FREE EXTRAS that we know you’ll enjoy. Our FREE EXTRAS are
admissions to the most popular attractions and museums in the City,
lots of discounts, special tips on enjoying the Big Apple,
professional travel planning assistance by New York City experts and
the security of having an NYCVP
manager available to you 24/7.

NYCVP has
a hotel accommodations to suit every taste. Most, like the
Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers, are in midtown Manhattan
so you can walk to theaters, restaurants -- and to must-see
sites like Rockefeller Center, Times Square and Fifth
Avenue. We even offer lower-cost alternative accommodations
in New Jersey and Lower Manhattan.
NYCVP
accommodations are selected specifically for vacation
travelers. All hotels have private facilities and are rated
3-star and better. Most importantly, rest assured. We don't
sell hotels we wouldn't stay in ourselves! |
|
|
|
|
As you can well imagine, hotel taxes in New York
City can be rather steep. Local and state tax on accommodations
is 13.375% plus a bed tax of between $2 and $6 per night and
another tax of $1.50 per unit. Some hotels may even add
additional surcharges for various reasons. When comparing
prices, it's very important to know whether all taxes and
surcharges are included in the price. When you receive a price
from
NYCVP you are assured that ALL TAXES are
included. |

New York City Vacation
Packages
is
the only major independent tour company devoted exclusively to New
York City.
We provide
accommodations, theatre and event tickets, sightseeing options,
walking tours, dining and transportation. We do everything for you
and leave you nothing to do but enjoy the Big Apple. We’ll even give
you information and recommendations so you can experience New York
like a native New Yorker!
So if you’re
planning a trip to New York City,
you’ve found the right place. But we know you still may have some
questions about our product, our service and us. We’ll answer them
for you before you even ask. We’re mind readers too.
WHY SHOULD I BUY A
PACKAGE?
Don’t take our word for it. Listen to what a renowned travel
writer says in Frommer’s New York City guide book:
“A terrific source specifically
for Big Apple packages is NEW YORK CITY VACATION PACKAGES, which can
sell you a complete vacation package, including hotel stay, theater
tickets, and more – usually for significantly less than you can do
by booking everything on your own. What’s more,
NYCVP can often
build a package that includes otherwise sold-out tickets to Broadway
shows like THE LION KING and sporting events; they’ll even book
airport transportation and dining reservations for you, if you
wish.”
WHAT IF I CAN GET
A HOTEL ROOM ELSEWHERE, CAN I STILL GET YOUR FREE INCLUSIONS?
Chances are if you think you found a hotel for a lower price
than we offer, you may be misled. Our package prices INCLUDE ALL
TAXES (which are quite steep in the City That Never Sleeps) and all
the free features outlined above. Plus, when you book with
NYCVP
we
can arrange all the sightseeing, dining, theatre and event options
that you want.
If you still want to book your hotel room elsewhere, we can’t stop you. But we can’t send you all the
free stuff, or help you with everything else you’ll want to do.
Sorry. Our boss won’t let us.
WHAT DAYS CAN I ARRIVE IN NEW YORK?
WHEN DO YOUR TOURS DEPART? HOW LONG CAN I STAY?
Wait, wait! One
question at a time.
Our packages
are extremely flexible so you can travel at any time, stay as long
as you want (with a few minor exceptions) and arrive on any day. We require
just a 2-night minimum stay, but you're welcome to stay as long as
you'd like. In fact, we predict you'll like New York City so much
you'll never want to leave!
DO I HAVE TO BUY A
BROADWAY SHOW OR SOME SIGHTSEEING TOUR?
No. All you
have to purchase through us is hotel accommodations. The FREE EXTRAS
are just that … FREE. If you want to purchase tickets to a Broadway
show, no problem. If you want to purchase a sightseeing tour or a
dinner, no problem. If you don’t want anything except
accommodations, no problem.
WHO ARE YOU REALLY, AND HOW DO I KNOW
I’M GIVING MY MONEY TO A LEGITIMATE COMPANY?
Very good questions. We are owned
by our parent company, Tenenbaums Vacation Stores Inc., who has been
in the business of providing leisure travel vacations since 1983.
They are bonded under the rules of the Airline Reporting Corporation
(ARC).
We are members in good
standing of New York City’s convention and visitor’s bureau, NYC &
Co., as well as the Better Business Bureau of
Northeast and Central PA. We are also members of the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA), the
