2 hour private guided tour of Central Park
No movie set in New York is complete without at least one scene shot in iconic Central Park. On this 2 to 2.5 hour private guided walking tour, you’ll stroll the paths of the world’s most famous urban green space to learn about its many monuments and oftentimes quirky history.  
Born in the 19th century, Central Park was designed to give New Yorkers a breath of fresh air. More than just green space, it’s also a venue for memorials and artwork honoring figures like Bolivar and Marti, as well as Balto and Hans Christen Andersen. As your enthusiastic young guide shares the park’s history, you’ll cross the famous Gapstow Bridge on your way to the Central Park Zoo. You will follow the tree-lined Mall and discuss the literary figures memorialized in statues on either side. You will discover the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, site of countless Hollywood moments. Cross Bow Bridge on your way to Strawberry Fields towards the Dakota to learn about John Lennon’s assassination at his memorial. You’ll discover the resplendent restaurant, Tavern on the Green, before joining the locals in Sheep Meadow, where New Yorkers of all walks of life can get away from city life for a moment.

Skip the Line Empire State Building at night
Everybody love visiting the Empire State Building, one of the nation’s most famous landmarks. Travel right up towards the top of the building and see New York City like never before.

Day 2:
3 hour private architecture tour in New York
In this three-hour architecture tour of New York we’ll join a local architect or historian for a stroll down 42nd Street and through 150 years of Manhattan’s history. We’ll gaze up at the Chrysler Building, step inside the Daily News Building, and explore Grand Central Station. At the end we’ll come away with a better understanding of the way that architecture has shaped (and is still shaping) one of the greatest cities in the world.

Lunch at Grand Central Station
There is a great food hall and of course the famous Oyster Bar serving the best seafood since 1913.

2h30 minutes private guided tour at the MET
Commanding crowds on the same level as the Louvre and British Museum, New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the most important landmarks in the Big Apple. Instead of wandering aimlessly, join an enthusiastic, knowledgeable guide on this 2.5 hour guided museum tour that will open your eyes to the history and works of art housed within the museum’s walls. The best part is that you can skip any lines! Consider a Friday or Saturday evening tour for an even more private feel.

Day 3:
5 hour private guided tour to The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
Icons of American liberty and freedom, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island have long been a mainstay of the New York skyline and its history. Stretching back to the Dutch colonial settlement in the early seventeenth century, Ellis Island became a place known for both heartache and joy, processing over 12 million immigrants to the United States from 1892 to 1954, with Liberty Island standing as a beacon of hope for many of these immigrants. On this Statue of Liberty Tour visiting Ellis Island and Battery Park in the company of an art historian or preservationist, we’ll visit both islands to understand how the American ideal of freedom has changed over the years, and how immigration and cultural exchange have profoundly impacted the entire country.

Rest of the afternoon at leisure to explore Wall Street and World Trade Center
See the Federal Hall built in 1700 as the city hall; it’s where George Washington was inaugurated as the first president of the United States.
You can’t miss the iconic Charging Bull sculpture!
Then head to the historic Trinity Church, go shopping at Century 21 and of course pay a tribute to the fallen victims of 9/11.  The largest man made waterfalls in North America reflecting pools where the Twin Towers once stood are really powerful and will make you think about this tragic event.  The names of everyone who passed in the 2001 and 1993 attacks are engraved around the pools.

Optional Skip-the-line One World Observatory Tickets
Walk 5th  avenue for some window shopping on one of the best shopping streets in the world.
