Choose by route, pace and ticket
New York days get easier once the route is clear. This guide compares audio tours by price, duration and the part of the city they handle best, so the booking fits the day instead of taking it over.
Audio-narrated open-top night bus through NYC landmarks from Midtown billboards to One World Trade Center, with headphones in 11 languages.
“They don't leave on time, bad customer service, no heat on the bus. Took three hours to get back in to town.”
Self-guided audio tour inside St. Patrick's Cathedral with entry, multiple languages, and an easy way to explore at your pace.
“The person in charge of getting us started wasn't at all attentive. The stations were out of order, so it made it difficult to follow. THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE. almost impossible to navigate.”
Skip-the-queue ferry and audio guide to Liberty Island and Ellis Island, with museum stops and self-paced sightseeing from Battery Park.
“Amazing day! The audio guide was super easy to use and told great stories about the history. We loved being able to walk around at our own speed without a guide rushing us.”
A self-guided audio walk on Fifth Avenue, from the Metropolitan Club to the Met, with GPS cues, offline audio, and Gilded Age stories.
“Great tour to do alone on a beautiful day in NYC, especially ending at the Met. I was under the impression from another tour that all the gilded age mansions were gone, but this tour took us to lots of different homes. Lots of great historical information!”
Guided Hamilton audio walking tour through Lower Manhattan, from Bowling Green to Trinity Church, with a live guide and included site stops.
“We had a tour scheduled but the guide was ill so we scrambled and found Dana and are so glad we did. She gave our family of 4 - kids ages 12 and 14- a perfect Hamilton experience. It was about 90 min long which was honestly the perfect length for our attention spans. She’s great at getting to the interesting details without all the blah blah blah. Recommend!”
A 30-minute self-guided VoiceMap audio walk through NYC’s Financial District, featuring Charging Bull, the Federal Reserve, and key landmarks.
“Didn't really get a lot of info. Very surface-level and not much quantity. A quick Google search of what you are walking by would give more details. I would not recommend. Thankfully, it was cheap.”
Walk Central Park with an Emmy-nominated storyteller via VoiceMap. Offline audio, self-paced stops, and iconic sights for $14.99.
“Very hard to use especially with paths in Central Park kept going in circles and telling us we were lost. No kidding! Would like a refund”
A story-packed self-guided West Village audio walk, offline in the VoiceMap app, with lifetime access and a punk-to-Prohibition route.
“Worth spending the time to learn some interesting history and enjoy a lovely walk in the w. Village.”
Walk New York’s High Line with an English audio narrative from Death Avenue to Hudson Yards and Vessel, for $14.99.
“Very informative and entertaining commentary. Easy to download and start the App. Did have some issues with synchronizing walking speed with app commentary.”
Self-guided Brooklyn Bridge bike or walk tour app with audio, photo stops, food and restroom tips, valid 365 days, $5.
Walk Greenwich Village in 90 minutes with an offline audio guide. Boho eras, bold stories, lifetime access, and clear directions.
“Very interesting historical perspective of the area. We learned a lot about the area throughout the years. Directions were clear as to how to get around.”
A self-guided Prospect Park audio walk from the JFK Memorial to the Picnic House, with offline GPS, 10 stops, and great value.
“I used Apple Maps along side the tour to help keep me on track. It’s a wonderful, entertaining and educational tour and I highly recommend it to get the most out of a visit to Prospect Park. It’s quite a long walk and there are some stairs involved, so be aware if that presents a challenge for you. Wear comfy shoes and your Air Buds, and bring water and snacks. There are loads of photo ops! Also you will have to walk about 1/2 mi further to exit the park at the end of the tour.”
Walk NYC’s Battery to Stone Street with offline audio, major monuments, and harbor stories on your schedule for about 2 hours.
“Definitely worth it. When construction at the battery is completed it will be even better. But this was a fantastic tour and I learned and discovered new stuff and sites!”
A low-cost, self-guided VoiceMap walk through Broadway landmarks, timed for your pace, with offline audio and maps.
“Regan was great. The experience was easy to book. I highly recommend Regan and the experience for all theatre lovers!”
