New York City Official Heritage Tours

Gray Line

New York City Visitors can take an exciting New York City History Tour!

Join Gray Line New York Sightseeing and The History Channel as you experience New York City's rich history as never before - aboard a time-traveling trolley bus.

Your tour guide, an expert in NYC history, dressed in authentic historic costume, provides commentary from the perspective of a renowned historic figure of a bygone era.

Visitors will experience the glory of New York City from its founding by the Dutch in 1626, to its role in the American Revolution, to George Washington's poignant address bidding his troops farewell at the end of the war and the public reading of the Declaration of Independence at the southwest corner of City Hall Park.

This 90 minute journey through time is aboard a comfortable and picturesque "trolley bus". Gray Line New York Sightseeing's signature "hop-on, hop-off" service makes it possible for visitors to explore the city at 10 stops through their own pace - and walk historic districts on their own.
