Those Freetoursbfoot tours for New York look great. We have done them in New Orleans and Boston, and loved them. They will be on the agenda for our next trip to NYC. The problem will be deciding which ones to do!!

Maybe you can do the HOHO once, then perhaps a walk to Cnetral park and the two of you can find a place to sit and relax, let the girls do something on their own? Maybe row boats in the Park?

Otherwise, the money you would spend on the HoHo could be spent on taxis? For walking and sights, Bet both would love time in the Village.

Look into the citypass as a means to save some money on attractions. Buy a weekly metro card and study the transit system to see how best to get around, so you can plan your days accordingly.
