About this tour
See Manhattan unfold from the saddle on a New York City Manhattan Bike Tour that links riverfront paths, leafy park loops, and lively downtown streets. Over about five hours and 20 miles, a local guide shares stories behind the city’s landmarks while you cover more ground than you could on foot.
Start near the Manhattan Bridge and follow the East River waterfront toward South Street Seaport and Battery Park, where views stretch to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Continue along the Hudson River Greenway and through the Upper West Side, then pause for a food break before riding Central Park’s loop. The route heads through Midtown, passing Times Square, the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Plaza, and St. Patrick’s Cathedral, before winding through Washington Square Park, the West Village, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown.
A bike, helmet, and guide are provided. Bring ID, dress for the weather, and plan to purchase your own food and drinks during the stop. Choose a morning or afternoon departure and discover New York City Manhattan by bike, one neighborhood at a time.

How this score is calculated

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.9.
