Building Your New York City Itinerary

Without a local guide to help you plan your itinerary, you may find NYC to be an overwhelming destination. Once you touch down at JFK or LaGuardia, it’s important to have a plan for exactly where you will go and when to make the most of your time in the Big Apple.

To help you decide which activities and sights to add to your itinerary, our team has compiled a guide of the top destinations by category. We hope this guide will inspire you to plan an unforgettable trip for your fellow group members!

Art Museums

With its famous museums and world-renowned galleries, New York City is a mecca for art lovers. Art museums like MoMA and the Guggenheim Museum make for excellent group outings because you can take guided tours together or meander through the facilities at your leisure in smaller groups. When you book your charter bus reservation, allow for at least two to three hours between pick-ups and drop-offs at each museum so you have plenty of time to explore.

Accommodations

New York City is overflowing with hotels, but finding the right one for your group can be a hassle. Below, we’ve listed some of the most popular places to stay to help you narrow your list.

While some hotels offer complimentary shuttles to and from the airport, they are not private and only travel between set locations. Book a private charter bus that runs on your group’s schedule, keeps everyone together, and has enough room for your luggage and belongings. This will allow you to zip through the city on your own time without having to rent multiple private cars or wait for taxis.
