For eco minded folks like me looking for fun things to do in new York, I did a couple of walking tours. For no particular reason, after looking at their reviews on tripadvisor I settled on Uncle Sam’s New York. I did two 2 hour tours with them. After going on the SKYRIDE and the Empire State Building, I sort of picked out 2 areas that I thought would be of interest. One was the South Street seaport and the other was the Alexander Hamilton Financial tour.
As a former native New Yorker I came with a bit of concern if this would really be interesting. Those concerns were immediately allayed as their guides were terrific and the tours were most interesting and entertaining. While there are smartphone applications and guide books, both of which are informative, there is nothing like a human talking to you to make the experience complete.
NY Skyride: It's great to hear you enjoyed your tour! With so many fun things to do in New York, a walking tour does make a great compliment to NY Skyride.
