Best of New York Highlights Tour - with private car & driver
No matter how much time you have to visit New York, from a few days to a few hours, the number one "must-do" is taking in the spectacular highlights of the Big Apple. In this tour, we will see the top sites from Central Park to the glittering shops along Fifth Ave, through Rockefeller Center and Times Square, taking in Grand Central Terminal, Empire State Building & more. Time permitting: SoHo, Wall Street, The Statue of Liberty - all in luxury, safety and comfort from your private vehicle.
Meeting Point
At your hotel or other Manhattan localtion tbd
New York City
The list of the top sites in Manhattan include:
Central Park, Fifth Avenue, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Empire State Building, Grand Central Terminal, The Flatiron Building, Wall Street, World Trade Center (9/11 Memorial) and The Statue of Liberty. This is a great place to start - we can also customize your list to include other locales such as The High Line, Hudson Yards, SoHo, Chinatown/Little Italy, Brooklyn Bridge, Harlem or whatever you request. This is your trip! I want to make your itinerary exactly what your heart desires.
While we will be using private, luxury transportation to whisk through the streets at our own pace, there will be many opportunities to disembark and experience the various sites on foot and in person.
I am happy to plan the itinerary alone, or with you, meeting your specific requests and unique needs. The time duration is also customizable (3 hours and up), taking breaks as needed. Weather and traffic conditions beyond our control may affect the tour duration and route.
Additionally, I will act as your personal photographer (using your camera or mine) to capture these memories in beautiful compositions - making souvenir images that can last as lifetime.

New York Tour Reviews

“Great Way to Explore the City”
It was my adult daughter's first time in NYC and while I know the City, I thought a tour might be a good way to orient her to the City. It was fun, educational and helped us know how to move around the City. Julia is a true New Yorker who knows, the institutions, history and culture of this great City. She is responsive to requests and had great ideas of how to share the City's delights and treasures. I highly recommend her as a tour guide.
