Planning a trip to the Big Apple

It's been 10 long years since I've traveled to New York with my family, and to be honest, I'm a bit overwhelmed when it comes to planning which sites to see and if I will actually have the time.

I figured this time around I would look into some New York Tours. You know the ones that include a fun and exciting ride on a double-decker bus to all the local sites.

Initially when I started planning my trip, I knew I wanted to visit the harbor, the local museums, go shopping to all of the trendy stores, and let’s not forget catch a glimpse of the Manhattan skyline at night from the Brooklyn waterfront.

Knowing that I was on a tight budget, and seeing all the sites individually would have cost me fortune, I decided to search for a package that would combine admission and tickets to the local attractions. I was thrilled to find a site that allowed me to stick to my budget, while not missing all of the sites I wanted to see.

The package included:

• Downtown Tour
• Uptown Treasures & Harlem Tour
• Night Tour
• Brooklyn Tour
• Free admission to Museum of the City of New York
• Circle Line 75min Harbor Cruise
• Ticket to Top of the Rock Observation Deck or Empire State Building Observation Deck (You Choose) • Woodbury Common day trip

My package only cost me $114.00, which was a savings of several hundred dollars. The harbor cruise alone can cost up to $100.00 for one person if you purchase them separately. In my opinion, this was the perfect way to go if traveling to New York and you’re on a budget.
