Things to do in Staten Island, New York (NY): The Best Tours
The most suburban of the five boroughs, Staten Island is often neglected as a tourist destination. Take a ride from Manhattan on the Staten Island Ferry and get some of the best views of New York City for free, then stick around and see what Staten Island has to offer. Check out the Himalayan monastery-style Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art, or visit Historic Richmond Town for a recreation of colonial New York. The beautiful Hamilton Park neighborhood was the setting for "The Godfather."

I am incredibly disappointed by the attitude of this company in refusing a refund. I have lost over £1100. No it won't bankrupt me, but it's a hell of a hit, that I can't afford. In unpicking my July 2020 trip to NYC, EVERY other provider from the hotel, to theatres, to Madison Square Gardens, to the New York Yankees, to a car hire company and Amtrak all refunded immediately. This was the ONLY exception. I am lost for words at their uncaring attitude and I urge you to think very carefully before buying their product. It is a huge mistake in my opinion and I will never use them again.

My parents, husband, and I took the two hour private walking tour of the north shore of Staten Island with our guide, Claudia. It was a beautiful day and Claudia took us around the ferry area and a big circle around the major areas of that part of the island. She knew up to date information about happenings in the area and also the historical comings and goings of Staten Island. She was an educated and wonderful guide.
