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: 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: 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.

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!

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.

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.

Focusing on the area around Stortorget (the town square) and lively Lilla Torget (the little square) Malmö's Old Town is a gorgeous warren of cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses.
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.

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).

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.

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.

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: 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: Private Bagel Making, Cragel and Donut Deluxe NYC Food Tour - 4 Hours
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: 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.

Your journey begins when you’re picked up in a luxury vehicle for the ride to Battery Park. Once there your private, licensed tour guide will escort you onto the ferry to Lady Liberty, while offering commentary along the way. Upon arrival, your guide will tour Liberty Island with you and then leave you to explore the Statue of Liberty Museum at your leisure. From there you'll re-board the ferry to Ellis Island, where your history lesson begins with an introduction from your guide and continues as you enter the historical National Museum of Immigration. Upon completion of your time at Ellis Island your guide will escort you to the ferry back to Battery Park where your luxury transfer awaits for the journey back to your hotel or drop-off point of your choice.
There is no better way to take it all in than in the hands of an expert!

• Upon arrival you’ll be escorted through check-in and security in order to board the public ferry ride to Liberty Island which takes approximately 15 minutes.

Here you’ll walk through the Great Hall as twelve million people once did, who just so happen to be the ancestors of more than half of the US population. Audio tours are included here as well. While there, you’ll also have the chance to search for your family surname on the American Immigrant Wall of Honor.

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: 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.
