Description

Experience the magic of Christmas in New York City on a guided rickshaw tour that combines the best of Midtown Manhattan’s festive sights and Central Park’s winter wonderland. With Santa-themed stops, charming holiday decorations, and picturesque winter views, this tour is the perfect way to soak in the holiday spirit with a personal touch. Kick off your holiday adventure in Bryant Park, where you'll get a glimpse of the famous Winter Village with its ice skating rink and holiday shops. Santa often makes appearances here for photos, adding a whimsical start to your ride. Your rickshaw guide will share the history of Bryant Park as you pass by, stopping to capture photos with the park's giant Christmas tree. Santa sightings are a bonus. The iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is a must-see during the holidays. A stop here is perfect for those classic NYC Christmas photos with the tree and the skating rink in the background. Your rickshaw driver will take you right up to the plaza for an unforgettable view of the tree. If you're lucky, you might even catch Santa in the area. Known for its elaborate holiday displays, Fifth Avenue comes alive with incredible Christmas windows. You'll get a personal guided view of the window displays from Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy's, and more. Your guide will take you along Fifth Avenue, stopping at the most famous stores so you can enjoy their stunning holiday windows, often filled with Santa and Christmas-themed scenes. The Plaza Hotel, one of NYC’s most famous landmarks, is beautifully decorated for the holidays. You’ll have the option to stop for a quick photo or grab a holiday treat at the hotel. While in front of The Plaza, your guide will share stories about the hotel's historical significance and its annual holiday transformation. You can also peek inside at the festive lobby. No holiday tour would be complete without experiencing the magic of Central Park in winter. Enjoy a peaceful horse-drawn carriage ride through the park’s snowy paths, with iconic landmarks like Bow Bridge and Bethesda Terrace along the way. Your rickshaw will take you to the carriage ride entrance, where you can add this cozy experience to your tour for an extra dose of holiday charm. The Central Park Zoo, beautifully festive during the winter, is a hidden gem for holiday fun. Santa often visits the zoo for family-friendly events, and you may catch a glimpse of him while you're there. Your guide will lead you through the park’s serene pathways, with a potential stop at the zoo for photos or to explore the seasonal animal exhibits. It’s a peaceful, magical part of the tour. Wollman Rink is one of New York’s most picturesque ice skating rinks, offering an iconic view of Central Park and the city skyline. For those interested in skating, the rickshaw ride will take you to the rink where you can join the skaters or simply take in the scene while enjoying the winter landscape.
