I am Travel Agent
Hello, I'm Mei, and I'm a local host in the exciting city of New York! I'm a kind, friendly, open-minded, and creative person with an easygoing spirit. What I love most about New York City is its rich diversity of cultures, arts, and history. I'm always eager to explore and discover new things, and I enjoy dining out, attending shows and theater performances, and participating in various activities. I know Astoria, Queens, DUMBO, Brooklyn, and all the nooks and crannies of Manhattan like the back of my hand. I'm a total expert when it comes to taking you on off-the-beaten-path adventures away from crowded tourist spots. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned New Yorker, I promise to show you the city in a way you've never seen it before! So come join me, and let's make some amazing memories together!

My reviews
-
I greatly enjoyed this service- I gave a four instead of a five only because the host that I had been speaking with was changed on me at the last minute and I was a little uncomfortable with that and was not completely happy with it. However, our new hostess did an excellent job and before our day was over I felt like I had made a new friend. I just did not like the change being made at the last minute.

Great experience with Mei! She personalized our tour with places we wanted to visit and see. Ate in Chinatown at amazing 456. Food was delish and affordable. Rode the ferry and subway. Wouldn’t have know how to without a guide. Highly recommend getting a guide if you want to see New York and have a great experience get yourself a guide!

Our private tour with Mei was a wonderful experience she was so flexible and accommodating - we was able to really see some non touristy areas of Manhattan with her and it was just a great day! She also took us to a street market in China town, purchased a persimmon and allowed us to try it !! she was a joy and I hope to travel with her again in the future:)
