    MATT LEVY IS THE BEST

    Matt was absolutely brilliant. One of the best guides I've ever encountered. We were a group of 9 of differing ages and he quickly read the group's mobility. His local knowledge meant we were able to navigate our way around the crowds to some areas of hidden NY. His communication was excellent, and easy company and humour made it a real joy to work with him. Don't waste time looking elsewhere, Matt Levy is the very best. Thank you Matt.

    Katherine (The Great) with awesome Arkady delivers our best ever tour of any city ever. It was that good.

    For our last night in NYC for our once in a lifetime trip i asked the concierge team at The Pierre, where we were staying, to arrange a bespoke tour of the city taking in lights, sights and some hidden gems. We met Katherine, our guide, in the lobby and her enthusiasm for the evening was infectious. She had put considerable thought into making it special and worked really well with the driver, Arkady, of Da Vinci Limos (see separate review for this top man) making sure we were able to navigate the city in the car (Escalade) and also on foot seeing everything possible. The pace was fast but hey this is NYC and we were keen to see as much as we could. We started at our hotel, went up 5TH avenue taking in the Christmas shop windows and then seeing the tree at the Rockefeller Centre. We also saw amongst others St Patricks Cathedral, the Library, Grand Central, the High Line, Chelsea Market and finished around Hudson Yards. Catherine talked as she walked and had pictures on her IPAD that made it come to life from the past to the present. She innovated well and thought on her feet. At the end she recommended a great Pizza restaurant Simo) near to where we ended and that was excellent. At the end we were buzzing and all agreed we wanted to return to see and hear more. The tour was personal and it felt like we were given a window into NYC from someone who not only knows the city intimately but also clearly loves it. Yep, we as a family are hooked. If you go to NYC then look at Levy’s for that bespoke unique experience. Thanks Katherine, Matt, Arkady, Abraham and our concierge Team at the Pierre and everyone involved in making this the best experience ever.

    Response from the operator: WOW!!! Thanks Andrew for the over-the-top glowing review. We sure are proud of our tour guides and this proves that we arent the only ones. Cheers to you! Matt Levy The Levys' Unique New York!

    Private NYC Highlights by Chauffeured Escalade: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.

    How much does Private NYC Highlights by Chauffeured Escalade cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,067 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private NYC Highlights by Chauffeured Escalade take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.

    Is Private NYC Highlights by Chauffeured Escalade worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private NYC Highlights by Chauffeured Escalade?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private NYC Highlights by Chauffeured Escalade suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private NYC Highlights by Chauffeured Escalade?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private NYC Highlights by Chauffeured Escalade start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in New York?

    +

    New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown Walking Tour in New York. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit New York?

    +

    September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in New York?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private NYC Highlights by Chauffeured Escalade?

    +

    Included: Roomy chauffeured Escalade; Driver; Private Tour; Driver gratuity; and Friendly and Informative guide. Not included: Guide Gratuities (recommended). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private NYC Highlights by Chauffeured Escalade include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 528 listed pickup locations in and around New York. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private NYC Highlights by Chauffeured Escalade offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private NYC Highlights by Chauffeured Escalade?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Private NYC Highlights by Chauffeured Escalade wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Specialized infant seats are available; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
