Private NYC Experiences

The City, Your Way.

A private chauffeur turns a list of places into a well-paced day. Here are four ways guests like to spend time in and around New York — each a starting point you can shape entirely around your own plans.

01 · Shopping

Madison Avenue to SoHo, Without the Bags

A shopping day in New York usually means two very different neighborhoods: the flagship boutiques of Madison and Fifth Avenues in the 50s through the 70s, and the cobbled streets of SoHo downtown. An hourly chauffeur links them, holds purchases securely in the vehicle, and is waiting when you step out — no hailing on a crowded corner with full hands.

The shape of the day

  1. 1.Morning on Madison Avenue
  2. 2.Lunch at a reservation you’ve made
  3. 3.Afternoon in SoHo and Nolita
  4. 4.Hotel drop-off before dinner

02 · Culture

A Museum Morning, Unhurried

The Met, the Guggenheim and the Neue Galerie sit along Fifth Avenue’s Museum Mile, with The Frick Collection a few blocks south and MoMA in Midtown. Check opening days in advance — several museums close one weekday — and let your chauffeur handle the moves between them, so energy goes to the galleries rather than the sidewalks.

The shape of the day

  1. 1.Arrive at opening, before the crowds
  2. 2.A second museum after lunch
  3. 3.A quiet drive through the park transverse
  4. 4.Evening at leisure

03 · Evenings

Dinner, a Show and the Long Way Home

Theater district curbside traffic before an 8 p.m. curtain is some of the heaviest in the city. Being dropped at the door — and collected when the crowds spill out — removes the most stressful part of a Broadway evening. Add dinner before, a nightcap after, and a route back past the lit skyline.

The shape of the day

  1. 1.Pickup at your hotel
  2. 2.Pre-theater dinner
  3. 3.Drop-off at the theater
  4. 4.Collection after the curtain call

04 · Beyond the City

A Day in the Country

Within a couple of hours’ drive are the art and landscapes of the Hudson Valley, the vineyards of Long Island’s North Fork and the beaches of the Hamptons. A chauffeured day trip means no rental car, no navigation and no designated driver after a vineyard lunch.

The shape of the day

  1. 1.Morning departure from Manhattan
  2. 2.Gallery, garden or vineyard visits
  3. 3.Long lunch
  4. 4.Return at sunset

FAQ

Questions, Answered

Is the chauffeur also a tour guide?

No. Our chauffeurs are professional drivers who know the city well, but they are not licensed tour guides. If you’d like a guided experience, you can bring your own guide along and we’ll plan the driving around them.

Can you book restaurants, museums or theater tickets?

We don’t sell tickets or make reservations on your behalf. Share the reservations you’ve made and we’ll shape the timing and route of your day around them.

How long should a private city day be?

It depends on your plans. Many guests find a half-day suits a single neighborhood, while a full day allows two or three areas. Minimum booking periods are confirmed in your quote.

Can the itinerary change during the day?

Hourly arrangements are designed for flexibility. Changes within your booked time are usually straightforward; your chauffeur will let you know if a change affects timing.
