Frequently asked questions:

What do you consider a group?

A group at NYCVP is a party occupying 10 or more hotel rooms

What if we don’t need 10 rooms?

No problem. We can still take care of making all your arrangements in New York. Just contact a NYCVP Vacation Planner at 877 NYC-TRiP or customize your own vacation on the web with our NYC TripQuote Vacation Planner.

Does my group need to do everything together?

We have the flexibility to arrange your group the way you want. If some of the group is interested in a certain show and the rest are interested in another we can do that. In other words if you want the group to be treated as individual travelers we can customize those arrangements for sightseeing, theater and dining.

My group is interested in seeing a certain exhibit but it is not featured on your web site. Can you help?

List any special request that you may have for a museum exhibit, a show, sporting event, sightseeing or dining and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

Can you arrange all our transportation?

Absolutely. If you’d like to travel by air or train we can handle all your arrangements, even if your group is coming from various locations throughout the US and Canada. While you are in New York we can also make all transportation arrangements for your group. We can provide motor coach or limousine transfers to theater, sightseeing and dining venues.
