New York Skyline Magic - The Real Skyline With a Real Local

About this activity

Unique private tour for up to four people. Enjoy the real New York Skyline, not the partial views you get from Dumbo, observatories, rooftop bars, and helicopters. Only from across the Hudson River can you get unobstructed panoramic views of the entire New York City skyline. No lines, no waiting, no meeting points hard to find, no headaches to cancel, and no crowds! Just you and Paolo in a comfortable electric car. I'm a local who will take you to the best viewing spots, provide information about what we're seeing, and share personal stories and experiences acquired as a New Jersey Waterfront resident and while working for years in Hudson Yards and the World Trade Center, the skyline's two dominant forces. A fellow traveler who knows the value of an authentic experience, away from tourist traps, I love to show New York's #1 attraction and see the wonder on visitors' faces when they encounter the stunning New York Skyline panoramic views from New Jersey.
