A‑1 Tours offers intimate, customized tours for small groups of 1-10 guests in New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Boston, and Niagara Falls. All tours can be easily requested and booked online—you simply select your preferred date, time, and pick‑up location in your chosen city. Once your booking is confirmed, we will contact you to gather the details that matter most to you.

This is your opportunity to personalize your experience: share any special requests, interests, accessibility needs, or information about who will be joining the tour. We will then match you with a guide who can bring your ideal tour to life.

We also provide private small‑group tours in other cities across the United States, as well as specialized tours built around unique interests—such as history, architecture, fashion, sports, sustainability, and more.

The main difference is exclusivity:

Private Tour:
The tour is exclusively for your group. No outside guests are included. It’s entirely your experience—you choose the schedule, the focus, and any special inclusions.

Public Tour:
Public tours are open to anyone who books a spot. You’ll be joined by other guests, and the tour follows a set route, schedule, and format.

A private tour offers several valuable advantages, including:

Flexible Start and End Times
You choose what works best for your schedule—morning, afternoon, or evening. Simply let us know your preferred time, and we’ll coordinate availability with our guides.

Customized Itinerary
You have full control over what areas of the city you’d like to explore. If there’s a neighborhood or landmark where you’d like to spend extra time, we’ll tailor the route to your interests.

Special Interests Welcome
Whether you’re passionate about history, food, pop culture, architecture, fashion, or something else, we’ll match you with a guide who can create an exceptional experience based on your interests.

Designed for All Guests
Traveling with children or guests with mobility considerations? We’ll customize the tour to make sure everyone feels comfortable, included, and has a memorable experience.

An A-1 Tours project manager will be with you throughout the planning and booking process to make sure your tour is exactly what you were looking for.

Our most popular private tours for smaller groups take place in New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Niagara Falls.

However, we can also arrange private tours in many other U.S. cities. Just let us know which city you’re visiting, and we’ll be happy to share the options and customize a tour that fits your needs.

Private tours have traditionally been seen as an option for more affluent travelers. At A‑1 Tours, we are committed to making private touring accessible to a wider audience. While a private tour is naturally more expensive than a public tour, we work closely with you to design an experience that offers the best possible value for your budget.

We encourage everyone to inquire about private tours. Our goal is to create a memorable, personalized experience that fits your interests, needs, and comfort—without unnecessary extras or inflated costs.

Our recommended private tours in New York City, Washington, D.C., Boston, and Philadelphia are typically 4 hours, while our Niagara Falls private tour runs for 8 hours.

Because it’s a private tour, you have the flexibility to shorten or extend the duration based on your needs. Please note that extending the tour will incur additional fees.

Our standard private tour package includes:

A private vehicle and professional driver
Your group enjoys a comfortable vehicle reserved exclusively for you.

A dedicated, professional tour guide
Your guide leads the on-site tour, providing insights, stories, and personalized attention.

Custom tour design and coordination
We plan and organize the tour based on your interests, schedule, and preferred pace.

Driver gratuity
The driver’s tip is already included.
We kindly ask that you tip your guide directly at the end of the tour. Gratuities are customary but always at your discretion.

Optional attraction tickets
Since this is a private tour, you can choose to add attraction tickets or upgrades for an additional cost.

Our standard private tours in New York City, Washington, D.C., Boston, Philadelphia, and Niagara Falls can begin at most centrally located hotels or addresses within each city.

With a private tour, you can also request a custom pickup location. Additional fees may apply depending on distance or logistics. Feel free to reach out—we’re happy to advise on the best pickup arrangements for your itinerary.
