We enjoyed New York Sports Tour with a group that was fascinated from the first minute to the last. Our trip started near Grand Central Station where the luxury bus picked up the guests early on a Saturday afternoon. You'll like that the outing works for all size parties. Go solo, with a friend or significant other. You can also gather a group or plan a corporate event.
New York Sports Tour is really a sports museum on wheels making over 70 stops throughout Midtown while enjoying the presentation by a live sports announcer and viewing original videos narrated by renowned sportscaster and professional tennis player Mary Carillo. You'll learn just how much sports matter to fabric of our society not only in NYC but across our nation and around the world. We were captivated by the local sites and information that included the development of Madison Square Garden's venues, residences of sports heroes, the spot where the NCAA was founded, and so much more. Rare sports memorabilia was passed around to guests throughout the trip bringing another fascinating aspect to the Tour.
There's an option to finish your New York Sports Tour with a dinner at the iconic Keen's Steakhouse, a restaurant with a sports history all its own. While you enjoy delicious fare, you will also have the opportunity to dine and chat with one of the Tour's celebrated hosts.
