Private Tour of Hoboken, NJ and The New York Skyline

Easily accessible by PATH (the NJ Subway) and the NY Waterway Taxi, Hoboken is for many visitors one of New York’s best-kept secrets. So, let's Say Hi to New Jersey! We'll cross the Hudson River and reach Hoboken, one of the most characteristic towns along the Hudson River that gifts us with incredible views over the iconic Midtown and Downtown Manhattan Skyline.

Exploring Hoboken & The New York Skyline

Nicknamed the “Mile Square City”, although it covers a bit over a square mile of land, Hoboken History dates all the way back to the early years of New York, even before New York was ever a city. Hoboken was originally an island and a seasonal campsite of the Lenape Indians, later “purchased” by the Dutch becoming part of the province of New Netherlands alongside New Amsterdam (today's Manhattan), Harleem and Breukelen.

During the 19th century, Hoboken became a waterfront resort for Manhattanites, connected daily with Manhattan by several commercial steam ferries, it was the go-to place for well-doers and established New Yorkers. Today, we can reach Hoboken hopping aboard modern Water Taxi ($9 per person/per ride not included in the Tour price) from where we can admire both the beautiful Hudson River and the Skyline of NYC right from the water.

Once in Hoboken, we’ll walk past few historical streets stopping at the Riverfront Park to take in the beautiful panorama. Here, we have the best location to snap pictures of the iconic New York Skyline. You may not know, but the popular Skyline of Manhattan photographed by many and portraited in so many movies, papers, catalogs etc. is not the one from the East River / Brooklyn, it’s indeed the one from New Jersey.
