Meet the Locals

Want to customize the itinerary for your own private tour of New York? Staff and guides will help you pick and choose the sites, attractions, and neighborhoods to visit, recommending some that you may not be aware of. Choose a tour duration of 4, 6, or 8 hours on this special program priced for a group of up to 10 participants. After you make your booking, a tour specialist will contact you to create a unique itinerary for your tour, ensuring you see the sights and attractions that you want to see, not what the guide decides. An experienced guide will lead you through the Big Apple and provide colorful commentary, as well as some history and little know facts. Public transportation is the recommended way to experience the city like a true New Yorker. However, if you prefer traveling in a vehicle, that can be set that up when your individual itinerary is created. A foreign language guide can also be arranged.

On an exclusive Spanish-language tour, you'll be picked up at the entrance of one of 3 Midtown hotels: Millennium Broadway, Pennsylvania, or Wellington. Choose which location is most convenient for you. Then, head north in Manhattan, going through the neighborhood of Harlem and crossing into the Bronx. Visit the Yankee Stadium, home of the legendary NYC baseball team, and take a restroom, picture-taking, and shopping break. Continue to Grand Concourse Avenue and enter the famous police Precinct 42.

The last borough to visit is Brooklyn, where you’ll see the Jewish Quarters in Williamsburg, a stark contrast from the trendy areas made famous by movies and TV shows. Finally, head to the Manhattan Bridge where you can decide where to end the tour. The first option is to stay close by and walk towards the Brooklyn Bridge, where you can then visit the neighborhood Dumbo and walk over the bridge to enjoy stunning panoramic views as you cross into Manhattan on foot. Or, you can stay in the vehicle and cross the Manhattan Bridge to arrive in Chinatown and Little Italy, where you'll find the best Italian food in NYC.

Take an alternative tour of New York and head to the boroughs of the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn to discover the secret delights of New York City.

Aboard the bus you will cross Grand Central’s bridge, with a view of Grand Central Station, continue to the Upper East Side, one of the most affluent and elegant neighborhoods in New York City then enter Spanish Harlem on the way to the Bronx. You will see Yankee Stadium, the home ballpark of the New York Yankees baseball team, the Grand Concourse, and pass in front of the Bronx Museum of the Arts.
