Gateway to Central Park and Midtown.
Art Deco icon.
The central portion of the New York City borough of Manhattan and serves as the city's primary central business district. Midtown is home to some of the city's most prominent buildings, including the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project, the headquarters of the United Nations, Grand Central Terminal, and Rockefeller Center, as well as several prominent tourist destinations including Broadway, Times Square, and Koreatown. Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan is the busiest transportation hub in the Western Hemisphere Midtown Manhattan is one of the largest central business districts in the world and ranks among the world's most expensive locations for real estate; Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan has commanded the world's highest retail rents, with average annual rents at US$3,000 per square foot.
The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco-style skyscraper located in Midtown South, Manhattan, New York City. Designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, it was constructed between 1930 and 1931. Named after New York's nickname, "Empire State," the building has a roof height of 1,250 feet (380 m) and reaches a total height of 1,454 feet (443.2 m), including its antenna. It was the world's tallest building until the North Tower of the World Trade Center surpassed it in 1970. After the September 11 attacks in 2001, it regained the title of New York City's tallest building until One World Trade Center surpassed it in 2012. As of 2025, it ranks as the eighth-tallest building in New York City, the tenth-tallest completed skyscraper in the United States, and the 59th-tallest in the world.
One of NYC’s most photographed structures. The Flatiron Building, originally the Fuller Building, is a triangular 22-story, 285-foot-tall (86.9 m) steel-framed land-marked building at 175 Fifth Avenue in the eponymous Flatiron District neighborhood of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. Designed by Daniel Burnham and Frederick P. Dinkelberg, and known in its early days as "Burnham's Folly", it was completed in 1902 and originally included 20 floors. The building sits on a triangular block formed by Fifth Avenue, Broadway, and East 22nd Street—where the building's 87-foot (27 m) back end is located—with East 23rd Street grazing the triangle's northern (uptown) peak. The name "Flatiron" derives from its triangular shape, which recalls that of a cast-iron clothes iron
Also known as the West Village draws fashionable crowds to its designer boutiques and trendy restaurants. Quaint streets, some still cobblestoned, are lined with Federal-style townhouses and dotted with public squares. Notable venues include the Village Vanguard jazz club and the Stonewall Inn bar, site of the 1969 riots that launched the gay rights movement. The historically arty area also has piano bars, cabarets and theaters.
Washington Square Park is a 9.75-acre (3.95 ha) public park in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City. One of the best known of New York City's public parks, it is an icon as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity. The park is an open space, dominated by the Washington Square Arch at the northern gateway to the park, with a tradition of celebrating nonconformity. The park's fountain area has long been one of the city's popular spots, and many of the local buildings have at one time served as homes and studios for artists. Many buildings have been built by New York University, while others have been converted from their former uses into academic and residential buildings.
The Meatpacking District is a hip commercial area on the far west side. It's home to the Whitney Museum of American Art, high-end designer clothing stores and a stretch of the High Line, an elevated park built atop former railroad tracks. At ground level, the cobblestone streets are filled with trendy restaurants and clubs that have taken over the cavernous spaces once occupied by the namesake meatpacking plants.
Also known as GCT for short, is a major commuter rail hub and the southern terminus of Metro-North Railroad’s Harlem, Hudson, and New Haven Lines. - It is the third-busiest train station in North America, after New York Penn Station and Toronto Union Station. - The Beaux-Arts architecture and interior design have earned it multiple landmark designations, including National Historic Landmark status. - Grand Central attracts over 21 million visitors annually (excluding transit passengers) and features in numerous films and TV shows. - Amenities include shops, upscale restaurants, a food hall, grocery marketplace, library, event hall, tennis club, control center, railroad offices, and a sub-basement power station. - Built by the New York Central Railroad, the terminal opened in 1913 on the site of two earlier stations and served intercity trains until 1991.
For an unforgettable view of the statue and Ellis Island, The Battery (formerly known as Battery Park). Located on the southern tip of Lower Manhattan, is a great vantage point for taking in fabulous views of the New York Harbor, Governor’s Island, Brooklyn, the New Jersey Shore, and the Verrazano Bridge.
A Catholic cathedral in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. It is the seat of the Archbishop of New York as well as a parish church. The cathedral occupies a city block bounded by 5th Avenue, Madison Avenue, 50th Street, and 51st Street, directly across from Rockefeller Center. Designed by James Renwick Jr., it is the largest Gothic Revival Catholic cathedral in North America. It was constructed starting in 1858 to accommodate the growing Archdiocese of New York and to replace St. Patrick's Old Cathedral. Work was halted in the early 1860s during the American Civil War; the cathedral was completed in 1878 and dedicated on May 25, 1879. The archbishop's house and rectory were added in the early 1880s, both designed by James Renwick Jr., and the spires were added in 1888.
You'll get to ride over one of the world's most iconic suspension bridges which first opened in 1883.
The National September 11 Memorial & Museum is a memorial that is part of the World Trade Center complex, in New York City, created for remembering the September 11 attacks of 2001, which killed 2,977 people, and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six.
The bridge was proposed in 1898 and was originally called "Bridge No. 3" before being renamed the Manhattan Bridge in 1902. Foundations for the bridge's suspension towers were completed in 1904, followed by the anchorages in 1907 and the towers in 1908. The Manhattan Bridge opened to traffic on December 31, 1909, and began carrying streetcars in 1912 and New York City Subway trains in 1915. The eastern upper-deck roadway was installed in 1922. After streetcars stopped running in 1929, the western upper roadway was finished two years later.
At its height, Little Italy spanned Lower Manhattan from Lafayette Street (west) to Bowery (east), Kenmare Street (north) to Worth Street (south). - Today, it covers just five blocks along Mulberry Street north of Canal Street. - The neighborhood began at Mulberry Bend, once part of the Five Points area, now the heart of Chinatown. - In the late 19th century, mass immigration from Italy led many settlers to Lower Manhattan, creating a concentrated Italian community.
Manhattan’s Chinatown sits in Lower Manhattan, bordered by the Lower East Side, Little Italy, Civic Center, and Tribeca. - Home to 90,000–100,000 residents, it boasts the highest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere. - One of the oldest Chinese ethnic enclaves, it’s also one of nine Chinatowns in NYC and twelve in the metro area. - The New York metropolitan area holds the largest ethnic Chinese population outside Asia, with about 893,697 people as of 2017.
The neighborhood began as farmland, then was a residential neighborhood in the early 19th century, before becoming a mercantile area centered on produce, dry goods, and textiles, and then transitioning to artists and then actors, models, entrepreneurs, and other celebrities. The neighborhood is home to the TriBeCa Festival, which was created in response to the September 11 attacks, to reinvigorate the neighborhood and downtown after the destruction caused by the terrorist attacks.
The Brooklyn Heights Promenade, also called the Esplanade, is a 1,826-foot (557 m)-long platform and pedestrian walkway cantilevered over the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (Interstate 278) in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, New York City, United States. With views of Lower Manhattan's skyline and the New York Harbor, it came about as the byproduct of competing proposals for the highway's route that were resolved in the midst of World War II. Actual construction came after the war. As a structure built over a roadway, the Promenade is owned by the NYC DOT and is not considered a park; however, NYC Parks maintains the entire Promenade.
The name "SoHo" derives from the area being "South of Houston Street", and was coined in 1962 by Chester Rapkin, an urban planner and author of The South Houston Industrial Area study, also known as the "Rapkin Report". The name also recalls Soho, an area in London's West End. Almost all of SoHo is included in the SoHo–Cast Iron Historic District, which was designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1973, extended in 2010, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978. It consists of 26 blocks and approximately 500 buildings, many of them incorporating cast-iron architectural elements. Many side streets in the district are paved with Belgian blocks.
Also known as FiDi, is a neighborhood located on the southern tip of Manhattan. It is bounded by the West Side Highway on the west, Chambers Street and City Hall Park on the north, Brooklyn Bridge on the northeast, the East River to the southeast, and South Ferry and the Battery on the south. New York was created in the modern-day Financial District in 1624, and the neighborhood roughly overlaps with the boundaries of the New Amsterdam settlement in the late 17th century. The district comprises the offices and headquarters of many of the city's major financial institutions, including the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Anchored on Wall Street in the Financial District, New York City has been called both the leading financial center and the most economically powerful city of the world, and the New York Stock Exchange is the world's largest stock exchange.

He was a wonderful tour guide, he made sure we were comfortable the entire tour. He was very informative about each attraction as well even bought us to the best pizza place, slice of heaven 😋
We took this private tour for 5 hours with Laurie our guide and Juan as our driver. They let us choose what we wanted to see and even having New York Cheesecake while sitting in a park together. We saw so many sites in Manhattan, and even took us to see Yankee Stadium. We truly enjoyed this tour.
Extremely knowledgeable guide who showed places we would have never found on our own. Isaac was extremely pleasant and made time fly
Isaac is the best. He knows New York and he has a great personality. Great tour! Way to end our trip!
We toured with Nancy, and she was AMAZING! Extremely knowledgeable and knew the best places to go. This was an awesome tour.
Isaac was an excellent communicator. He helped accommodate a few changes that worked out great. Laurie, the tour guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. She was a joy to lead our family tour.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing tour of New York City with Issac! He made the entire experience both fun and educational, sharing interesting facts and stories throughout the day while keeping everyone engaged. We visited some of NYC’s most iconic attractions, including the LEGO Store, the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the Brooklyn Bridge. One of the highlights was stopping for authentic New York-style pizza. We absolutely loved Pizzahaus and appreciated that Issac included local favorites as part of the experience. Issac’s enthusiasm, knowledge, and friendly personality made the tour unforgettable. He kept everything organized while making sure we had plenty of opportunities to enjoy the city and create great memories. We would definitely come back to New York City and would specifically ask for Issac as our guide again. Highly recommended!
Our guide/driver, Isaac was very nice, polite, informative, knowledgeable and very patient. We didn’t feel rushed. We enjoyed our tour and it was a pleasant experience to see NYC landmarks in comfort.
The private Lincoln Navigator tour was absolutely the right way to see the city and its highlights! Our driver Isaac was incredible. His command of the city’s history was amazing. We could not have asked for a better afternoon.
Issac is the best 🗽 Isaac made our experience unforgettable. From the moment we met him, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. 🍎 From the moment we slept in the car, we felt like family! He made sure that we hit our must see, took us to really interesting places, and we had a chance to stop and enjoy one of the best pizzas of my life! 🍕 If you're fortunate enough to have Isaac as your driver, you're in for a fantastic experience. He is an excellent guide, a consummate professional, and simply a wonderful person. Highly recommended! 🗽

Yitz is an amazing tour guide. Car was so comfortable and it was a great way for the kids ti see NYC quickly. He accomodated our special needs. Weve nevr done a private tour. Now we know why people do it. Happy wife happy life.
Issac was amazing! Made us feel like he knew us personally! Very welcoming and sincere! Had lots of knowledge of the city . The SUV was very comfortable and clean ! Great personality and funny!! 5⭐️for sure !!
Issac was our driver and pick us up on time. He had a clean vehicle with plenty room and asked out names and got to know each of us individually. Was very knowledgeable on his history as we drove around there city and pointed out some key facts. He also supplied us with water and was very personally and funny. My favorite spot was the small pizza place. I would for sure recommend Issac for any of your tours.
Issac was FANTASTIC! Great commutation before pick up. Loved the tour, very informative - I learned a lot about the sites we visited. Comfortable and clean! My favorite stop was his secret pizza place! Thank you so much and I’d love to do this again on our next trip to NYC! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had the best tour. Thank you! Booking was so easy via the Bonvoy app. Our driver was excellent and our tour guide Nacy was amazing, so knowledgeable and friendly! We would definitely book again when we return! 5*
What a wonderful way to introduce almost anyone to New Yorkl
Issac was a wealth of knowledge and extremely charismatic. We really enjoyed this method of seeing as much of the city, comfortably, catered to our interests and private over any other tour we found. The time frame was just right for a full immersion of the NYC experience. Plus we had the best truly NY style pizza away from the crowds of tourists! I would highly recommend!
Our private driving tour of Manhattan with Isaac was fantastic. His knowledge of the city is next-level—he seemed to know the story behind absolutely everything. At one point I joked that he probably knew how every crack in the sidewalk got there, and honestly, he probably did. He was also incredibly attentive. Opening our doors, making sure we were comfortable, and making the whole experience feel effortless. We felt completely taken care of the entire time. If you want a tour with someone who truly knows and loves New York, Isaac is your guy.
Our private tour in New York was an amazing experience. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire tour enjoyable from start to finish. They shared great insights about the city’s history, landmarks, and hidden spots that we would have never found on our own. The tour was well organized and personalized to what we wanted to see. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York.
Isaac was our guide and was welcoming and his knowledge of nyc was outstanding! We saw more in 5 hours with him than we would have done in 5 days on our own. Cannot recommend enough a+++++++
We would give this more than 5 stars if we could! We had been to NYC before and wanted to see some sights we had not seen on previous trips. Due to accessibility needs of our family, we felt a driver would enable us to see more than relying on Ubers and taxis and trying to coordinate so much ourselves. We were amazed by our guide, Stephanie. She was knowledgeable, informative, very kind, & patient with our many questions. Stephanie was full of insight into NYC- educating us and story telling as we went. We couldn’t believe how much we saw in 3 hours while never once feeling rushed! At one point, Stephanie noticed people filming our children and immediately politely yet firmly stepped in to protect our kids. This tour & Stephanie were a highlight of our NYC family trip- highly recommend.
We saw so many hidden gems and covered so much history in 5 hours. Isaac was so knowledgeable. We highly recommend.
This tour was very informative. Our tour guide Isaac did such a great job. He took us to everything we wanted and places we never even thought of, but loved. He made a pitstop at Carrie Bradshaw's house and that was so fun and unexpected 😲 we got to go to the famous Joe's Pizza for lunch too. We had ample time for each stop and even when there were streets closed off, Isaac still got around them. The time flew by so quickly. We went over the Brooklyn Bridge and even got a great view point from a spot in Brooklyn of the entire NYC skyline. The car was comfortable with plenty of room for the 6 of us. It was well worth paying for this private tour. A must do in NYC. Thank you Isaac 😊
This 3 hour tour of lower Manhattan was more than I thought it would be. Isaac filled us in on the history behind a lot of areas we visited. He also took us to an amazing pizza place in Tribecca. We were able to customize our tour to our interests. It was well worth it!
Would highly recommended anyone visiting NYC to take this tour with Issac. We were able to see all the places on our preferred list within the 3 hour time frame in luxury ! Issac was a a fantastic tour guide!
Wonderful experience with Isaac and his team. They were amazing from start to finish. Isaac was funny, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. The vehicle was comfortable, stylish, and spotless. He provided water for everyone and thoughtfully assisted guests with getting in and out—especially helpful for the moms in our group who had accessibility needs. He showed us a wide variety of locations, with plenty of opportunities to stretch, explore, and take photos. This five-hour tour was an excellent value and a fantastic way to see the city, whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned NYC regular. I even saw and learned things I hadn’t experienced before. Don’t miss it!
Great value for your money, especially for the 5 hour version. You see so much and the tour is customized to your preferences. The SUV was clean, posh, and comfortable. Isaac was funny and very informative! Went with a friend and our mom's and he treated them so good. I've been coming to NYC for years and saw several things for the first time! I want to visit again and go on his Brooklyn food tour! Don't miss! thank you, ISAAC!🎉
It was great. We didn’t understand when we reached the five hours. Isaac was great guide and host and tried hard everything to be perfect and tailored to our taste.
Our tour guide Nancy, was very energetic, positive, accommodating and knowledgable. I would recommend her to anyone. She was flexible toward our requests and change of venue. Same with our driver Victor. Was very accommodating, and fast to react to changes and traffic. Also safe driving, was specially important because my wife is post surgery.
It was a memorable experience. Isaac had a lots of knowledge about NYC which made our trip memorable.
This was my family's and my first visit to New York City. My tour guide was Jim, and the driver was Juan. We did the 5-hour tour. I recommend this tour for any first-timers to New York City. Jim was knowledgeable about the city and could accommodate all requests, even though there was a threat of a storm on the way. Juan was a professional driver and navigated through the traffic with ease. I highly recommend this tour with these gentlemen. The tour owner, Bill, was professional and easy to communicate with about all concerns. Thank you all. Susan Russell
Great experience! If you ask for, they go off the beaten tracks, which gives you inside experiences of visiting New York. Thanks to our guide Laurie and her great knowledge, as well as to the fantastic driver Frank. Ww had a fantastic time!
Nancy (our tour guide) and Juan (the driver) were amazing. Nancy was so knowledgeable about the city and you could tell she truly loved sharing her hometown with us! Juan navigated the city, road closures and other drivers like a true professional!
It was boring. Definitely not worth the money! The guide was knowledgeable about the city, but the only thing we saw worth seeing was the 911 memorial.
Perfect way to see a little of everything in NYC! Great tour with Jim. Went to the 9/11 memorial and Brooklyn bridge and Dumbo all in 3 hours short and sweet.
Best way to see New York city. You can go where buses can't. Plus, like our great driver Isaac you will learn things about hidden neighborhoods. This is such a pleasant and private ride. You can control the temperature and if you have a specific place you want to see your driver should be able to accommodate you. Isaac was our extremely fantastic driver. He pointed out great areas and we even stopped for a slice of pizza. The SUV was clean and beautiful. Isaac made the tour so comfortable he felt more like a friend or family member. He was great.
Isaac was an excellent driver & tour guide. Highly recommend. We were able to see all the things we wanted and many things we didn’t know about but Isaac knew & shared.
This tour was great and Isaac knew so much about the city and small details you would never think about. I would recommend this tour to people visiting for the first time and even people who come often. Isaac is a really good driver. It's not easy to drive and give a tour at the same time, but i was impressed.
Can’t recommend enough, we had a great tour with excellent guide Isaac who packed in so much in the time we had, really fantastic!
Jim was very knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed our day around the city! Would highly recommend this tour.
Isaac was absolutely phenomenal! He was so patient, didn’t let the atrocious traffic cut in to our experience time, incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, you name it! He made this trip amazing. This was our first time to the city and we were able to see so much and wish we would have done this our first night and would have explored more authentic over touristy places. 5 stars all around!
Issac was great! My mother and I enjoyed our tour and saw a lot in our short time in NYC!! Highly recommend!
EXCELLENT!!!! A 5 for sure. We all had a great time. They were a great team. Nancy felt like a friend by the end. She was a great tour guide. Flexible, informative, kind, and funny. She offered great recommendations. Reon was a great driver. He was able to smoothly get us around quickly, find good spots to park for a short bit and keep us on track. Fabulous start to a hugely anticipated vacation!
The tour was really excellent, we enjoyed the great profesionalism, knowledge and warm comments from Nancy and Isaac pro driving. They made a big difference for us and felt like family. Totally recommended.
