At Family in New York, we specialize in creating personal custom sightseeing tours of the City. Tours in New York based on your unique wishes, needs and desires. We operate on your schedule and at your pace. We don’t waste time traveling to and seeing sights in which you are not interested. On our sightseeing tours, you do not compete with a crowd of tourists to see, hear or ask the guide questions. When you tour with Family, you do not waste time at each sight waiting for the next bus to come.

Our tours of New York include just you, your family, friends or group. We can show you all of the City’s famous attractions. Plus, we can also show you “off the beat path”– the real City. We can take you on streets and into the neighborhoods where buses do not fit or are not allowed to travel.

In addition to our typical tours, we do a lot of airport and cruise ship layover tours for those in the City for just one day. We also do evening tours for those on business or at conventions or conferences during the day. Another type of tour we do that came about because of our personal, custom and caring approach to business is that of our wheelchair accessible tours. We provide special tours and make special arrangements for wheelchair travelers, their families and friends to experience and enjoy the City.

New York can be impersonal, cold and intimidating. We remove that sting by adopting into our family people from all over the world who choose to tour with us.

How much do our sightseeing tours cost? Probably less than you think. After all, we don’t have to pay for a bus.
