Private Highlights Tour of New York (Half Day)

Receive a pickup for your group in a private, chauffeur-driven, minivan from any hotel or location in both Manhattan and Brooklyn. You can choose between a range of start times in the morning and afternoon that suit your schedule.

Begin the day by visiting what some consider the ‘center of the world,’ as you explore the neon signage, throngs of pedestrians, and sprawling plaza of Times Square. You’ll get a chance to view the glitzy marquees of New York’s latest productions during a trip through the Broadway Theater District before continuing to the retail mecca of high-end fashion and electronics retailers along 5th Avenue. Make sure to look for landmarks like Tiffany’s, the glass-walled Apple Store, and the Plaza Hotel.

Proceed next into Central Park, where you’ll head to the famous Strawberry Fields and get a glimpse of Beatle John Lennon’s former apartment building just across the street. After that, your day continues at the famous Rockefeller Center, also home to the studios of Good Morning America. The famous St. Patrick’s Cathedral is just across the street. You’ll then head to Midtown East, where you’ll see the New York Public Library and check out the elegant architecture of Grand Central Station.

Your private trip continues back downtown, allowing you to pass by the iconic Empire State Building and the equally beautiful Flatiron Building before heading further into Lower Manhattan. Along the way, you’ll get a glimpse of high-fashion Soho and see the famous Greenwich Village area, home to Washington Square Park and NYU.

Continue past Chinatown and Little Italy on your way to the Financial District, where you’ll get to see Wall Street and the famous bull statue just nearby. You’ll finish with a sobering look at the memorials of Ground Zero and the events of 9/11 before ending at Battery Park, where you’ll have views of the Statue of Liberty out in New York Harbor. At the end of the trip, you’ll get a drop-off back at your original pickup location.
