We will begin the Contrasts tour in New York City at 8:00 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. (depending on the location of your hotel and the designated stop). Our first destination will be the Boulevard East Observation Deck, located in Alexander Hamilton Park in New Jersey.

This stop is the perfect place to take stunning photos and take in the beauty of Manhattan from a panoramic perspective. We'll continue our tour along the Hudson River, passing through the charming towns of Edgewater and Fort Lee. These towns, bathed by the calm waters of the river, provide a picturesque atmosphere and a pleasant experience during the journey. Our next point of interest will be the Fort Lee Historic Park, where you can delight in the view of the George Washington Bridge (which connects Manhattan to the Bronx) and the Hudson River. These initial stops on the tour will not only provide you with spectacular views, but will also allow you to capture unique moments and familiarize yourself with some of the city's most notable architectural and natural landmarks.
After a well-deserved break to take photos and contemplate the city, we will cross the George Washington Bridge and enter the famous Bronx neighborhood.
