We wanted an overview of NYC to get our bearings since we'd never been here before. Ross was prompt, polite, and informative. A great way to start our trip. He got us comfortable on the subway and took us all over, and saw what we were wanting. I highly recommend Ross and this endeavor.

Maurita of City unscripted showed us New York south of 23rd West street. She has been an excellent guide, very knowledgable of the local areas, Wall Street area, China Town, little Italy, Brooklyn Bridge, Greenwich, West Village. We truly enjoyed her company and historic knowledge. Highly recommended.

Would like to say what a fantastic time we had with Mei she was brilliant. Really felt like we were meeting up with a old friend and the information she gave us was great. Would highly recommend her we even braved the subway the following day on her advice as the quickest way to get around thanks Mei for a wonderful day

What you’ll do

You’ll go on a whirlwind tour of New York’s top sights and landmark venues in Manhattan, the city’s iconic borough, which has given NY its reputation as the city that never sleeps. Between the dizzyingly tall skyscrapers and historic brownstone mansions, your host will help you make the most of the day and show you 20 of New York’s most unmissable attractions, from Central Park to Times Square, the Met to the High Line.

But more than that, they’ll share with you a slice of what makes the city so addictive and reveal a few secret spots that only a local would know about, from a bar buried deep in the vaults beneath Wall Street to where you can catch that all-important sunset together, from an angle you never knew existed.
