visit without big crowds, come early in the morning. However, Times Square comes alive after dark, when its enormous billboards light up the night. Stop by before or after a Broadway show for maximum effect.
