New York City: Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island
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: Brooklyn Essential Walking Tour - 4 Hours
New York City: Brooklyn Essential Walking Tour - 4 Hours
Highlights:
Brooklyn Bridge - Opened in 1883 after thirteen years of construction and was built across the East River to connect Manhattan with the then-rural city of Brooklyn. From the beginning, the bridge’s designer, John A. Roebling, planned not just a structure of convenience, but a great work of art that would stand the test of time. The Brooklyn Bridge is a fully accessible bridge, with a center lane above traffic open to bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Your fully guided tour takes you on a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge; a walk taken every day by commuters and tourists, and during times of crisis, such as after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11. Brooklyn Heights- One of the best-kept secrets of the City of New York is Brooklyn Heights, a beautiful district in Brooklyn. Some historians call it one of the first suburbs in the United States. Brooklyn Heights is unique as it radiates a hometown atmosphere while situated right next door to one of the most recognizable cityscapes in the world. In 1964, Brooklyn Heights was the first area designated as a New York City Historic District. You will understand why as you see Federal style homes built in the 1820s, brick and brownstone homes from the 1830s and 1840s, and two Italianate mansions that overlook Pierrepont Street. DUMBO- DUMBO’s name is an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, and the span gives the creatively oriented neighborhood much of its character—as do cobblestone streets and dramatic architecture left over from its industrial days. Today, DUMBO features art galleries, independent bookshops, boutiques, confectionaries, and waterfront parks where locals and tourists thrive. DUMBO offers some of the best photo ops including the Empire State Building framed by the Manhattan Bridge.
- 4-Hours with a private guide.
- Guests will walk across the Brooklyn Bridge from the Manhattan side where they will learn the history and view the spectacular skyline. Guests will then venture into Brooklyn Heights which is a posh residential area filled with elegant brownstones. Here, guests will learn about the culture and the history of the area which is often referred to as the first suburb in the United States. Guests will also visit the waterfront park before heading to DUMBO and then back to Manhattan.
- During the tour you may also see: Dumbo Art Galleries, views of Lady Liberty, Manhattan Bridge and Empire State Building (indoor entrance tickets are not included for any locations).

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: The Origins of NYC Sightseeing Program
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: A Cultural Walk Through Little Italy and Chinatown - 4 Hours
New York City: A Cultural Walk Through Little Italy and Chinatown - 4 Hours
Highlights:
There are numerous ethnic groups in New York City, but only two have neighborhoods named after them: one is Little Italy, and the other is Chinatown. Little Italy was formed in the late 1800s as millions of Italian immigrants streamed into the United States. And although nowadays you do not hear much Italian on the street, there are still old school establishments that carry on the traditions. Chinatown on the other hand is still growing and when you enter it, it is like being transported to another country. All the signs are in Chinese, the languages spoken are all dialects of Chinese, the produce and food shops sell many items you will not recognize. It is a submersion into another culture. Join your guide on this walking tour and find out what is below the surface that makes both these neighborhoods even more unique and intriguing.
- Meet your guide on the corner of Lafayette and Broome Street in Little Italy.

New York City: Private Bagel Making, Cragel and Donut Deluxe NYC Food Tour - 4 Hours
Highlights:
When you think of New York City – what food comes to mind? If you said bagels, you’d most likely be in the majority. There’s nothing like a NYC bagel for breakfast, brunch, lunch - and heck for dinner too! 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!
-
Your exclusive bagel adventure begins when your professional driver and expert, licensed tour guide pick you up at your hotel in a private luxury vehicle.
-
From there you’ll head to your first stop, Utopia Bagels in Whitestone, Queens. Here you’ll not only discover the history of this iconic food and how it’s made, but you’ll also get a unique hands-on bagel rolling and baking experience! And of course, you’ll also get to sample those delicious hot fresh bagels, a variety of spreads, and a luxurious lox sandwich.
-
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. This particular bagel shop is home to the famous “cragel” which is a pastry that combines a bagel and a croissant for one tasty treat. 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
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.
• Upon completion of these three pieces of American history your private driver will pick you up in your luxury vehicle and drop you off at your requested end destination.

-
Empire State Building: When it was built it was the first building in the world to have more than 100 floors and comes in at 1,250 feet
-
Bank of America Tower: At 1,200 feet, this one is unique as it was built to use 45% less water than buildings similar in size.

New York City: Your Way Through Manhattan NYC Food Tour - 4 Hours
New York City: Your Way Through Manhattan NYC Food Tour - 4 Hours
Highlights:
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.
• Your tour may start with a bite in Hell’s Kitchen, which is the home of various international cuisines and numerous trendy popular restaurants.
• 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.
• Along the way you may see some of New York City’s most well-known attractions and locales including Chinatown, Tribeca, Madison Square Garden, the Empire State Building, Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Hall and more!
• When your NYC food tour comes to an end, your luxury transfer will be waiting to take you back to your hotel or other predetermined drop-off location.
• Tastings are subject to change based on guests’ food restrictions, itinerary and restaurant opening hours.
• All stops, timing and inclusions of the tour are dependent on traffic and weather conditions.

New York City: 9/11 Memorial and Museum Tour & One World Observatory Half-Day Experience - 5 Hours
New York City: 9/11 Memorial and Museum Tour & One World Observatory Half-Day Experience - 5 Hours
Highlights:
The land where NYC’s Twin Towers once stood is now home to a solemn yet beautiful tribute to those that lost their lives that horrific September morning. Our 9/11 Memorial and Museum Tour & One World Observatory half-day experience gives you a glimpse into that morning and those lives, as well as the February 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Your experience starts on the memorial grounds outside of the museum. As you walk through what was once referred to as Ground Zero, you’ll view the twin reflecting pools that sit in the footprints of the former North and South Towers and are surrounded by bronze parapets that list the names of the victims. After you’ve paid your respects, you’ll continue into the 9/11 Museum. For parties of over four guests, prior to entering, your expert tour guide will provide commentary on what you are about to experience. Once inside, they’ll be able to answer one on one questions only. The final part of your tour is your ascension to the top of One World Trade Center – also known as the Freedom Tower - to experience the beautiful One World Observatory observation deck and take in stunning panoramic views.
• Your experience begins when your private luxury vehicle and tour guide pick you up at your hotel to take you to Downtown / Lower Manhattan.
• As you drive towards your destination, your guide will point out popular attractions in the area including the Brooklyn Bridge, Trinity Church, the Oculus, the FDNY Memorial Wall and more.
• Upon arrival at the 9/11 Memorial, you’ll tour the grounds 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).
• You’ll also see the newest addition to the memorial, the 9/11 Memorial Glade. The Glade represents the workers, first responders, survivors and residents who were exposed to harmful toxins and who have died or are currently living with a chronic illness.
• After paying your respects on the grounds where the Twin Towers once stood, you’ll head into the 9/11 Memorial Museum, which is divided into three main exhibitions, located 70 feet underground. 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.
• Once inside you’ll learn the history of not only the September 11th attacks – but of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing as well. Thanks to the 9 11 Museum’s dynamic blend of architecture, archaeology and history you’ll experience an unforgettable encounter that includes the story of the attacks, the aftermath, and the people who experienced these events. Your visit to the 9/11 museum is surely one you will never forget and a must-do for anyone coming to New York City.
• Your final stop on your private tour will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, One World Trade Center, where you’ll get priority access. After a fascinating elevator ride that has you ascending over 100 stories to the observatory, you’ll be treated to 360-degree views of the New York City skyline and beyond. And that’s not all! You also get $15 to use on food, beverages or merchandise.
• When your time at the One World Trade Center Observatory comes to an end, your luxury transfer will be waiting to take you back to your hotel or other predetermined location.
• All stops, timing and inclusions of the tour are dependent on traffic and weather conditions.

New York City: Private Horse & Carriage Ride in Central Park Tour - 45 Minutes
Highlights:
New York City’s Central Park is 843 acres of pure Zen in the heart of bustling Manhattan. And there are many ways to take it all in while you’re visiting. You can walk through it. You can jog through it. You can bike through it. You can pedicab through it. Or you can do what New Yorkers and tourists alike have been doing since the park opened in 1858 – you can see it via a horse and carriage thanks to our Private Horse & Carriage Ride in Central Park Tour.
On this leisurely ride through Central Park, you can sit back and relax as your driver points out a myriad of iconic attractions, well-known locations and hidden gems.

Bonus – this NYC private tour is a fabulous option for any season! In winter when you’re wrapped up in a blanket snuggled with loved ones, in spring as the cherry blossoms and other beautiful buds are coming to life, in summer when it’s full-on with lush greenery and in fall when the foliage takes over as the star of the show!

Akureyri - Lake Mývatn classic - Nature Baths- FD Tour
Akureyri - Lake Mývatn classic - Nature Baths- FD Tour
The tour starts by driving along the coast of Iceland’s longest fjord, Eyjafjordur, from where you will get an excellent view of Akureyri and its surrounding mountains. After crossing Víkurskard-pass, view the Fnjoskadalur valley, where clear geological remains from glacial and post glacial times can be seen. The first stop is by Godafoss falls - one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland; the water of the river Skjalfandafljot falls from a height of 12 m over a width of 30 m. In 1000 A.D., at the meeting of the Althing, the Icelanders voted to adopt Christianity. The wooden idols of the Norse mythology were thrown into the falls in a symbolic gesture that swept away the old religion. Thus the Godafoss literally means the "Waterfall of the Gods”. From there you will drive directly to the Lake Myvatn area, stopping by the unique craters at Skutustadir before having lunch. After lunch you will visit the Dimmuborgir lava labyrinth, a paradise of towering lava castles, natural arches and countless unexplored grottos.
Next is a visit to the Myvatn Nature Baths. The Nature Baths offer bathers a completely natural experience - a relaxing dip amidst clouds of steam and a luxurious swim in a pool of geothermal water drawn from depths of up to 2.500 meters. The baths contain a unique blend of minerals, silicates and geothermal micro-organisms. The warm, soothing waters are beneficial to skin and spirit alike, creating a sense of wellbeing and creating a lasting memory of your visit. Facilities include a reception area and cafeteria, changing rooms and showers for up to 120 guests, three natural steam baths accommodating up to 50 bathers at a time, and a 5000m2 outdoor geothermal bathing pool maintained at a constant temperature of 38-40ºC.
Due to its chemical composition, undesired bacteria and vegetation do not thrive in the lagoon making chlorine or any other disinfectant redundant. Following a relaxing bathe, you will then continue to the gurgling purple and yellow sulphur cauldrons at the high temperature thermal field of Namaskard, which are so hot that they actually boil. Following a short walk at Namaskard, enjoy a relaxed return drive to Akureyri.

Reykjavik Blue Lagoon experience with transfers – 4 Hours
In the southwest corner of Iceland is the Reykjanes peninsula, less than 1-hour drive from the capital or 20-minute drive from Keflavik International Airport.
There the Mid-Atlantic Ridge comes ashore. The nature is magnificent. Various volcanic formations are found on Reykjanes Peninsula, such as mountains and hills chiefly made of volcanic tuff, large and small lava flows plus different types of volcanoes and volcanic edifices. The Reykjanes peninsula volcanic zone is a direct continuance of the North Atlantic Ridge that surfaces from the ocean at Reykjanes, and it is home to many important geological formations, some of which are utterly unique, including numerous types of volcanoes, naturally carved pools, craters, and geothermal pools.
Few things are cozier than relaxing in a hot pool in the middle of nature. Iceland has an abundance of easily accessible natural pools, but it is perhaps the Blue Lagoon the most spectacular of them all.
The Blue Lagoon was founded in 1992. Its specialty is the geothermal sea, which is two thirds of salt water and one third of fresh water. It is found at a depth of up to 2000 meters and is led by a pipe from the source to the lagoon where guests can enjoy it and relax. It is rich in minerals, silica, and algae, which is the basis of all skin products in the Blue Lagoon.
National Geographic has chosen the Blue Lagoon as one of the 25 wonders of the world. The Blue Lagoon has developed into an experience company based on spas, research and development, skin care, hotels, and restaurants

Ålesund Walking Tour – 3 Hours
Ålesund Walking Tour – 3 Hours
Ålesund differs from most other Norwegian cities with its large concentration of buildings in the Jugend style of architecture. The explanation for this is simple; the town burned to the ground during the Great Fire of 1904. Rebuilding the city took a full three years, aided by numerous local contributions and large donations from the German Kaiser Wilhelm II.
The city planners agreed on consistently using the contemporary style of architecture, Jugend style (also known as Art Nouveau). It is a style characterized by artistic playfulness, fetching inspiration from organic forms and shapes in nature.
This combination of fjords, mountains and a town centre built in so-called art nouveau-style are some of the factors that resulted in Ålesund pinching first place in a survey by the Norwegian daily newspaper Dagbladet. Larger cities like Bergen (second place) and Trondheim (fourth place) – perhaps more famous for their beauty – were not considered to be as scenic as Ålesund when the Norwegians themselves cast their votes.
Walking tour through the winding old city streets, you will learn about the town's historic past. The tour takes in the Art Nouveau houses in the town itself, taking a stroll in the magnificent central district that displays beautiful houses with numerous and elaborate towers, spears and ornaments.

In the house are many reminders of the Afghan war of 1839 in which General Sir John Keane later created Lord Keane of Ghuznee and Cappoquin played an important role. The garden is on a south facing slope crowned with two huge arboretum rhododendrons and planted with unusual trees and flowering shrubs.

Located about 2.5km northwest of the Old Town, buzzing, bayside Västra Hamnen represents the modern face of Malmö. It's a popular spot to stroll, sip coffee and browse boutiques, but mostly people come to marvel at the Öresund bridge and the Turning Torso

Copenhagen Walking tour in the pursuit of Hygge – 4 Hours
Copenhagen Walking tour in the pursuit of Hygge – 4 Hours
Hygge is as Danish as pork roast and it goes far in illuminating the Danish soul. In essence hygge means creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life in the company of good people. The warm glow of candlelight is also hygge. Friends and family – well that’s hygge too.
In the summertime, hygge is spending time in the sun, over a beer at the pier, a picnic in one of the city parks or just hanging out with good friends in one of Copenhagen’s many picturesque and historical back yards.
This 4-hour walking tour will highlight what hygge is all about. The tour starts by exploring the area around the Latin quarters an around the pedestrian street Strøget.
The Latin Quarter is one of the most entertaining areas of Denmark's capital city, with a young-spirited undertone around the vicinity of Copenhagen University. The Latin Quarter is well known for its hang-out spots, alternative shopping and 17th-century architecture.
Part of Danish hygge is having coffee with friends, so we will pick up a cup of coffee to go and a cinnamon roll at Sankt Peders Bakery, Copenhagen oldest bakery which was founded in 1652.
We continue our tour by visiting the church of our Lady. The Copenhagen Cathedral in its present shape is an unpretentious building in Neo-Classicist style designed by the architect C.F. Hansen. It is situated close to the University of Copenhagen. An inside visit to the Round Tower in included.

You will be informed of the present-day Jewish community, its size and the various components that went into its making. The story of the five dark years under Nazi occupation, the deeds of the Danes and their king, Christian X will not be forgotten.
The Danish Jewish Museum, designed by world famous architect Daniel Libeskind, opened in 2004 and is a must-see for anyone interested in the Jews of Denmark. Located in the center of Copenhagen, the museum is a great starting point for exploring Jewish history in Denmark. The museum presents 400 years of Danish Jewish history, including the rescue and deportation of the Danish Jews in 1943. Copenhagen’s main synagogue finished in 1833 is located in Krystalgade (Crystal Street) in the old part of Copenhagen and will be viewed from its exterior during the tour.

Christianshavn & Dragør tour – 4 Hours
Christianshavn & Dragør tour – 4 Hours
Narrow cobbled streets, Michelin-starred restaurants and cozy cafes along the canal. Just across the bridge Knippels Bro is Christianshavn, officially part of Copenhagen city center. Christianshavn is a much-desired area for Copenhageners to live in. And it is easy to see why. It is central, full of bars and restaurants and has a unique maritime atmosphere.
Dragør was founded in the 12th century, and it grew quickly as a fishing port. During the medieval period it was an international marketplace for Hanseatic merchants who came each year to buy herring. In the early sixteenth century, King Christian II invited a group of farmers from the Netherlands - at the time, a more agriculturally advanced nation than Denmark - to settle here to produce food for the royal household. You still find many Dutch names on the doors in Dragør. The town center is very idyllic with its characteristic yellow painted houses, thatched straw roofs and cobblestone streets, plus a charming harbor that is still an active fishing port.
Christiansborg Palace is located on the tiny island of Slotsholmen and houses Denmark's Parliament. It is the Prime Minister's residence and where the Queen of Denmark receives visiting royalty and heads of state in its royal reception rooms. In the Marble Hall, see the incredible, colorful tapestries displaying Danish and world history over the past 1,000 year.

This tour will take you on a journey of relaxation in a candlelit historical building. AIRE Spa is inspired by the tradition of baths from ancient Roman, Greek and Ottoman civilizations. Here you will go at your own pace through different baths at different temperatures. Including 30 min massage.
You continue the excursion at the Cisternerne, an old water reservoir built in 1856-1859. The cisterns are located on Frederiksberg Hill, 31 meters above sea level, the highest point of the very flat Danish capital. The natural pressure, when the water was let out, allowed the water to travel all the way up into the new Copenhagen town houses contributing considerably to the improvement of the water supplied to locals.
In 1933 the cisterns stopped functioning as a water reservoir and for many decades these subterranean chambers were forgotten until 2013 when the building became a part of The Frederiksberg Museums.

Located about 2.5km northwest of the Old Town, buzzing, bayside Västra Hamnen represents the modern face of Malmö. It's a popular spot to stroll, sip coffee and browse boutiques, but mostly people come to marvel at the Öresund bridge and the Turning Torso
After Malmö we continue to Lund, founded by the Danes around 1000 AD and once the seat of the largest archbishopric in Europe, Lund is the second-oldest city in Sweden.

Radiating around it is the country's oldest, most prestigious university (c 1666).

Copenhagen Walking tour in the pursuit of Hygge – 4 Hours
Hygge is as Danish as pork roast and it goes far in illuminating the Danish soul. In essence hygge means creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life in the company of good people. The warm glow of candlelight is also hygge. Friends and family – well that’s hygge too.
In the summertime, hygge is spending time in the sun, over a beer at the pier, a picnic in one of the city parks or just hanging out with good friends in one of Copenhagen’s many picturesque and historical back yards.
This 4-hour walking tour will highlight what hygge is all about. The tour starts by exploring the area around the Latin quarters an around the pedestrian street Strøget.
The Latin Quarter is one of the most entertaining areas of Denmark's capital city, with a young-spirited undertone around the vicinity of Copenhagen University. The Latin Quarter is well known for its hang-out spots, alternative shopping and 17th-century architecture.
Part of Danish hygge is having coffee with friends, so we will pick up a cup of coffee to go and a cinnamon roll at Sankt Peders Bakery, Copenhagen oldest bakery which was founded in 1652.
We continue our tour by visiting the church of our Lady. The Copenhagen Cathedral in its present shape is an unpretentious building in Neo-Classicist style designed by the architect C.F. Hansen.

Copenhagen -Historical Spa and visit to the Cistern– 5 hours
This tour will take you on a journey of relaxation in a candlelit historical building. AIRE Spa is inspired by the tradition of baths from ancient Roman, Greek and Ottoman civilizations. Here you will go at your own pace through different baths at different temperatures. Including 30 min massage.
You continue the excursion at the Cisternerne, an old water reservoir built in 1856-1859. The cisterns are located on Frederiksberg Hill, 31 meters above sea level, the highest point of the very flat Danish capital. The natural pressure, when the water was let out, allowed the water to travel all the way up into the new Copenhagen town houses contributing considerably to the improvement of the water supplied to locals.
In 1933 the cisterns stopped functioning as a water reservoir and for many decades these subterranean chambers were forgotten until 2013 when the building became a part of The Frederiksberg Museums. Today, the old subterranean water reservoir of Soendermarken is home of events and art exhibitions that awaken all senses. The huge dripstone cave is sparsely lit, the climate is moist and cool, and a magical art experience is guaranteed.

Saint Malo Shore Excursion - Brittany Coast and Saint Malo - 8 hours
HIGHLIGHTS
- St Malo: Walled and built with the same grey granite stone as Mont St Michel, ST-MALO was originally in the Middle Ages a fortified island at the mouth of the Rance, controlling not only the estuary but the open sea beyond. In later centuries it became notorious as the home of a fierce breed of pirate-mariners, who were never quite under anybody's control but their own; for four years from 1590, St-Malo even declared itself to be an independent republic. The corsaires of St-Malo not only forced English ships passing up the Channel to pay tribute, but also brought wealth from further afield.

New York City: Brooklyn Essential Walking Tour - 4 Hours
New York City: Brooklyn Essential Walking Tour - 4 Hours
Highlights:
Brooklyn Bridge - Opened in 1883 after thirteen years of construction and was built across the East River to connect Manhattan with the then-rural city of Brooklyn. From the beginning, the bridge’s designer, John A. Roebling, planned not just a structure of convenience, but a great work of art that would stand the test of time. The Brooklyn Bridge is a fully accessible bridge, with a center lane above traffic open to bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Your fully guided tour takes you on a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge; a walk taken every day by commuters and tourists, and during times of crisis, such as after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11. Brooklyn Heights- One of the best-kept secrets of the City of New York is Brooklyn Heights, a beautiful district in Brooklyn. Some historians call it one of the first suburbs in the United States. Brooklyn Heights is unique as it radiates a hometown atmosphere while situated right next door to one of the most recognizable cityscapes in the world. In 1964, Brooklyn Heights was the first area designated as a New York City Historic District. You will understand why as you see Federal style homes built in the 1820s, brick and brownstone homes from the 1830s and 1840s, and two Italianate mansions that overlook Pierrepont Street. DUMBO- DUMBO’s name is an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, and the span gives the creatively oriented neighborhood much of its character—as do cobblestone streets and dramatic architecture left over from its industrial days. Today, DUMBO features art galleries, independent bookshops, boutiques, confectionaries, and waterfront parks where locals and tourists thrive. DUMBO offers some of the best photo ops including the Empire State Building framed by the Manhattan Bridge.
- 4-Hours with a private guide.
- Guests will walk across the Brooklyn Bridge from the Manhattan side where they will learn the history and view the spectacular skyline. Guests will then venture into Brooklyn Heights which is a posh residential area filled with elegant brownstones. Here, guests will learn about the culture and the history of the area which is often referred to as the first suburb in the United States. Guests will also visit the waterfront park before heading to DUMBO and then back to Manhattan.
- During the tour you may also see: Dumbo Art Galleries, views of Lady Liberty, Manhattan Bridge and Empire State Building (indoor entrance tickets are not included for any locations).

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: The Origins of NYC Sightseeing Program
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: A Cultural Walk Through Little Italy and Chinatown - 4 Hours
New York City: A Cultural Walk Through Little Italy and Chinatown - 4 Hours
Highlights:
There are numerous ethnic groups in New York City, but only two have neighborhoods named after them: one is Little Italy, and the other is Chinatown. Little Italy was formed in the late 1800s as millions of Italian immigrants streamed into the United States. And although nowadays you do not hear much Italian on the street, there are still old school establishments that carry on the traditions. Chinatown on the other hand is still growing and when you enter it, it is like being transported to another country. All the signs are in Chinese, the languages spoken are all dialects of Chinese, the produce and food shops sell many items you will not recognize. It is a submersion into another culture. Join your guide on this walking tour and find out what is below the surface that makes both these neighborhoods even more unique and intriguing.

New York City: Private Bagel Making, Cragel and Donut Deluxe NYC Food Tour - 4 Hours
Highlights:
When you think of New York City – what food comes to mind? If you said bagels, you’d most likely be in the majority. There’s nothing like a NYC bagel for breakfast, brunch, lunch - and heck for dinner too! 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!
-
Your exclusive bagel adventure begins when your professional driver and expert, licensed tour guide pick you up at your hotel in a private luxury vehicle.
-
From there you’ll head to your first stop, Utopia Bagels in Whitestone, Queens. Here you’ll not only discover the history of this iconic food and how it’s made, but you’ll also get a unique hands-on bagel rolling and baking experience! And of course, you’ll also get to sample those delicious hot fresh bagels, a variety of spreads, and a luxurious lox sandwich.
-
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. This particular bagel shop is home to the famous “cragel” which is a pastry that combines a bagel and a croissant for one tasty treat. 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
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.
• Upon completion of these three pieces of American history your private driver will pick you up in your luxury vehicle and drop you off at your requested end destination.

New York City: What’s Up in the Air - 8 Hours
Highlights:
Want to check out New York City from an entirely different perspective? Join us for our What’s Up in the Air specialty experience! Featuring a private NYC Helicopter Tour, NYC Architecture Tour and more, this is a full day of sky-high adventures.
Your first stop is at one of the Big Apple's jaw-dropping observation desks. You get to choose from a VIP private guided tour of Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center or an Express Pass to the Empire State Building. No matter which you select you won’t be disappointed! After you take in the magnificent views from high above Manhattan, you’ll meet up with your expert BTSQ licensed tour guide who’ll take you on a skyscraper tour featuring some of the tallest buildings in the city.
Before embarking on the last part of this unique journey you’ll have time to grab some lunch. Beyond Times Square will secure a reservation at your choice of restaurant and will happily offer suggestions based on your personal tastes. (Cost of lunch is not included.) After lunch, it’s time for the grand finale – a private helicopter tour over the Manhattan skyline where you'll get an overhead view of everything you looked out from - and up at - throughout the day!
• Your adventure begins when you’re picked up in your private luxury vehicle at your hotel to head to either the Top of the Rock for your 45-minute guided tour or to the Empire State Building for your Express Pass. (NOTE: There is no tour included with the ESB Express Pass.) No matter which you choose you’ll enjoy panoramic views with plenty of photo opportunities.
• After your observation deck excursion your expert tour guide will meet you for the next leg of your day – a private architecture tour focused on skyscrapers. On this tour, you’ll see all types of structures - many of which once held the title of the world’s tallest building, and may include some of the following:
-
One World Trade Center: Fun fact - Its height is 1,776 feet which is symbolic of the year the US Declaration of Independence was signed.
-
Central Park Tower: This is the tallest residential tower on the planet at 1,550 feet!
-
111 West 57th Street on Billionaires Row: Soaring to a height of 1,428 feet it’s the skinniest building in the world.
-
One Vanderbilt: At 1,401 feet it has the distinction of being the first super skyscraper in Midtown-East Manhattan.
-
432 Park Avenue: This 1,397-foot residential tower is the tallest in the Western Hemisphere.
-
30 Hudson Yards: This building is LEED Gold certified meaning the 1,270-foot structure is cost-effective, efficient and better for occupants and the environment.
-
Empire State Building: When it was built it was the first building in the world to have more than 100 floors and comes in at 1,250 feet
-
Bank of America Tower: At 1,200 feet, this one is unique as it was built to use 45% less water than buildings similar in size.
-
3 World Trade Center: Defined by its stainless steel-clad exterior frame it stands at 1.079 feet tall.
-
Brooklyn Tower: This 1,073-foot-tall tower is the tallest in the borough.
-
53 West 53rd Street: A 1,050-foot architectural wonder designed by Jean Nouvel.
-
Chrysler Building: Briefly holding the crown as the tallest building in the world and known for its terraced crown – its height is 1,046 feet.
-
NY Times Building: At 1,046 feet it’s tied with the Chrysler Building as the 12th tallest building in the city.
• After your sensational skyscraper tour, it’s time for lunch at a pre-determined venue - perhaps even a rooftop restaurant to keep with the theme.
• After lunch it’s time for the grand finale – a 30-minute deluxe private helicopter tour over Manhattan! Your guide will take you to the Heliport at 6 East River Piers (on South Street between the Seaport District and the Staten Island Ferry Terminal downtown) 30 minutes prior to your flight time, where he’ll get you checked in before saying goodbye.
• Your private helicopter tour will have you soaring above New York City’s iconic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Brooklyn Bridge, New York Harbor and many, many more.
• Upon completion of your helicopter tour your private driver will pick you up in your luxury vehicle and drop you off at your requested end destination.

New York City: Your Way Through Manhattan NYC Food Tour - 4 Hours
New York City: Your Way Through Manhattan NYC Food Tour - 4 Hours
Highlights:
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.
• Your tour may start with a bite in Hell’s Kitchen, which is the home of various international cuisines and numerous trendy popular restaurants.
• 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.
• Along the way you may see some of New York City’s most well-known attractions and locales including Chinatown, Tribeca, Madison Square Garden, the Empire State Building, Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Hall and more!
• When your NYC food tour comes to an end, your luxury transfer will be waiting to take you back to your hotel or other predetermined drop-off location.

New York City: 9/11 Memorial and Museum Tour & One World Observatory Half-Day Experience - 5 Hours
New York City: 9/11 Memorial and Museum Tour & One World Observatory Half-Day Experience - 5 Hours
Highlights:
The land where NYC’s Twin Towers once stood is now home to a solemn yet beautiful tribute to those that lost their lives that horrific September morning. Our 9/11 Memorial and Museum Tour & One World Observatory half-day experience gives you a glimpse into that morning and those lives, as well as the February 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Your experience starts on the memorial grounds outside of the museum. As you walk through what was once referred to as Ground Zero, you’ll view the twin reflecting pools that sit in the footprints of the former North and South Towers and are surrounded by bronze parapets that list the names of the victims. After you’ve paid your respects, you’ll continue into the 9/11 Museum. For parties of over four guests, prior to entering, your expert tour guide will provide commentary on what you are about to experience. Once inside, they’ll be able to answer one on one questions only. The final part of your tour is your ascension to the top of One World Trade Center – also known as the Freedom Tower - to experience the beautiful One World Observatory observation deck and take in stunning panoramic views.
• Your experience begins when your private luxury vehicle and tour guide pick you up at your hotel to take you to Downtown / Lower Manhattan.
• As you drive towards your destination, your guide will point out popular attractions in the area including the Brooklyn Bridge, Trinity Church, the Oculus, the FDNY Memorial Wall and more.
• Upon arrival at the 9/11 Memorial, you’ll tour the grounds 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).
• You’ll also see the newest addition to the memorial, the 9/11 Memorial Glade. The Glade represents the workers, first responders, survivors and residents who were exposed to harmful toxins and who have died or are currently living with a chronic illness.
• After paying your respects on the grounds where the Twin Towers once stood, you’ll head into the 9/11 Memorial Museum, which is divided into three main exhibitions, located 70 feet underground. 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.
• Once inside you’ll learn the history of not only the September 11th attacks – but of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing as well. Thanks to the 9 11 Museum’s dynamic blend of architecture, archaeology and history you’ll experience an unforgettable encounter that includes the story of the attacks, the aftermath, and the people who experienced these events. Your visit to the 9/11 museum is surely one you will never forget and a must-do for anyone coming to New York City.
• Your final stop on your private tour will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, One World Trade Center, where you’ll get priority access. After a fascinating elevator ride that has you ascending over 100 stories to the observatory, you’ll be treated to 360-degree views of the New York City skyline and beyond. And that’s not all! You also get $15 to use on food, beverages or merchandise.
• When your time at the One World Trade Center Observatory comes to an end, your luxury transfer will be waiting to take you back to your hotel or other predetermined location.

New York City: Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island
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: Brooklyn Essential Walking Tour - 4 Hours
New York City: Brooklyn Essential Walking Tour - 4 Hours
Highlights:
Brooklyn Bridge - Opened in 1883 after thirteen years of construction and was built across the East River to connect Manhattan with the then-rural city of Brooklyn. From the beginning, the bridge’s designer, John A. Roebling, planned not just a structure of convenience, but a great work of art that would stand the test of time. The Brooklyn Bridge is a fully accessible bridge, with a center lane above traffic open to bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Your fully guided tour takes you on a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge; a walk taken every day by commuters and tourists, and during times of crisis, such as after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11. Brooklyn Heights- One of the best-kept secrets of the City of New York is Brooklyn Heights, a beautiful district in Brooklyn. Some historians call it one of the first suburbs in the United States. Brooklyn Heights is unique as it radiates a hometown atmosphere while situated right next door to one of the most recognizable cityscapes in the world. In 1964, Brooklyn Heights was the first area designated as a New York City Historic District. You will understand why as you see Federal style homes built in the 1820s, brick and brownstone homes from the 1830s and 1840s, and two Italianate mansions that overlook Pierrepont Street. DUMBO- DUMBO’s name is an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, and the span gives the creatively oriented neighborhood much of its character—as do cobblestone streets and dramatic architecture left over from its industrial days. Today, DUMBO features art galleries, independent bookshops, boutiques, confectionaries, and waterfront parks where locals and tourists thrive. DUMBO offers some of the best photo ops including the Empire State Building framed by the Manhattan Bridge.
- 4-Hours with a private guide.
- Guests will walk across the Brooklyn Bridge from the Manhattan side where they will learn the history and view the spectacular skyline. Guests will then venture into Brooklyn Heights which is a posh residential area filled with elegant brownstones. Here, guests will learn about the culture and the history of the area which is often referred to as the first suburb in the United States. Guests will also visit the waterfront park before heading to DUMBO and then back to Manhattan.

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: The Origins of NYC Sightseeing Program
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: A Cultural Walk Through Little Italy and Chinatown - 4 Hours
New York City: A Cultural Walk Through Little Italy and Chinatown - 4 Hours
Highlights:
There are numerous ethnic groups in New York City, but only two have neighborhoods named after them: one is Little Italy, and the other is Chinatown. Little Italy was formed in the late 1800s as millions of Italian immigrants streamed into the United States. And although nowadays you do not hear much Italian on the street, there are still old school establishments that carry on the traditions. Chinatown on the other hand is still growing and when you enter it, it is like being transported to another country. All the signs are in Chinese, the languages spoken are all dialects of Chinese, the produce and food shops sell many items you will not recognize. It is a submersion into another culture. Join your guide on this walking tour and find out what is below the surface that makes both these neighborhoods even more unique and intriguing.
- Meet your guide on the corner of Lafayette and Broome Street in Little Italy.

New York City: Private Bagel Making, Cragel and Donut Deluxe NYC Food Tour - 4 Hours
Highlights:
When you think of New York City – what food comes to mind? If you said bagels, you’d most likely be in the majority. There’s nothing like a NYC bagel for breakfast, brunch, lunch - and heck for dinner too! 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!
-
Your exclusive bagel adventure begins when your professional driver and expert, licensed tour guide pick you up at your hotel in a private luxury vehicle.
-
From there you’ll head to your first stop, Utopia Bagels in Whitestone, Queens. Here you’ll not only discover the history of this iconic food and how it’s made, but you’ll also get a unique hands-on bagel rolling and baking experience! And of course, you’ll also get to sample those delicious hot fresh bagels, a variety of spreads, and a luxurious lox sandwich.
-
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. This particular bagel shop is home to the famous “cragel” which is a pastry that combines a bagel and a croissant for one tasty treat. 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
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.
• Upon completion of these three pieces of American history your private driver will pick you up in your luxury vehicle and drop you off at your requested end destination.

• After your observation deck excursion your expert tour guide will meet you for the next leg of your day – a private architecture tour focused on skyscrapers. On this tour, you’ll see all types of structures - many of which once held the title of the world’s tallest building, and may include some of the following:
-
One World Trade Center: Fun fact - Its height is 1,776 feet which is symbolic of the year the US Declaration of Independence was signed.
-
Central Park Tower: This is the tallest residential tower on the planet at 1,550 feet!

30 Hudson Yards: This building is LEED Gold certified meaning the 1,270-foot structure is cost-effective, efficient and better for occupants and the environment.
-
Empire State Building: When it was built it was the first building in the world to have more than 100 floors and comes in at 1,250 feet
-
Bank of America Tower: At 1,200 feet, this one is unique as it was built to use 45% less water than buildings similar in size.

-
Brooklyn Tower: This 1,073-foot-tall tower is the tallest in the borough.

-
NY Times Building: At 1,046 feet it’s tied with the Chrysler Building as the 12th tallest building in the city.

New York City: Your Way Through Manhattan NYC Food Tour - 4 Hours
New York City: Your Way Through Manhattan NYC Food Tour - 4 Hours
Highlights:
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.
• Your tour may start with a bite in Hell’s Kitchen, which is the home of various international cuisines and numerous trendy popular restaurants.
• 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.
• Along the way you may see some of New York City’s most well-known attractions and locales including Chinatown, Tribeca, Madison Square Garden, the Empire State Building, Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Hall and more!
• When your NYC food tour comes to an end, your luxury transfer will be waiting to take you back to your hotel or other predetermined drop-off location.
• Tastings are subject to change based on guests’ food restrictions, itinerary and restaurant opening hours.
• All stops, timing and inclusions of the tour are dependent on traffic and weather conditions.

New York City: Eating Your Way Through Manhattan NYC Food Tour - 4 Hours
New York City: Eating Your Way Through Manhattan NYC Food Tour - 4 Hours
Highlights:
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.
• Your tour may start with a bite in Hell’s Kitchen, which is the home of various international cuisines and numerous trendy popular restaurants.
• 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.
• Along the way you may see some of New York City’s most well-known attractions and locales including Chinatown, Tribeca, Madison Square Garden, the Empire State Building, Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Hall and more!
• When your NYC food tour comes to an end, your luxury transfer will be waiting to take you back to your hotel or other predetermined drop-off location.
• Tastings are subject to change based on guests’ food restrictions, itinerary and restaurant opening hours.
• All stops, timing and inclusions of the tour are dependent on traffic and weather conditions.

New York City: 9/11 Memorial and Museum Tour & One World Observatory Half-Day Experience - 5 Hours
New York City: 9/11 Memorial and Museum Tour & One World Observatory Half-Day Experience - 5 Hours
Highlights:
The land where NYC’s Twin Towers once stood is now home to a solemn yet beautiful tribute to those that lost their lives that horrific September morning. Our 9/11 Memorial and Museum Tour & One World Observatory half-day experience gives you a glimpse into that morning and those lives, as well as the February 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Your experience starts on the memorial grounds outside of the museum. As you walk through what was once referred to as Ground Zero, you’ll view the twin reflecting pools that sit in the footprints of the former North and South Towers and are surrounded by bronze parapets that list the names of the victims. After you’ve paid your respects, you’ll continue into the 9/11 Museum. For parties of over four guests, prior to entering, your expert tour guide will provide commentary on what you are about to experience. Once inside, they’ll be able to answer one on one questions only. The final part of your tour is your ascension to the top of One World Trade Center – also known as the Freedom Tower - to experience the beautiful One World Observatory observation deck and take in stunning panoramic views.
• Your experience begins when your private luxury vehicle and tour guide pick you up at your hotel to take you to Downtown / Lower Manhattan.
• As you drive towards your destination, your guide will point out popular attractions in the area including the Brooklyn Bridge, Trinity Church, the Oculus, the FDNY Memorial Wall and more.
• Upon arrival at the 9/11 Memorial, you’ll tour the grounds 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).
• You’ll also see the newest addition to the memorial, the 9/11 Memorial Glade. The Glade represents the workers, first responders, survivors and residents who were exposed to harmful toxins and who have died or are currently living with a chronic illness.
• After paying your respects on the grounds where the Twin Towers once stood, you’ll head into the 9/11 Memorial Museum, which is divided into three main exhibitions, located 70 feet underground. 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.
• Once inside you’ll learn the history of not only the September 11th attacks – but of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing as well. Thanks to the 9 11 Museum’s dynamic blend of architecture, archaeology and history you’ll experience an unforgettable encounter that includes the story of the attacks, the aftermath, and the people who experienced these events. Your visit to the 9/11 museum is surely one you will never forget and a must-do for anyone coming to New York City.
• Your final stop on your private tour will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, One World Trade Center, where you’ll get priority access. After a fascinating elevator ride that has you ascending over 100 stories to the observatory, you’ll be treated to 360-degree views of the New York City skyline and beyond. And that’s not all! You also get $15 to use on food, beverages or merchandise.
• When your time at the One World Trade Center Observatory comes to an end, your luxury transfer will be waiting to take you back to your hotel or other predetermined location.
• All stops, timing and inclusions of the tour are dependent on traffic and weather conditions.
