Every tour begins with a conversation.
The conversation centers on you - what you enjoy most and what, in terms of style, pace, pastimes, food, and even happy surprises define a day as ideal for you. From there, we customize your New York City experience.

NEW YORK CITY
A Day in New York: The Complete Manhattan Guided Sightseeing Tour
Explore the greatest city in the world in one day. See, taste and experience the best of it all, strolling along the sidewalks of some of the world’s most colorful and dynamic neighborhoods and taking in captivating sights at every turn.
Discover the stories of the city at the side of a native New Yorker - your guide.
We navigate NYC together the way New Yorkers do each day - by walking the city’s fascinating streets, by jumping in and out of taxis or Ubers and by taking NYC’s fast and convenient subways. (If you prefer the convenience of luxury, private transportation, that option is easily arranged.)
Along the way, we make the most of every moment: we pause to rest only where it’s scenic and stop to savor only the best of New York City’s favorite foods.

NYC - Fifth Avenue Luxury Highlights & Central Park Secrets
This tour features not only the best of Fifth Avenue but the gems and stories in between iconic landmarks that most visitors to New York miss. Those gems include gorgeous luxury hotels, the stunning beauty and music of St. Thomas Church (even lovelier than St. Patrick’s Cathedral); the highlights of Billionaire’s Row; special welcome and access at Bergdorf Goodman; viewing of art that is hidden (almost) in plain sight and an exploration of Central Park that takes you to and then beyond its best-known, and most photographed destinations - from Tavern on the Green and Bethesda Fountain to The Ramble, Belvedere Castle etc. on toward The Conservatory Gardens then a hidden, scenic forest designed to enchant by the landscape architects who created Central Park.
Refreshment or a cocktail or two in photo-worthy landmark locations can be a part of the experience.
