Days:
Everything about The Big Apple is enormous, from the towering skyscrapers to the Statue of Liberty and the neon billboards of Times Square. New York City is the most populous city in the United States, attracting a diverse melting pot of people from around the world. The city offers world-class museums, cultural hot spots, endless entertainment and several of the tallest buildings in the world, including the Empire State Building. No matter what you’re interested in, you’ll find it here: Broadway and the arts, business and finance, architecture, sports, and of course, shopping and great restaurants! When it’s time to slow down, New York City also offers Central Park, an 843-acre urban oasis and the first urban landscaped park in America.

New York City has a humid subtropical climate. The city enjoys an average of 234 sunshine days annually, but can suffer through severe, snowy winters.

Smithsonian Student Travel offers two tour-pricing options to best fit your group's needs:

  • Private tour
    Private tours are the best option for class trips and groups of 20 or more. A private tour allows your group to travel on your own private bus with a dedicated tour director. This option provides itinerary flexibility and gives your group more freedom to customize your tour. Any group with 35 paying participants or more is automatically considered a private group.
  • Consolidated tour
    Consolidated tours allow small groups to be combined with other groups, assuring that your class trip is affordable for everyone. Consolidated groups travel together, sharing a bus and a tour director. The program fee for this option is the same regardless of the number of paying participants on the tour.




Please note that this quote will provide pricing for a consolidated tour of any group size or a private tour with 35 paying participants. To obtain pricing for a private group of a different size, please contact us at 1-800-503-2323.
