Tour Itinerary & Highlights
Note: This is a suggested itinerary – we can customize based on your preferences.
- If gardens are your passion, there are plenty of opportunities to wander through them within the five boroughs. For instance, Mount Prospect Park is home to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. Staten Island offers Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden. You’ll find the Queens Botanical Garden in Flushing. In the Bronx, you can visit Wave Hill Public Garden & Cultural Center. And Manhattan has a host of options, many located in Central Park.
- New York City is home to world-class performing arts, museums, art galleries and more, meaning if you’re into the arts, you’ve certainly come to the right place! Some of the finest examples of these forms of the arts would be The Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Met, the Museum of Modern Art aka MoMA, The Guggenheim Museum, The New York Public Library, Broadway, The Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, The Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), The High Line and The Chelsea Galleries – just to name a few!
- Are you a “foodie” who loves to try the cuisine when visiting a new city? Restaurants, food tours and culinary experiences abound in NYC! Some fabulous food tours include our Pizza & Gelato Food Tasting Walking Tour, our Private Bagel, Cragel and Donut Deluxe Tour and our Cupcake Food Tasting Walking Tour. Culinary experiences could encompass a Bateaux Dinner Cruise, a picnic lunch in Central Park and reservations at some of NYC’s finest restaurants for breakfast, lunch, dinner and perhaps NYC’s favorite meal – brunch!
