Curated Itineraries for Every Budget

Our signature service delivers a fully personalized, day-by-day plan built entirely around your energy level, culinary preferences, and curiosity. By tapping into our lifelong local knowledge, you get to experience the rich cultural tapestry of New York’s neighborhoods with clarity and ease

  • You receive a detailed plan for as much or as little of your trip as you like, along with digital references and guides created just for your trip, helping you understand the neighborhoods, attractions, and routes before you arrive

  • Just like the subway schedule on the weekend, New York can be unpredictable.

    Every itinerary we create comes with carefully curated alternatives to ensure that no matter what the day brings, you’ll always make the most of it

  • The tourism industry in New York is designed to extract money from you and, because it is generally more expensive here, most visitors just accept it.

    The truth is, most visitors end up spending way more than they need to, waiting in longer lines, and having at least one “subway story”

    Once you’re onboard with us, you have access to our local expertise leading up to, and all throughout, your trip. We’ll help you navigate the city with ease and be there for whatever questions happen to arise.

  • This is where we live and work. Our team has decades of experience planning trips and experiences across the five boroughs and beyond.

    All of our clients receive access to daytime support for incidental questions or any issues with their itinerary.

    If you’ve never been here before, or just prefer the extra help, we provide a special add-on to any itinerary for your advisor to meet with you and your party once you’ve arrived to help you get oriented and familiar with the area around your accomodations

  • Intentionally crafted itineraries blend iconic sights and landmarks with local gems and quieter neighborhood attractions to help avoid travel fatigue and minimize the time your spend in transit, so you can spend more time enjoying your trip.

  • All itineraries include a complimentary three hour guided experience during their stay, for those who would like to add something unique to their itinerary without the anxiety of planning the details.

    Whether it’s exploring the hidden gems you won’t find on any tourism brochures or discovering the deep and vast history of our City, any of our clients can add a uniquely personal NYC experience at no added charge.

A romantic date night set in iconic New York neighborhoods. Forget the spots you have to share with hundreds of other people, being rushed the whole time. We’ll create a magical experience including reservations at those “impossible” to book tables, weather-appropriate activities that reflect you and your partner’s bond, drinks at the city’s best kept secret bars, and handle all the travel and transfers for you.

Best Playdate Ever!

Keeping kids entertained in the City can be a challenge. Trust us, we’re raising ours here. We’ll arrange an outing or an entire day focused on your little ones.

Touching Grass

Taking a break from the concrete jungle for awhile can uncover some of the area’s best-kept secrets. From scenic hikes less than an hour from your hotel’s front door to the city’s best beaches and parks, winery tours, stunning bike rides, and the area’s most relaxing and indulgent spas. We’ll design the ultimate day of either relaxation or exploration that’s built exclusively for you.

The Real Little Italy

We’re sorry if we’re the ones who need to inform you that sadly, most of the restaurants in Little Italy aren’t even owned by Italians anymore and most of the shops are carbon copy tourist traps. Come experience the neighborhoods where you can still hear Italian spoken, discover authentic markets and trattorias, and one of a kind shops you won’t find anywhere else while you learn about the real story of how Italian immigrants helped shape and build New York into the city it is today.

Photo Diary Scavenger Hunt

For those passionate about photography, or just looking for the coolest content for their socials, embark on a curated scavenger hunt centered on New York’s most scenic and iconic opportunities to take in stunning views and opportunities to pose. We’ll plan an excursion that blends the best spots to get the best views while avoiding the crowds, with quirky and fun assignments that match your party’s interests. Rest stops and curated recommendations for libations and shopping along the way included.

Local Expertise On-Demand

Personalized to You

Let’s be honest, New York invented the hustle, and then turned it into a way of life. The thing is, most of the well-known tourist areas are in places where relatively few locals actually live. That means most visitors spend their time in places purpose-built to hustle them out of their time and money in a way that even New Yorkers consider excessive.

These crowded, impersonal, over-priced experiences often add more stress than enjoyment. We’ll help you see the sights like a local would, with an itinerary that reflects your unique vibe and stops you from getting ripped off.

Here for the Unexpected

Even locals occasionally forget to check for weekend subway changes or street closures, and anyone who’s lived here can tell you New York has a sort of weather that’s truly its own.

Don’t let the unexpected throw you off course or waste your money. All of our clients receive complimentary text/phone support (8a-10p) during their stay, giving you and your party on-demand access to local expertise, advice, navigation, and recommendations.

Additionally, all of our itineraries are curated to ensure they provide flexible alternatives for whatever the day holds, ensuring you never waste a day.

And the Extra Mile

We get it, this is a big place and, it can be intimidating, especially if you’ve never been here before. There’s also so much history and culture to learn about and explore.

All clients of Gotham Premier can schedule a complimentary three-hour guided experience, tour, or exploration catered to their interests.

From learning about NYC’s oldest landmarks and establishments, its contributions to the world, or the histories of all the peoples who have called it their home, a member of our team will help make sure you get the most out of your experience!
