Majestic Transportation Services & Limo Inc.
Our NYC night tours are private: a vehicle and a chauffeur for the evening, booked by the hour, with a route you choose. There is no tour bus, no fixed script and no group of strangers. We pick you up at your Manhattan hotel or at home in the Hudson Valley, take you between the places you want to see after dark, and wait while you get out to walk, take photos or have dinner.
The chauffeur handles the traffic; the sightseeing is yours. If you are new to the city, tell us what you would like to see and we will help you put the stops in an order that makes sense for the streets in between.
Midtown lights. The classic version starts in Times Square, moves a few blocks north to Rockefeller Center, then heads a short way south to the Empire State Building, where you can stay at street level or go up to the observatory. These stops sit within Midtown, so most of the evening is spent on foot at the sights rather than in traffic.
Bridges and the skyline from across the water. Some of the best views of Manhattan are from outside it. A route can cross into Brooklyn for DUMBO and the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, with the Brooklyn Bridge and the Lower Manhattan skyline in front of you, then continue to Gantry Plaza State Park in Long Island City, looking back across the East River at Midtown. One variation: get out on the Manhattan side, walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, and be collected on the Brooklyn end.
The West Side. Hudson Yards and the Edge observation deck show the newer side of the skyline, and the route along the Hudson River gives you the lights of New Jersey on one side and Manhattan on the other.
Some of the best NYC night tours combine two of these routes with a dinner reservation in between. If the skyline is the point, start the tour around dusk: the towers light up as the sky darkens, and a stop in Long Island City or DUMBO at that hour lets you see the skyline go from daylight to lit windows.
Parking or standing at the curb is limited at many of the city’s busiest spots. At each stop, you are dropped as close to the entrance as traffic allows, and the vehicle then waits nearby or circles the block. When you are ready, you call or text and it comes back to the agreed pickup point. Set a meeting spot before you get out, especially in Times Square, where one corner looks much like the next.
Because the tour is booked by the hour, every stop is included and you can change the plan as you go. Want one more look at the skyline after the reserved hours are up? We stay, and the added time is charged by the hour for that vehicle.
You can also start at home rather than at a hotel. The trip into the city and back is part of the booked time, so a night tour from Orange, Rockland or Westchester County simply begins with the run in and ends at your door, with nobody needing to drive home late or catch the last train. The same hourly setup covers other evenings in Manhattan, such as a show or a game, through our New York City limo service, while daytime meetings and hotel transfers are handled as point-to-point service around Manhattan.
Visitors flying in can combine the tour with the arrival: a pickup at JFK, luggage dropped at the hotel, and the city at night on the way to dinner.
In December, a night tour can turn into a look at the holiday lights: the Rockefeller Center tree, the decorated store windows on Fifth Avenue and the lights in the neighborhoods, in the city or with holiday lights tours closer to home. Keep the calendar in mind: a tour on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, or on either side of midnight at New Year, carries the holiday surcharge.
Yes. Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge or through a neighborhood and being collected at the other end is easy to arrange. Agree on the meeting point with the chauffeur before you set off.
Yes. Give us the reservation or curtain time, and we will plan the sightseeing around it. The chauffeur waits during dinner, so the tour continues afterward.
The streets around Times Square close to vehicles for the New Year’s Eve celebration, so no vehicle can go through on that night. We can plan an evening of views elsewhere, keeping in mind the holiday surcharge.
No. This is a private car service, not a narrated tour. Bring your own list of sights; the chauffeur can help put the stops in an order that fits the traffic and the pickup points.
Send us the date, your pickup point, the group size and the sights on your list through our night tour quote request, and we will come back with a vehicle that fits your group and an estimate of the hours the route needs. To discuss a route first, our office is at (877) 811-8400.
