One of the most magical times of the year is the holiday season, and what better way to spend it than in New York City, kicking off the season with the biggest events in the country. There isn’t another place like New York City, decorated and full of holiday magic, to conclude another year. This Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade tour will have you seeing the best sights and experiences up close and not on the TV. 

Tour Highlights

This four-day tour will ensure that you capture all the great highlights and holiday magic that New York City has to offer. As a group, the tour will make sure to hit the big highlights. The largest highlight, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, will be full of floats, marching bands, and the sounds of Christmas represented across the country. Seeing this massive parade up close will embellish that holiday feeling and experience that lets you know we are in the season every year. 

Another major highlight on this tour is bringing in the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, another annual event kicked off by the Rockettes and other groups dancing and singing across the large stage at Music Hall. This is one of the largest annual holiday events, something everyone should experience at least once. 

To round out this holiday tour, you’ll have a reserved seat at one of the Broadway Musicals playing on these days. You can expect to have the full Broadway experience, especially with the holiday festivities kicking off. Enjoy an evening of humor, singing, dancing, and some of the best talent in the industry. 

You can’t leave New York City without a view of Lady Liberty herself. The scenic boat tour will give you a close view of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. This tour will help round out the trip and give guests the full NYC experience. 

Tour Features

You will have exclusive access to several events when you purchase a ticket on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade tour. Not only will your admission for the highlighted events be covered, but you’ll also have a few other features you’ll enjoy over the four-day trip. 

Enjoy three nights of hotel accommodations in New York City, which will give you direct access to all the places you’ll visit along the trip. Baggage handling service and tour director services will also be available. 

At each stop and throughout the trip, you’ll have ample access to enjoy the popular sights of NYC, Manhattan, and Central Park. Shopping will also be readily available, and time will be set aside to ensure you take advantage of these events. The best feature of this tour is that you don’t have to do anything but show up and make memories of the different events, sights, and hotels each evening.
