New York City is not a checklist. For discerning families, it’s a canvas. And luxury family travel in NYC isn’t about just having fun—it’s about creating shared stories your children will remember when they lead families of their own.


As Oscar Wilde once said, “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” In a city of 8 million, live differently.


VIP NYC Transfers invites you to experience a redefined version of New York—exclusive, elegant, and elevated for the family that expects more.

Helicopter Tours for the Whole Family


Start your day above the skyline. Fly over Manhattan in a climate-controlled, whisper-quiet helicopter. Our partners narrate the experience for children and adults alike, with custom storytelling from a licensed NYC guide.


Need something bespoke? Add a Central Park hover moment, mid-air birthday wishes, or end with a Hudson River sunset dip.


Why it’s exclusive: No crowds, no lines. Just your family, the sky, and the freedom to view New York from a vantage point few ever see.


After-Hours at the Museum


When the lights go down, doors open for you. Explore the American Museum of Natural History in silence and awe, guided by a senior curator.


Hold rare fossils. Stargaze in a private Planetarium session. Request a dinosaur-focused itinerary or go galactic. You choose the tempo.


Added touch: Children receive custom explorer kits, including notebooks, sketchpads, and telescope lenses.


Michelin Stars for Mini Gourmands


Why should world-class cuisine be adults-only? Join a renowned chef for a private family class. Learn to roll handmade pasta, garnish like a pro, or plate a three-course meal together.


Cap the evening with a white-tablecloth dinner—prepared and served by you.


Luxury enhancement: Personal sommelier pairing for the adults, kid-friendly wine alternatives served in crystal stemware.


The Met, But Make It Yours


Art isn’t a passive activity—it’s an interaction. At The Met, you’ll be met by your family’s private artist-in-residence. After exploring galleries, you’ll enter a private studio to paint, draw, or sculpt together.


Pro insight: We match your family with artists based on your interests—abstract, classical, or modern.


Central Park Elegance

Forget the sandwich and soda picnic. Imagine a shaded corner of Central Park reserved just for your family. Gourmet food, butler service, plush seating, live music—even child entertainers, if you wish.


Perfect for: Birthdays, anniversaries, or simply a day of pause between city adventures.


FAO Schwarz, Reinvented

Private access to the most iconic toy store in America? Yes. With a toy concierge? Absolutely.

Design a plush toy, test new board games in a private suite, or dance on the giant piano without interruption.


Signature moment: Your family name engraved on a limited-edition keepsake toy.


Historic NYC, Step by Step


Roam through the cobblestone streets of the West Village, the immigrant history of the Lower East Side, or the grandeur of Harlem.


Each tour is led by a certified historian who knows how to keep both kids and adults entertained.

Customization: Themed tours available (e.g., Revolutionary NYC, NYC during the Jazz Age, Women Who Changed NYC).


Broadway, Backstage


More than a show—it’s a memory. VIP access includes premium seats, backstage tour, and a post-show meet-and-greet with lead cast members.


For aspiring actors: Add a 1-hour acting workshop in a real Broadway rehearsal studio.


A Day in the Life: Sample Luxury Itinerary


To truly envision what a luxury family day in NYC could look like, here’s a sample itinerary curated by our team:


  • Morning: Chauffeured pickup in a luxury SUV, followed by a private helicopter ride over Manhattan. Midday: Private museum tour at AMNH and a bespoke family lunch at a rooftop restaurant overlooking Central Park.

  • Afternoon: Interactive art workshop at The Met, followed by a VIP toy design session at FAO Schwarz.

  • Evening: Butler-served sunset picnic with string quartet, capped off with a Broadway show and cast meet-and-greet.
