City Escapes with Beyond Times Square

Where History, Comfort, and Culture Come Together—And You’re at the Heart of It

Imagine stepping into a luxury vehicle, the cool air a welcome escape from the summer sun, while just outside, American history comes alive on cobblestone streets. Picture sunset cocktails aboard a private yacht in Boston Harbor, or gliding past the Lincoln Memorial as the city lights shimmer off the Potomac. This isn’t a dream, it’s your summer, reimagined by Beyond Times Square.

Boston: Where History Meets Harbor Breezes

Boston’s charm lies in its history, but exploring it shouldn’t feel like a slog through a textbook. Think: luxury vehicle tours where colonial tales come alive through expert narration, then cap it all off with a private yacht cruise across the harbor. Yes, cocktails included. For something a bit livelier, there’s even a historic pub crawl with a costumed guide (because learning is more fun with a craft beer in hand).

Washington DC: Monuments, Museums & Moonlight

DC in summer can be sizzling, but the right approach makes all the difference. Beyond Times Square offers ways to experience the capital with style: curated access to Smithsonian gems, scenic speedboat rides on the Potomac, and night-time bike tours past glowing monuments. It’s a refreshing take on a city that’s often rushed through and it gives you time to actually feel the history.

New York City: Ice Cream, Jazz & Iconic Views

NYC can be overwhelming in July but not when you’re bypassing lines, riding in climate-controlled comfort, and ending your day on a jazz-filled dinner cruise along the Hudson. From private museum tours to sweet-treat scavenger hunts (yes, there’s an ice cream challenge), New York becomes a playground of elevated experiences. It’s not just sightseeing—it’s storytelling.

Charleston: Slow Mornings, Golden Evenings

Summer in Charleston is more relaxed than you’d expect. With fewer crowds and a whole lot of charm, it’s the perfect time to explore by horse-drawn carriage or enjoy a golden sunset over the harbor. Add in ghost walks, private cooking classes, and scenic plantation visits and you’ve got Southern summer magic, done right.

Savannah: Sips, Squares & Spanish Moss

Savannah feels like a city made for summer. Sip a cocktail on a narrated riverboat cruise, ride through the shady squares by pedicab, or dive into the haunted beauty of Bonaventure Cemetery all without rushing, wilting, or waiting in line. This city invites you to slow down and let the stories come to you.

Philadelphia: Founding Fathers Without the Fuss

Yes, it’s hot in Philly during July. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy its revolutionary roots in complete comfort. Private sightseeing tours take you straight to Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and beyond. While air-conditioned detours to the Franklin Institute and the vibrant Magic Gardens keep things cool and colorful.

Why Travelers Are Choosing Thoughtful Over Typical

There’s something refreshing about travel that feels intentional. Where the guides actually know the place, the transportation fits the weather, and your time is respected. Beyond Times Square isn’t about flash, it’s about getting the experience right.

Whether you’re looking to finally visit the Freedom Trail or show your kids Ellis Island the way it should be seen, it’s worth exploring what they offer. Because summer doesn’t have to be exhausting to be remarkable.

Why use a travel advisor?

Planning a summer trip to NYC, DC, Boston, or beyond can be thrilling—but also a bit overwhelming with so many ways to explore each city. That’s where MVT travel advisors come in. With firsthand knowledge of Beyond Times Square’s personalized experiences, insider access to top attractions, and a deep understanding of what makes each destination shine, they’ll help you craft a journey that’s seamless, memorable, and uniquely yours.
