Quick Details
A private tour with WeVenture NYC is always a completely custom itinerary, created just for you and your group! A private city walking tour of New York City can be from 2 hours – 8 hours, depending on the destination. While many visitors to New York have specific sites they would like to see, many are happy to let our team create a custom itinerary that fits their interests, budget, mobility, and timeline. Typically, tours spend most of their time in and around the five boroughs of New York City, but we welcome any ideas for your dream tour.
No two groups are alike and we will plan a trip tailored to your group’s interests, budget, and needs. Below are some sample itineraries to use as inspiration for your perfect tour:
Highlights Tour:
New York City’s Central Park is known around the world from being one of the most filmed locations in the world, but you’ll be impressed when you take a private highlights (2-3 hours) tour and learn its fascinating history and far-reaching cultural influence around the globe.
Your Highlights tour may focus in on the southern section of the park, where we’ll discover several movie sites from the 1950s to the present. While you take in the carefully landscaped grounds, you’ll spot iconic Central Park landmarks, including the Bethesda Fountain, The Imagine Memorial, and the ever-popular Alice in Wonderland sculpture.
Half-Day Tour:
Consider a 4-6–hour experience to enjoy a leisurely walk through the park as your guide points out its flora and fauna. We’ll have a chance to stop at a few lakes known for being a prime spot for wedding photos and where your guide can act as your photographer.
Part of your half-day tour can include admission to the American Museum of Natural History. This institution is one of the best natural history museums in the world, containing millions of specimens of plants, animals, fossils, rocks, and human artifacts.
Your guide can navigate you to the various halls depending on your interests – from the Hall of Birds of the World to everyone’s favorite, the dinosaur exhibit – or feel free to wander and learn on your own.
Full-Day Tour:
If you choose to spend your whole day (up to 8 hours) with us, we’ll be happy to dive deeper into Central Park and its vast collection of sculptures, landmarks, and mysteries, and maximize our time in two of NYC’s eminent museums, including the aforementioned American Museum of Natural History as well as The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
As the largest art museum in the country, you’ll want to see as much as you can of the institution’s impressive collection of over two million works.
Your guide can help you discover the true gems of the American Wing, displaying American art from the 18th through the early 20th century, and incredible pieces by impressionist artists.
You’ll be free to explore the world and its history through art on your own or opt to have your guide with you the whole time. Either way, you still may want to stay long after your tour is finished!
