We start off our tour in New York City by heading to Ground Zero, site of the tragic event of September 11th, to pay our respects and to witness the massive rebuilding efforts. From there we head to Wall Street at the heart of the financial district, home to America's wealth and business interests.

The tour then proceeds to a Waterway cruise of the New York City harbor, where you can view the city's magnificent skyline and sights, including the busy South Street Seaport, the Statute of Liberty, and the Brooklyn Bridge from the Hudson and East River. An entertaining and informative tour guide will provide interesting narratives about all of the sights that make this city special. We will visit Rockefeller Center, NBC Studios, and the surrounding shopping district along Fifth Avenue, where cutting edge fashion and luxury brands reside. No tour of New York City would complete without a tour atop the Empire State Building, where on the 86th floor, 1,050 feet above the city's bustling streets, the Observatory offers panoramic views from within a glass enclosed pavilion.

The tour continues to the bright lights of Time Square and the Broadway Theatre District, where there is an opportunity to see celebrities up close and personal at Madame Tussaud's (optional).

Finally, we will visit the United Nations, a gathering place for 192 countries to meet and discuss important issues of the world such as peace and human rights. Since its creation in October 1945, the United Nations officially has performed crucial peacekeeping work with prominent members such as China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States. The tour then concludes in Chinatown at about 6:00pm.
