Buenos Aires - Full Day Sightseeing Tour - 7 hours
Meet your local guide at local pier and start with your visit.
Explore some of the most recognizable landmarks in Buenos Aires. Find out about the history and culture of this city, as you take in some of the most significant spots. Start at the most important square in the country: Plaza de Mayo. The country was founded here in 1580, and today the most important governmental buildings are located here including Casa Rosada (Government House), Cabildo (City Hall) and Catedral Metropolitana (Metropolitan Cathedral). Continue through the cobblestoned streets of San Telmo neighbourhood, where the original porteños (Buenos Aires residents) settled in the early days. The next stop is picturesque La Boca, home to Caminito, perhaps the city's most photographed street thanks to its corrugated iron and brightly coloured houses. This block houses one of the few outdoor museums in the world, where artists exhibit work, related to the influence of mainly Italian immigrants who arrived at this port at the end of the 19th century. La Boca is home to the legendary football (soccer giants) Boca Juniors, whose colours of blue and yellow adorn most of the houses and stores in this neighbourhood. Drive towards Palermo, passing through Puerto Madero, a regenerated area where redbrick warehouses have been transformed into trendy restaurants and bars.
Once in the northern area of the city, drive past Palermo Chico with its impressive townhouses, tree-lined boulevards, and parks. Palermo Soho, on the other hand, combines the flavour of an old, working-class neighbourhood with some contemporary details, including ethnic restaurants, design stores and bars. The bohemian atmosphere makes it popular with Argentines as well as foreign visitors, and restaurants cater to all palates. Continue to Recoleta, one of the most elegant and sophisticated districts, visit Nuestra Señora del Pilar Church and Recoleta Cemetery, known for its rich architecture and famous personalities whose mortal remains it treasures.
After the sightseeing you will be transferred back to the pier.

The capital city of Scotland is undoubtedly one of the most dramatically-situated cities in Europe; this setting has had a profound effect on its historical development and today your expert local guide unravels these themes on a half-day sightseeing tour.

From the impressive military installations there are stunning views of the city. The Royal Mile stretches down on from castle through the 'Old Town' of Edinburgh, at the heart of which is St. Giles Cathedral. This fascinating Gothic church is topped by a fine medieval spire in the shape of a crown. At the foot of the Royal Mile is Holyrood Palace, the Queen's Official Residence in Scotland*.

Background
Shanghai was the only city in the world that provided a safe home for World War II refugees without papers. As a result, approximately 32,000 Jews, known among themselves as "Shanghailanders," settled in this fascinating Chinese city. Like the names Schindler, Wallenberg and Sugihara, Shanghai has become synonymous with rescue and refuge during the fascist-dictated times when 6 million Jews perished and at least 35 million Chinese were killed and wounded. At one point, there were at least seven synagogues in Shanghai, but today very little evidence of this once vital community remains.

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.

Where else can you see a castle, a sled dog, Alice in Wonderland, a pair of hawks, and a 4,000-year-old obelisk from Egypt in one place?

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 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
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
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!

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.

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 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.

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
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.

Bank of America Tower: At 1,200 feet, this one is unique as it was built to use 45% less water than buildings similar in size.

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.

• 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.
