Big Taxi Tours, New York

From its name, one might think Big Taxi Tours whisks visitors around town aboard giant taxi cabs—and they'd be right. The touring company transports customers on double-decker buses painted taxi-cab yellow and embellished with the signature checkered stripe, paying homage to the city's ubiquitous taxis and bright yellow Statue of Liberty. From their seat aboard the bus, guests can discover hotspots in downtown and uptown, and hop off to explore landmarks including the Empire State Building and Times Square.
