Gray Line New York Sightseeing has added a new connecting Harlem tour to its long-standing Uptown, hop on and off, double decker bus sightseeing Tour Loop. The Uptown Loop, expanded April 1 to include the Madame Alexander Doll Gallery, with 85 years of doll-making history and the nearby Dinosaur Bar-B-Que Restaurant for a taste of southern home cooking, stops at some of the most exciting uptown New York sights, including Central Park, Lincoln Center, Dakota Apartments, American Museum of Natural History, Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Grant’s Tomb and The Museum Mile on a double decker bus.
Connecting at 125th Street via a picturesque trolley, the new Intimate Harlem and Cloisters Tour provides customers with an additional opportunity to explore Harlem’s grandeur, history and Dutch-influenced, quaint architecture where the scenic topography and rural character of the 1600’s have been left untouched. Customers may also hop off at Fort Tryon Park and experience spectacular views of the Hudson River and George Washington Bridge, Heather Gardens as well as visit The Cloisters Renaissance Museum.
Tickets for the Uptown Loop are $39 for adults and $29 for children. Tickets for the Uptown Loop with Intimate Harlem and Cloisters Tour are $49 for adults and $39 for children. The Uptown Loop is part of Gray Line’s most popular tour package called the All Loops Tour, which in addition to Uptown, also includes Downtown, Brooklyn Loops and Night Tour valid for 48 hours. The All Loops Tour is $49 for adults and $39 for children. The All Loops Tour with Intimate Harlem and Cloisters Tour is $59 for adults and $49 for children.

these buses are very loud – wish they would do it with the headphones like they do its in Paris.

The expanded sites sound good!, but we need the people to hop off and start purchasing goods and items from the merchants along the route. Just riding the bus through Harlem and not shopping, does nothing for the economics in Harlem.
