Westminster Dog Show Delights
February 9 - 13, 2013


BOOK 2013 ONLINE NOW!

View our GREAT Westminster Photos!

Thank you for your interest in our exciting package to the world-renowned Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. With our travel package you receive the benefits of a completely organized and well-planned visit to an exciting, but complex city, including special visits unavailable to the general public.

There are big changes in store for the 2013 dog show including separate venues for daytime and nighttime viewing, judging and award presentations. Let Huron Tours & Travel’s planning and expertise allow you to attend the show with worry-free ease. You will be the envy of all those who try to navigate the changes on their own.

You will have multiple Tour Escorts for your entire stay and receive special group discounts we negotiated from the hotels, bus companies and other vendors. You know what you are getting up-front and everything that’s included, all for one low price.

The best part of Westminster, you can’t see on TV! Go behind the scenes in the benching area!

And perhaps best of all, one call does it all! I know you will leave New York with wonderful memories of this world-class show, this world-class city, and join the ranks of thousands of other satisfied Huron Tours and Travel customers!

Arrival in New York and Welcome Reception

~ Depart from your hometown for New York City. Manage your own transportation, or let us assist you in arranging air tickets and airport/hotel transfers. Upon arrival in New York, check into our great hotel: The 4-star New Yorker which is located just one block from the evening dog show activities, has two great on-site restaurants, and is where many of the show dogs stay! This is a great location offering lots of pre and post dog show interaction.

After you’re settled in, enjoy the sights of the city as you choose… select from the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, explore Greenwich Village or the art galleries in SoHo, shop Fifth Avenue, enjoy fabulous Central Park, hit the museums – this city has something for everyone and the professionals at Huron Tours will assist with your New York City plans.

This evening join your fellow Huron Tours travelers for our included welcome reception. This event is a wonderful chance to mingle and enjoy some good company complete with hors d'oeuvres and drinks. Afterward, the evening will be free to explore the city, have a light dinner, or catch a Broadway show.

Exclusive Private City Tour and Lunch at Katz's Deli

~ Today is a special day organized just for Huron Tours' travelers! We’ll start with a city tour on our private, deluxe motorcoach to see some of the best highlights of New York. During our morning guided city tour you’ll see Wall Street, the Twin Towers site, Battery Park, Greenwich Village, Chinatown, Little Italy, Fifth Avenue, Times Square, The Empire State Building, Central Park, and lots more! Before we end our day you’ll enjoy lunch in our favorite New York deli, Katz’s Delicatessen, made famous by the “I’ll have what she’s having” scene from When Harry Met Sally. This is a special catered event in the deli - something many New Yorkers would gladly give an arm for (and when you see the lines you get to SKIP, you'll understand why).

We’ll finish our tour in Times Square just in time for the matinée Broadway performances. We can purchase excellent advance tickets for you for Wicked, Mamma Mia, The Jersey Boys, Billy Elliott or any others you may be interested in. Please call early to review availability and prices. (included Lunch)

Monday and Tuesday, February 11 and 12 -

Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show Attendance

~ Both Monday and Tuesday are Westminster Show days! Although this year’s activities will take place at two separate locations, Piers 92/94 and Madison Square Garden, we’ve made transferring easy with our all day private shuttle service. You can see the dogs compete at the Piers during the morning and afternoon and then be transferred back to your hotel at any time you wish. For the evening sessions we’ll escort you over to Madison Square Garden to catch all the action. Because we have been working with the Westminster Kennel Club for so many years, we are able to provide you with excellent seats for all the showings, including the nationally televised Best in Show on Tuesday evening.

Westminster is just as good as you expect it to be and better! It is a dog-lovers paradise as you can meet the dogs and handlers in the benching area, watch all the dogs being groomed and shop in the huge marketplace. The different venue for judging during the day means a larger entry limit and even more dogs for 2013! You’ll feel the excitement as more than 3,200 winners compete and the 28 Best of Breeds are selected, whittled down to the 7 Best in Group and then finally only the top dog remains! What a treat to see it all in person.

Included with your package is the official Westminster Program to follow all the competition as well as dog breeder and handler details
