What to expect

  1. New York Times Building
    15m
    Times Square was named in honor of The New York Times, so it is fitting that we begin our tour in front of its newest location. However, The New York Times already had a rich and impressive history in this Times Square area -- long before this building went up. It is also located across the street from the busiest bus terminal in the world. You'll hear about that and much more...
  2. Times Square
    1h 30m
    From the bustling 42nd Street to 48th Street in Times Square -- you'll enjoy many stops, facts, fascinating stories, secrets, sights, sounds, locations, haunted tales, recommendations, histories and insider secrets of the most visited tourist destination in the world. See Times Square in a way few ever get to experience it. Times Square is so much more than meets the eye. Let me show you what's been there all along, but you never knew it -- before now. Come take a walk through the past, the present and the magic that is Times Square.
