10 City Tours in New Jersey That You Shouldn't Miss

March 13, 2022 Kaleigh Reichenbach

Whether you are looking for sun-drenched beaches or outdoor activities in beautiful countryside, New Jersey has plenty to offer. Those who love the great outdoors should head for the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, which runs along the Delaware River for forty miles. Here you can go rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking or fishing, or simply admire the stunning waterfalls. There is a huge range of hiking trails to choose from as well as historic sites to visit. In winter, you can enjoy cross-country skiing near Blue Mountain Lakes, and birdwatchers might be lucky enough to catch sight of bald eagles. If you are looking for a change, visit one of New Jersey's eleven lighthouses that are open to public, such as the one in Cape May. For art and history enthusiasts, New Jersey State Museum in Trenton has historic artifacts and American fine art from the nineteenth century to the present day as well as a Planetarium.

We took this tour on Thursday, after booking through group-on. We were supposed to have taken tour on the Wednesday but had our dates mixed up thus missed our original booking so had to take the loss and re-book for the next day. The company felt so bad for us, even though it was our fault, that they had the tour guide give us some extra time. Our tour guide was John, who was brilliant. He was funny, informative, helpful and made the whole experience worthwhile. He used his extensive knowledge, coupled with music, pictures and singing to keep us thoroughly entertained. He took us around key areas of the park and ensured we stopped a places for good photo opportunities. All in all, John is an engaging, entertaining and friendly tour guide! Well worth doing this tour and booking ahead if you can.

*SCAM* They tried to charge us an extra $100 when we arrived for our reservation. The address is a random parking lot where a shuttle is supposed to pick you up. We arrived on time, and there was no shuttle. We tried to call the company multiple times, but the line was busy. Finally, we got someone on the phone, and they said the shuttle was on the way. The shuttle took us to a secondary location, where we waited for another half an hour for our flight. At this time, we were told we would have to pay another $100 for a "late arrival." We walked out and requested a refund from Groupon. Take your business elsewhere!

I booked a full day tour with Victor and it was amazing. His knowledge of the area and professionalism made him the perfect guide. He was on time and has sparkly clean and comfortable transportation. We went down the coast to Hout Bay where we stopped and took a short boat ride to see seals. From there we took Chapman's Peak Drive and stopped along the way at lookout areas to take some photos. Another stop was at an ostrich farm. It was fun feeding the ostriches and they had a very nice gift shop. We arrived at Cape Point and rode the Flying Dutchmen Funicular to the top. The views were amazing. On the way back to Cape Town we stopped at Boulder Beach to see the penguins and had a lovely meal in Simon's Town. I enjoyed every part of the tour and highly recommend booking his tours.
