Eastside, Westside, all around Uptown, Midtown and Downtown Manhattan…and a little of Brooklyn!


You will see world-renowned architectural and tourist sites; neighborhoods with their own special character and charm; walks on the paths and byways of spectacular Central Park; Ground Zero, with its memorials to 9/11 and the exciting new buildings going up; museums and other icons of culture and the arts; funky boutiques, world-class stores and specialty stores in SoHo, on Fifth and Madison Avenues and around Macy's; and innumerable other attractions listed below.   But this tour can also include live theatre on the streets and the stages of Broadway; fabulous dining in fabled restaurants or small "off the beaten path" treasures; and special events in Rockefeller or Lincoln Centers or the not-to-be-missed Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This is a full-day and into-the-night tour (begins at 8:00 AM and ends when you want it to). It's inclusive, rewarding and complete!

There is only one price for the tour. You can go on the tour by yourself or include up to 54 others in your private group.

(Cost works out to just $15 or less per person per day if you have a full group!)











NYC Essentials Tour is a walking and subway tour which moves at a fairly rapid pace, while still providing sufficient time for full and satisfying experiences, along with some rest, drinking and eating. Even with SteadyJoy along, you have control over the actual pace and much of what you can do and see.

Tour package also includes subway and public bus passes, photographs of you and your group members at each stop posted online for you …and some surprises.

You can choose multiple NYC Essentials Tours, spanning several days, with different sights and stops on each day. You might also choose the Run-You-Ragged Tour which is a full two days and nights.























On the NYC Essentials Tour, here are some of the sights and attractions you may see on a typical outing.*


































* (Actual sights and attractions and the time you spend at them depend on what you choose and how much time you want to spend. You can stay a longer or shorter time or even skip stops. We'll give you plenty of information to help you decide).


On all SteadyJoy guided or self-guided tours and at our special events, you and your group will come to love the sights, sounds, events, activities and even the smells and the pace of New York City as much as we do.

Experience the joys of the Big Apple with SteadyJoy.
We will always exceed all of your expectations!

The NYC Essentials Tour is a full-day tour which allows you to experience many must-see attractions and sights and explore the most exciting locations and landmarks in New York City--the City That Never Sleeps.
The tour is hosted by a licensed, expert NYC local guide and includes, as a bonus, a personalized, pocket-sized guidebook available for your use on this tour and on your own self-guided tours afterwards. We call it a Personal Event Companion (PEC).
SteadyJoy gives you suggestions of and plans for other activities and events to see and do later when your group is on its own. We give you details of how and when to see and do them. We also suggest and assist with finding great restaurants, buying theatre tickets, and getting around the city.
We suggest that you also let us set up a Broadway show and evening or lunch meals for you. You choose your own show or allow us to pick one for you and your group (try our unique 1-2-3 Suggestion System for theatre shows and dining). Theatre events may also be Off-Broadway.
New York City Essentials
We will meet you anywhere in New York City and will be your hosts and guides for the entire day and into the night.
