New York City Iconic Explorer

New York City rewards visitors at every turn. This five-day tour covers the classic Manhattan landmarks while also venturing into the neighbourhoods that give the city its real character — Brooklyn, the High Line, and the hidden courtyards of the West Village.

Day One: Midtown and the Skyline

After arriving at JFK and transferring to your Midtown hotel, the afternoon begins with a walk to Times Square and a climb to the Top of the Rock observation deck at Rockefeller Center. The city grid stretches in every direction and the Empire State Building punctuates the southern skyline. The evening is free for a Broadway show — your guide can recommend and help with last-minute tickets.

Day Two: Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn

The morning is devoted to Lower Manhattan — the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. On the Brooklyn side you explore DUMBO and have lunch at the waterfront with the Manhattan skyline behind you. The afternoon returns to the High Line, the elevated park built on a former freight railway above the Meatpacking District.

Day Three & Four: Culture, Parks and Boroughs

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park and the American Museum of Natural History fill day three. Day four is devoted to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island in the morning, followed by a food tour through Chelsea Market and Greenwich Village in the afternoon.

Day Five: Departure

A final breakfast with a view in your hotel and a relaxed transfer to JFK. Optional add-ons include a helicopter flight over Manhattan or a Michelin-starred dinner on the final evening.
