Suggested itinerary

The journey, day by day

Day 1

Departure to New York · The East Coast journey begins

International flight departure from Spain bound for New York. On arrival, personalised assistance at the airport and private transfer to the hotel. The first contact with Manhattan always has something cinematic about it: the lights, the bridges, the avenues and that sense of stepping into a city that is already part of the collective imagination.

Day 2

Essential Manhattan · Central Park, Fifth Avenue and Broadway

Today your private immersion in New York begins. The day covers some of the great icons of Midtown and Upper Manhattan: Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center, St Patrick's Cathedral, Bryant Park and Grand Central Terminal, one of the world's most elegant stations. Afterwards, a private walk through Central Park, understood not only as a park but as a great emotional stage of the city.

Day 3

Downtown New York · Wall Street, Ground Zero and helicopter over Manhattan

The day is dedicated to historic and financial New York. Accompanied by a private guide, you will explore Wall Street, the Stock Exchange, Federal Hall, Trinity Church and the corners where much of the country's economic and political history was born.

Day 4

Private Brooklyn · DUMBO, Williamsburg and skyline lunch

Today you will cross the East River to discover Brooklyn, one of the most creative and vibrant sides of New York. The private visit begins in DUMBO, among cobbled streets, former industrial warehouses, galleries, design cafés and one of the most iconic views of the Manhattan Bridge.

Day 5

Museums and the Upper East Side · Art, natural history and urban elegance

A day dedicated to New York's cultural side. The experience can focus on the American Museum of Natural History, one of the world's most fascinating museums for understanding nature, science and the history of the planet, or be combined with the Metropolitan Museum of Art for those who prefer classical art and ancient civilisations.

Day 6

Harlem, contrasts and a night of jazz

The morning heads north of Manhattan to discover Harlem, a neighbourhood essential for understanding African-American history, gospel, jazz and New York's cultural identity. The experience is arranged with a private guide, offering a respectful and contextualised view of its evolution, its brownstone architecture and its role in music and literature.

New York · Boston by Acela train · The elegance of New England

Private transfer to Penn Station or Moynihan Train Hall to take the premium Acela train towards Boston. Travelling by train brings a very elegant rhythm to the route, crossing the north-east corridor without airports or unnecessary waits. On arrival, private transfer to the hotel.

Day 8

Historic Boston · Freedom Trail, Beacon Hill and Back Bay

Today you will discover Boston with a private guide. The day follows the Freedom Trail, the narrative thread of the United States' founding history, connecting churches, plazas, historic cemetreies, colonial buildings and key sites of the American Revolution.

Day 9

Harvard, Cambridge and Boston from the water

The day crosses the Charles River to explore Cambridge, home to Harvard and MIT. The private visit to Harvard allows you to get close to one of the world's most prestigious universities, walking through courtyards, libraries, historic buildings and corners that have shaped American intellectual life. Afterwards, time to enjoy Cambridge unhurriedly, among bookshops, cafés and a university atmosphere.
