Explore 250 years of New York City history on a double-decker XR bus tour, ending with an augmented reality Times Square finale.

About this tour

See New York City’s past and present blend on an immersive XR bus tour through 250 years of history. From the upper deck of a double-decker bus, take in the city’s streets while interactive worlds bring its stories to life.

Guided by Liberty, the Spirit of Freedom, you’ll encounter six stories inspired by the New York Public Library, Grand Central Terminal, the Brooklyn Bridge, MoMA, Broadway, and Times Square. XR sequences recreate places including the subway and Brooklyn Bridge virtually; the bus does not physically visit the bridge. Music, narration, and visual effects add atmosphere, while a special augmented reality finale transforms the view of Times Square.

The 45-minute New York City XR bus tour offers a fresh way to connect familiar landmarks with the city’s history. Admission to attractions is not included. Meet at the bus stop on Broadway at West 51st Street, settle in, and experience New York through a new lens.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

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 7.0.
