Your summer in NYC luxury travel experience starts when you’re met inside the airport with a smile by your friendly driver – who’ll be holding a sign with your name on it.
Today finds you heading out with your expert tour guide for an eight-hour experience where you’ll discover Lower Manhattan’s most significant landmarks.
First stop – historical Battery Park to board the ferry for a scenic ride to Liberty Island where millions of hopeful European immigrants arrived to the same iconic sites.
Upon arrival at Liberty Island you’ll stand in the shadow of the majestic Lady Liberty, explore her story in the Statue of Liberty Museum and then board the ferry to your next stop – Ellis Island.
On Ellis Island you’ll have the chance to wander through the National Museum of Immigration – a building that your ancestors may have very well walked through as well.
Afterward, the ferry returns you to Battery Park where you’ll walk its winding paths as you continue to the hallowed grounds of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum for a somber yet oh-so-powerful experience.
You pick the Broadway show – and what a fabulous selection of musicals and plays it is! – and then we get you premium seats to enjoy the performance from! Of course, we do have a suggestion in keeping with the all-American theme of this experience – it’s a little show called Hamilton – perhaps you’ve heard of it (wink, wink)?
Set sail on New York City’s sparkling waters with a dinner cruise that offers stunning skyline views, gourmet food and live music. Between the sights, the delicious meal and the entertainment – it’s an evening you’ll never forget. Bonus: If you opt for the dinner cruise on the 4th of July it will be a special fireworks cruise where you’ll enjoy the spectacular Macy’s fireworks display from the vantage point of the water! (*Additional cost)
When your unforgettable experience in New York City comes to an end, you’ll be met at your hotel by your driver for your private transfer back to the airport via luxury vehicle.
This luxurious, timeless, oh-so-elegant landmark hotel opened in 1930 and has been revered as the quintessential monument to the city’s affluence as well as the remarkable embodiment of exceptional service. And the location? Pure perfection – it’s situated right on New York City’s famous Fifth Avenue – which means plenty of luxury and high-end shopping is steps away – PLUS it’s directly across the street from Central Park!

The hotel caters to all with superb service and a flair for memorable events – offering the perfect blend of style, comfort and convenience in the heart of Midtown.

“I’ve always been a Wall Street enthusiast, but the private tour of the Financial District that Beyond Times Square set up for me was eye-opening. There was so much happening there that I had no idea about – from the past to present day. I didn’t go in expecting to learn anything new – but boy did I!”
