New York City Tour

Ironically, to make your New York City tour complete, you must branch out a little upstate, if even to see the contrast between big-city life and small-town appeal. So, after taking in the monumental Empire State Building and teeming Times Square, don't forget to rent a car or hop on the Metro-North and head up to the Hudson Valley region. Idyllic Poughkeepsie, in particular, is a must for any New York tour. Hike along side the river or dine at the unique local haunts. Amble through the historic streets that are so far removed from the vertigo and hype of Fifth Avenue. Perhaps you may want to finish your tour by settling in for the night at any one of Poughkeepsie's fine inns or bed-and-breakfasts. The entertainment, lodging and special attention will make your touring experience whole and satisfying.
