New York is one of those huge cities, where you have thousands of things to see and do. Surely on your first trip you will focus on Manhattan, the place that brings together the most well-known and visited places, although we recommend that you also approach some of the many multi-cultural districts that the city has and that is worth knowing as Brooklyn , Harlem or Queens.
To meet them you can do some excursions in New York, like the famous Contrast Tour or fly over Manhattan by helicopter. If you have several days, another option is to do some tour outside the city, and although you do not believe it, in one day we have many tours and excursions that are worthwhile such as Niagara Falls or Washington DC .
We have made a list of what we believe are the 10 best tours and excursions in New York in Spanish.
1. Contrast Tour
The Contrast Tour is the most famous excursion and one of the best tours and excursions in New York in Spanish. Above all, it is recommended if it is the first time you travel to the Big Apple to be able to have a first contact with the Harlem, Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn areas, which are further away from the typical Manhattan route. If you book the New York Contrast Tour, they will pick you up at the hotel or at a specific meeting point at the time of booking with a van or small bus, depending on the influx of people with whom they will take you to Harlem, Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn while they explain to you on the way the history of each of the districts, their curiosities and anecdotes with a guide in Spanish. The tour lasts approximately 5 hours and at the end it gives you the possibility of staying in the Brooklyn Bridge area, a perfect option to get to know the area for free and why not, approach Grimaldi's to taste a pizza.
We did the New York Contrast Tour on Saturday, to be able to see the atmosphere in Williamsburg, since this is the sacred day of Orthodox Jews and we thought it was a added to everything I already offered this excursion in New York.
Another quieter option is to book the VIP Contrast tour that takes place in a minibus with a maximum of 15 people.

2. Excursion to Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is one of the natural wonders of the world. With the viewpoints on both sides of the border available throughout the year, this is another of the excursions in New York more in demand We have to keep in mind that summer is the most affluent season and hotels soar if we do night, while in winter there is the possibility of finding it frozen, something that, incidentally, does not detract from spectacularity, but everything contrary. The Canadian side offers the best views, but it is interesting to visit both sides. And of course, we cannot stop doing the boat tour to get as close as possible to the waterfall and hear its shocking noise.
If you only have one day, you can choose to do the plane excursion in one day from New York although the price is much higher than if we do it in two days by bus, so it is worth reserving a couple of days to get close Even this wonder of nature.

3. Helicopter Tour
This is one of the tours we have the best memories of our trip to New York in 11 days. Although the flight lasts about 15 or 20 minutes we can assure you that you will enjoy spectacular views of Manhattan, the Hudson River and the Statue of Liberty. Moreover, we assure you that you will not have eyes or camera to capture everything that is feel from up there. After our experience, we recommend doing the helicopter tour in New York at noon, when the sun is as high as possible and thus not be able to face it in order to have the best views and also take better photos. The New York heliport is located in the southern part of the island, on pier 6, very close to the financial zone, so a good combination would be to visit the area in the morning, and then do the tour at noon.

4. Excursion to Washington DC
The excursion to Washington DC is one of the best excursions in New York. In addition to the famous White House and the United States Capitol, we can visit many other interesting places such as the Air and Space Museum or the Natural History Museum, the Arlington Cemetery, the Lincoln Memorial and many other monuments dedicated to Great moments in the history of the United States. You can go from New York to Washington by train from Pennsylvania Station in about 3 hours and measured. If you prefer you can also opt for the bus, something cheaper, but with which it will take about 5 hours. In this list you will find many of the things to see in Washington DC.

5. Night tour of New York
If New York already impresses by day, touring it at night is spectacular. And we must bear in mind that at night not only Times Square in New York is remarkable. Despite its large and impressive neon signs announced its shows, this area is only one more from the city.
After our experience, we recommend that you spend a few hours discovering the Ferry to Staten Island, one of the best free things in New York, where you will enjoy some amazing views of manhattan at night and of the Statue of Liberty.
Another highlight of New York night is the Brooklyn bridge from where you will have incredible views of Manhattan, not only while crossing the bridge, but also from several viewpoints in Brooklyn.
Another of the essential night views is to climb the Top of the Rock or the Empire State Building, from where you can have the entire illuminated city at your feet. And as a final climax, nothing like doing a cruise and touring the Hudson River while dining with unrepeatable views of New York.

6. Excursion to Boston
The Boston trip is another one of the best tours and excursions in New York in Spanish. Although you could spend several days in Boston, if you don't have so much time you can always make a quick one-day visit from New York. As with Washington DC, we can choose the train from Pennsylvania Station, with which we will arrive in Boston in a journey of about 3 hours or decide on the bus, much cheaper but somewhat slower, since with it it will take us some 4 hours. Once in Boston you can tour its historic center, visit Harvard University, relax in the harbor area, stroll through the Quincy Market, make the Freedom Trail or seek tranquility in the Boston Public Garden. You dare?

7. Mass Gospel and Harlem tour, one of the best tours and excursions in New York in Spanish
One of the things we had marked in red on our New York neighborhood itinerary was to attend a gospel mass in Harlem. We went to the Bethel Gospel Assembly church at the Gospel Mass at 8 in the morning, one Sunday and although we were quite a few tourists, we can say that we all entered without problems. The access to the church, as well as the attendance to the mass is free but it is or should be almost an obligation to be generous with the donation that they ask for, since the Mass, of almost 3 hours, well deserves it.
After Mass we can tour the harlem district, visiting places like the Apollo Theater or Cotton Club, although afterwards you can not stop walking aimlessly until you finish at a restaurant to eat the typical Sunday brunch. In this list of 10 things to see and do in Harlem you can take ideas to visit the neighborhood.

8. Outlets shopping tour
And we can not forget that New York is the city of shopping and shops of all kinds, whatever you are looking for. If we want to save enough money, especially in brands such as Levi's, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and many others, with discounts from 20% to 70% it is best to go to New York outlets. The most famous and with more stores are The Woodbury Common Premium Outlet, Outlet Jersey Gardens or Outlet CENTURY 21. They say that The Woodbury Common Premium Outlet is the best outlet in New York, is an hour by bus and is like a small Town full of shops. The Jersey Gardens Outlet is 45 minutes away by bus and it is important to take your passport since with it you can ask for discount coupons! Finally Century 21 is the smallest but it is located in Manhattan next to a subway stop, making it the most accessible of all.

9. Excursion to Philadelphia and the Amish region
Another one of the good ones excursions in New York in Spanish It is that of Philadelphia and the Amish region. Philadelphia, the city where the independence of Great Britain was declared, has many points of interest such as the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, President's House Site, Christ Church Cemetery, Benjamin Franklin Bridge, the historic center or the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where we can repeat the famous scene of the movie Rocky running up the stairs. If we also add that we can also visit the Amish region of Lancaster, don't you think it's a great excursion from New York?

10. Manhattan tour
Manhattan is the center and the most famous district in New York, where almost all points of interest are concentrated and where you will surely spend most of your trip. Being able to get lost in neighborhoods such as China Town, Little Italy, Soho, Tribeca, see a musical or a play in Times Square or go shopping on Fifth Avenue are just some of the things that Manhattan offers you and that is that we could be days and days naming activities, each one more interesting. You do not believe it? We give you some more ideas: have a picnic in Central Park, climb the Top of the Rock and Empire State Building viewpoints, stroll through the Financial District, enter the Rockefeller Center, visit many of its museums such as Natural History, the Metropolitan, the Moma or the Museum of 11S, try restaurants and meals from around the world, browse in original stores and ... so we could continue until tomorrow.
