New York City: Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island

Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty was a gift of international friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States.  It is one of the most universal symbols of political freedom and democracy.  The views of the Statue from the water are breathtaking and reminiscent of what immigrants first saw entering New York Harbor.

Ellis Island
Ellis Island opened in 1892 and was the entry point for European immigrants for more than 60 years.  Twelve million people passed through the halls that are now the historical Ellis Island Immigration Museum.  Walk through the Great Hall as the new Americans once did – ancestors of more than half of the US population.  You can search for your family surname on the American Immigrant wall of Honor.  With over 600,000 entries, it is the longest wall of names in the world.

New York City: One World Observatory and 9/11 Memorial & Museum Private Tour - 4 Hours

Please note that this tour is for parties of four or less.


 

New York City: SoHo

Like most of the developing city in the early years, SoHo (which stands for South of Houston Street – and by the way, it’s pronounced How-ston) started as a small village.  Over time, the neighborhood went from the wealthiest, to the most industrial, to a slum called “Hell’s 100 acres.”  Now it is back to trendy again.  SoHo is one of the most stylish neighborhoods in New York City, with clues of its past around every corner.  Several of its cast iron buildings built in the mid-1800s still stand.  As you explore the area, you will get the feel of its many cobblestone streets.  When artists arrived in SoHo in the 1970s, they began the revival of the neighborhood.  You’ll visit two of SoHo’s famed art galleries, including the Earth Room.  Next to SoHo is NoLIta – which is Northern Little Italy.  The area is home to the old St. Patrick’s Cathedral.  One story in particular your guide will impart is the 1799 murder of Elma Sands, the “Ghost of Spring Street.”


 

New York City: Private Bike Tour of Central Park

What could be better than a guided bike ride in Central Park, the first landscaped public park in the USA?  Your guide, a city-licensed professional, rides alongside you and shows you all that the park has to offer: Bethesda Fountain, hidden waterfalls, cast-iron bridges, movie scenes, celebrity homes, and skyscrapers, all while passing beneath many of the park’s 26,000 trees.  You’ll learn the history of New York City, told in terms of the development of the city and its parks.  You’ll bike right up to Strawberry Fields, the memorial to the life of John Lennon, to see the famous building where he lived, and much more!

New York City: The Origins of NYC Sightseeing Program

New York traces its rich history to Lower Manhattan, the meeting point of the Hudson River and the East River.  Originally named Nieuw (New) Amsterdam, New York City began as a small Dutch settlement in what is now known as Lower Manhattan.  Broadway, which was then called Heere Straat (Gentleman Street), was nothing but a small road.  Wall Street actually had a wall back in 1653 to protect the settlers from attacks.  As the city grew, so did the nation.  New York was the first capital of the United States and the spot where George Washington was inaugurated is marked by his statue.  Over the years, Lower Manhattan has become the financial capital of the world.  Today, the streets are teeming with people and filled with stories of New York’s past, present, and future.  As you explore Lower Manhattan with your guide, you’ll see the 9/11 Memorial, St. Paul’s Chapel, Battery Park, and Trinity Church as you learn about the history of the Native Americans, Dutch, and English.

Now you can experience the best of the best thanks to our EXCLUSIVE Private Bagel Making, Cragel and Donut Deluxe NYC Food Tour.
 
Now, this is not your ordinary NYC bagel tour. Why? Because on our exclusive NYC private tour, you’ll have the rare opportunity to get hands-on by helping to make authentic New York bagels at the best bagel shop in the city! And no food tour would be complete without sampling the fare – meaning you get to taste the best bagels, cream cheeses and lox the Big Apple has to offer as well!  And it’s not just bagels you get to learn about – you’ll also visit the bagel shop that makes the world’s only “cragel” – a half-bagel, half-croissant, that combines the dense chewiness of the bagel with the buttery flakiness of the croissant. Finally, as you may have surmised by the title of this experience, you’ll finish on a sweet note with a donut from a famous donut shop that’s been a Brooklyn staple for over 60 years - and was featured in the latest Spider-Man movie!

• After that amazing experience you’ll get back into your luxury vehicle and continue to the next stop on the tour, which is Bagel Point in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Here you will also get to sample the fare and if you would like, you can also take part in another hands-on rolling experience.

• And if that isn’t enough yumminess for one day, after your cragel expedition you’ll take a short stroll down the block to Brooklyn’s best donut shop, Peter Pan Donuts, where you’ll finish the day off with a sweet treat of your choice.

• When your NYC food tour comes to an end, and you are now officially a “bagel expert,” your luxury transfer will be waiting to take you back to your hotel or other predetermined drop-off location.

New York City: Statue of Liberty Tour & Ellis Island and 9/11 Memorial Museum - 8 Hours

Highlights:

We are excited to share that we’ve brought together three attractions that tell the history - both the good and the bad - of Lower Manhattan into one complete package with our Statue of Liberty Tour & Ellis Island and 9/11 Memorial Museum experience.

• Statue of Liberty: For as long as she's been standing over New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty is synonymous with New York City. It is the number one landmark that people think of when they think of the city and the one place most people head to as first-time visitors.

• Ellis Island: Ellis Island is synonymous with Lady Liberty. And for most people, when taking the ferry over to Liberty Island, a stop at Ellis Island is a must.

• 9/11 Memorial & Museum: Since its opening in 2014, the 9/11 Memorial Museum has also become a top ten must-see, along with the 9/11 Memorial itself.

On this full-day tour, your expert private tour guide will escort you to all three for one unforgettable day. Join us for an immersive history lesson that embodies travel as a living classroom.

• Your Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and 9/11 Memorial Museum experience begins when you’re picked up by our professional driver in a private luxury vehicle.

• Your driver will take you downtown to Battery Park where you’ll meet your private, professional tour guide to begin the journey to your first destination.

• Upon your arrival at Battery Park, you’ll board a ferry run by Statue Cruises to head across the New York Harbor for an up close and personal look at Lady Liberty.

• Once on Liberty Island, you’ll get to go inside this magnificent statue where you can access the pedestal for amazing outside views. You’ll also visit the new Statue of Liberty museum where you’ll get a peek at her original torch, an opportunity to measure your foot against Lady Liberties, enjoy an immersive theater experience and learn everything you always wanted to know about this symbol of American freedom.

• After departing Liberty Island your next stop is Ellis Island where over 12 million immigrants arrived on US shores.

• Your Ellis Island tour will consist of a visit to the National Museum of Immigration where you’ll learn about how immigrants were processed as they arrived – and have the opportunity to learn more about your family history.

• After your time on these two islands, you’ll board the ferry for the ride back to Lower Manhattan. Once you have disembarked the ferry your guide will walk you through Battery Park where you’ll continue until you reach the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.

• Here you’ll tour the grounds of the 9/11 Memorial where you’ll encounter the two reflecting pools created to honor those we lost on that fateful day. Among the other things you’ll see are two items that survived the attacks that day - the Survivor Tree (a Callery pear tree) and The Sphere (the world's largest bronze sculpture of modern times).

• After paying your respects on the grounds where the Twin Towers once stood, you’ll head into the 9/11 Memorial Museum. Here you’ll learn the history of not only the 9/11 attacks – but of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing as well. Since private guided tours cannot be conducted within the museum, your private tour guide will give a brief synopsis of what you are about to see before entering the building. Your 9 11 museum tour is surely one you will never forget and a must-do for anyone coming to New York City.

Ask any food lover – there’s no better way to get to know a city than to eat its food. And there’s no food tour more comprehensive than Beyond Times Square’s Eating Your Way Through Manhattan NYC Food Tour.

Starting in Midtown Manhattan you’ll work your way down the island to what’s referred to as Downtown with your private, licensed tour guide. This half-day experience covers all of the NYC neighborhoods that are known for their great food – from Hell’s Kitchen to Little Italy to Greenwich Village to the Lower East Side. And, since the experience spans from Midtown down through LES, it comes with a private luxury vehicle to get you from one tasty neighborhood treat to the next – learning about the island and the landmarks you pass along the way. As for the fare – it varies – but you’ll hit a total of four or five stops including one of the trendy, ethnic restaurants found on Ninth Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen, and one of the many trattorias, pizzerias and delis The Big Apple is famous for as you eat your way through some of the most popular neighborhoods in Manhattan. The delectable delights on this NYC private tour will excite your stomach and are more than enough for lunch.

• Your food and culture experience begins when your expert tour guide and driver arrive to pick you up in your private luxury vehicle.

• From there it’s on to a tasting in Greenwich Village which is often referred to as just “The Village” or “West Village” and is home to many popular cafes, bars, and restaurants.

• No NYC food tour would be complete without a visit to Little Italy, so that is where you are off to next! Here you’ll enjoy an authentic Italian treat from one of the seemingly infinite dining options.

• Next stop is the Lower East Village, aka LES. LES has a fabulous food scene and is the home to a plethora of delis – many of Jewish heritage - among various other dining options.

• In total you’ll make four to five food stops along your journey. At each stop, you’ll step out of the vehicle while your tour guide gets your tastings. As you are enjoying your fare, you’ll not only learn about the food you are sampling, but also about the history, hidden gems and little-known facts of the neighborhoods you are visiting.

• Some examples of what you might be sampling include a cheesy slice of NYC pizza, one of those famous NYC hotdogs, oh-so-decadent homemade Sicilian cannoli, Norwegian smoked salmon (an NYC favorite) on, yes, the equally famous NYC bagel, spanakopita which is Greek spinach pie, a mozzarella and prosciutto sandwich and a delicious Chinese dumpling.

New York City: One World Observatory and 9/11 Memorial & Museum Private Tour - 4 Hours

Please note that this tour is for parties of four or less.


 

New York City: SoHo

Like most of the developing city in the early years, SoHo (which stands for South of Houston Street – and by the way, it’s pronounced How-ston) started as a small village.  Over time, the neighborhood went from the wealthiest, to the most industrial, to a slum called “Hell’s 100 acres.”  Now it is back to trendy again.  SoHo is one of the most stylish neighborhoods in New York City, with clues of its past around every corner.  Several of its cast iron buildings built in the mid-1800s still stand.  As you explore the area, you will get the feel of its many cobblestone streets.  When artists arrived in SoHo in the 1970s, they began the revival of the neighborhood.  You’ll visit two of SoHo’s famed art galleries, including the Earth Room.  Next to SoHo is NoLIta – which is Northern Little Italy.  The area is home to the old St. Patrick’s Cathedral.  One story in particular your guide will impart is the 1799 murder of Elma Sands, the “Ghost of Spring Street.”


 

New York City: Private Bike Tour of Central Park

What could be better than a guided bike ride in Central Park, the first landscaped public park in the USA?  Your guide, a city-licensed professional, rides alongside you and shows you all that the park has to offer: Bethesda Fountain, hidden waterfalls, cast-iron bridges, movie scenes, celebrity homes, and skyscrapers, all while passing beneath many of the park’s 26,000 trees.  You’ll learn the history of New York City, told in terms of the development of the city and its parks.  You’ll bike right up to Strawberry Fields, the memorial to the life of John Lennon, to see the famous building where he lived, and much more!

New York City: The Origins of NYC Sightseeing Program

New York traces its rich history to Lower Manhattan, the meeting point of the Hudson River and the East River.  Originally named Nieuw (New) Amsterdam, New York City began as a small Dutch settlement in what is now known as Lower Manhattan.  Broadway, which was then called Heere Straat (Gentleman Street), was nothing but a small road.  Wall Street actually had a wall back in 1653 to protect the settlers from attacks.  As the city grew, so did the nation.  New York was the first capital of the United States and the spot where George Washington was inaugurated is marked by his statue.  Over the years, Lower Manhattan has become the financial capital of the world.  Today, the streets are teeming with people and filled with stories of New York’s past, present, and future.  As you explore Lower Manhattan with your guide, you’ll see the 9/11 Memorial, St. Paul’s Chapel, Battery Park, and Trinity Church as you learn about the history of the Native Americans, Dutch, and English.

New York City: Statue of Liberty Tour & Ellis Island and 9/11 Memorial Museum - 8 Hours

Highlights:

We are excited to share that we’ve brought together three attractions that tell the history - both the good and the bad - of Lower Manhattan into one complete package with our Statue of Liberty Tour & Ellis Island and 9/11 Memorial Museum experience.

• Statue of Liberty: For as long as she's been standing over New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty is synonymous with New York City. It is the number one landmark that people think of when they think of the city and the one place most people head to as first-time visitors.

• Ellis Island: Ellis Island is synonymous with Lady Liberty. And for most people, when taking the ferry over to Liberty Island, a stop at Ellis Island is a must.

• 9/11 Memorial & Museum: Since its opening in 2014, the 9/11 Memorial Museum has also become a top ten must-see, along with the 9/11 Memorial itself.

On this full-day tour, your expert private tour guide will escort you to all three for one unforgettable day. Join us for an immersive history lesson that embodies travel as a living classroom.

• Your Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and 9/11 Memorial Museum experience begins when you’re picked up by our professional driver in a private luxury vehicle.

• Your driver will take you downtown to Battery Park where you’ll meet your private, professional tour guide to begin the journey to your first destination.

• Upon your arrival at Battery Park, you’ll board a ferry run by Statue Cruises to head across the New York Harbor for an up close and personal look at Lady Liberty.

• Once on Liberty Island, you’ll get to go inside this magnificent statue where you can access the pedestal for amazing outside views. You’ll also visit the new Statue of Liberty museum where you’ll get a peek at her original torch, an opportunity to measure your foot against Lady Liberties, enjoy an immersive theater experience and learn everything you always wanted to know about this symbol of American freedom.

• After departing Liberty Island your next stop is Ellis Island where over 12 million immigrants arrived on US shores.

• Your Ellis Island tour will consist of a visit to the National Museum of Immigration where you’ll learn about how immigrants were processed as they arrived – and have the opportunity to learn more about your family history.

• After your time on these two islands, you’ll board the ferry for the ride back to Lower Manhattan. Once you have disembarked the ferry your guide will walk you through Battery Park where you’ll continue until you reach the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.

• Here you’ll tour the grounds of the 9/11 Memorial where you’ll encounter the two reflecting pools created to honor those we lost on that fateful day. Among the other things you’ll see are two items that survived the attacks that day - the Survivor Tree (a Callery pear tree) and The Sphere (the world's largest bronze sculpture of modern times).

• After paying your respects on the grounds where the Twin Towers once stood, you’ll head into the 9/11 Memorial Museum. Here you’ll learn the history of not only the 9/11 attacks – but of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing as well. Since private guided tours cannot be conducted within the museum, your private tour guide will give a brief synopsis of what you are about to see before entering the building. Your 9 11 museum tour is surely one you will never forget and a must-do for anyone coming to New York City.
