There are a lot of free walking tours that would introduce you to New York City. While these are walking tours, you would still need a mini bus rental in NYC for your group.

 

A mini bus rental in NYC can take your group to the meet up point and then pick you up after the tour. You will undoubtedly appreciate the cool comforts inside a mini bus after your tour.

 

For one, a mini bus rental in NYC is air conditioned. You would have spent at least an hour walking under the heat of the sun, so it would be nice to be able to sit inside an air conditioned mini bus.

 

 

What walking tours should you go to? There are a lot of companies that offer walking tours in New York. But if you are visiting NYC on a budget, you can check out the following free walking tours:

 

The Big Apple Greeter Tours - The Big Apple Greeters give visitors to NYC free and private tours of New York City. You would, however, need to request a tour here: http://www.bigapplegreeter.org/02-how_spend/visitrequest.html

 

Remember that there is a no tipping policy so you cannot give a tip to your guide, but you can make a donation to the organization itself.

 

The Grand Central Neighborhood Tour - Justin Ferate and Peter Laskowich take people on a tour of the Grand Central and its surrounding neighborhood every Friday at 12:30 pm.

 

High Line Tours - This hour long tour will start at the High Line at West 14th St. It will take you on the open portions of the High Line as tour guides tell you about the history of the park, the design and the art.

 

Just because these walking tours are free does not mean that they are less fun and informative. On the contrary, these are very well regarded tours that you would just love.
