Booking Private tour of Manhattan in a vintage taxi
Looking for a unique way to explore New York? Climb aboard an authentic Checker taxi, the predecessor of today’s Nissan cabs, for a complete tour of the city!
Checker cabs ruled New York’s streets from the mid-1950s through the late 1980s. Today, these iconic vehicles have almost completely vanished from circulation.
This private driver tour is priced as a flat rate that covers 1 to 5 people. The more passengers, the better the value. You’ll also have more fun with a group.
