The Contrasts of New York tour, also known as the New York neighborhoods tour, is the most comprehensive and famous tour in New York. With an approximate duration of 5 hours, this guided tour in Spanish will allow you to get to know the most emblematic neighborhoods of the Big Apple: the Bronx, Queens, Harlem and Brooklyn. Immerse yourself in the fascinating cultural contrast of the city that never sleeps with the help of an expert guide. Our guide will share with you valuable historical and cultural information at each place we visit, adding an extra dimension to your experience.
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 is a unique aspect that sets our tour apart from other Contrasts tours available, as we offer the chance to cross the Hudson River and explore the contrasts of the Big Apple from New Jersey. From this viewing deck, you'll be able to enjoy a privileged view of Manhattan. You'll watch the imposing skyscrapers and skyline unfold before your eyes, creating an unforgettable visual spectacle. 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. Our first stop in this vibrant place will be at the legendary Yankee Baseball Stadium. As we explore the Bronx, we'll head to Fort Apache, best known as the police station where the movie Apache District starring Paul Newman was filmed. We'll continue our tour to the South Bronx, where you can see the abundant graffiti and memorials dedicated to gang members who died in street fights. Don't miss the opportunity to photograph the famous graffiti by the famous Puerto Rican rapper Big Pun. And of course, a visit to the Bronx wouldn't be complete without immortalizing the famous Joker Staircase, a must-see attraction for movie lovers.
Our next destination will be Queens, an ethnically diverse enclave in the United States. We'll explore the charming residential neighborhoods of Whitestone and Malta. These neighborhoods are made up of Hispanic, Asian, Greek, Polish and Caribbean communities, and more recently have attracted young professionals from Manhattan. You will discover the curiosities of daily life in Queens and we will visit the Mets Stadium. We will make a stop at the Flushing Meadows Park and the Arthur Ashe National Tennis Stadium, where the US Open Tennis is held.
Continuing with the cultural contrast of this excursion, we will enter the vibrant Jewish neighborhood of Williamsburg in Brooklyn. This place is recognized as the epicenter of the Orthodox Jewish community in New York and is considered the second largest Orthodox Jewish community in the world. You will experience a remarkable change in culture, language, religion, customs and lifestyle as you immerse yourself in this fascinating area of Brooklyn.
To conclude the tour, we will head to the picturesque neighborhood of DUMBO in Brooklyn, where you can photograph the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. This is where our excursion of contrasts comes to an end. If you wish, you can take the bus back to Hudson Yards or tell your guide that you prefer to stay on your own to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge or enjoy the area's culinary offerings.
