Recommendations
Overview
A private guide and separate chauffeur will pick you up from your Manhattan or Brooklyn hotel and take you on an adventure through the highlights of New York in half a day! You will see all of the highlights of Manhattan using a combination of walking and driving and we can tailor the tour to suit any special requests you may have.
By having a private guide and a separate chauffeur driver, you will maximize what you can see in the 4 hours - being dropped right outside the attractions - and walking off road with the guide, whilst the driver drives round to pick you all up from the next spot.
The guide and driver will work together to give you an exclusive and insightful experience of our city.
