If it seems like you’re giving the same old Christmas gifts to family and friends each year, you can change all that by shopping New York style! Come with Christian Tours as we travel to the Big Apple for a week of shopping & sightseeing you’ll never forget! We overnight enroute to New York City in northern Maryland.

This morning we visit the most recognized symbol of freedom, the Statue of Liberty. We’ll also visit Ellis Island, the former gateway to America for millions of immigrants. We check into our hotel which is within walking distance to nearly all the major sights! This evening we take our seats for one of the ho• est Broadway productions of the year!

Today we become more familiar with the city on our guided tour of “The Big Apple,” including the ice skating rink at Rockefeller Center, the Lincoln Center Christmas Tree, Central Park, the beautiful windows of such stores as Lord & Taylor, Bloomingdale’s, and Macy’s, the new Freedom Tower, Greenwich Village, Chinatown, SOHO, and much more. After our tour, we have a delicious lunch included at one of the local favorites! We’ll have the afternoon free for more Christmas shopping. This evening we have reserved seats for one of the highlights of the Christmas Season, the Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring the world-famous Rocke• es! After the show we’ll drive around Rockefeller Center to view its towering Christmas tree which is over 65 feet high and 35 feet wide. (L)

You’ll have the entire day free to explore more of this fabulous city. You may want to check out the beautifully decorated windows adorning the shops down 5th Avenue, visit Rockefeller Plaza, Times Square or take an optional carriage ride through Central Park. Of course there are many places to shop! Macy’s, Saks, Bloomingdale’s, and thousands of other fine shops are waiting!

We depart for home with lasting memories and lots of shopping bags from our New York City Christmas shopping spree. We arrive home later this evening.
