I'm Maurita, and I'm thrilled to share my love for the vibrant city of New York with you. As a local host, I can tell you that this city never fails to amaze me with its endless possibilities for adventure and excitement. The city's unique energy, a combination of many different cultures coming together to improve their lives, is what sets it apart from other cities and what I love most about it. When I'm not working, you'll likely find me checking out the latest art exhibitions at local galleries, having a picnic in one of the city's many parks or beaches, or exploring the city's rich history on a walking tour. I consider myself an expert in both art and immigration history, and I have a particular affinity for Manhattan's Lower East Side, Chinatown, Little Italy, East, and West Village, as well as Brooklyn's Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and Fort Greene. I would love to take you on a journey through New York's cultural heritage and art scene. With my passion and excitement, I promise to make it a fun and unforgettable experience!

Hi, I’m Ross

I grew up in New Jersey and moved into the city after college. I love New York, and I've been showing visitors around the city on a regular basis since 2003. I think I'm a pretty good storyteller, and that really helps with this job. I also have some more niche passions, in particular board games, Marvel Comics and history. As much as I love the big city, I love to travel, and I enjoy meeting other travellers too. There's always more to learn, and there's always more of New York to show.

Ross was very diligent in ensuring our meeting place and time. He went above and beyond in being sure we saw everything we wanted to see and managed our tour so we ended it near our lunch restaurant. He could not have done better! — Russell N , New York

Timeless Taxi Moments

Hi, I’m Edward

New York
5.0 (17)

My prior work, interests and travel experiences enables me to relate to visitors from various backgrounds. I have had an expansive career as a teacher, a financial product salesman, a health care executive and energy reduction / environmental business salesman. The thread throughout my life has been an involvement in politics on a local, state and national level. Now that I’m semi-retired I do what I enjoy most; spending time with my family and sharing my love of NYC with others. For the last 5 years, as a licensed NYC tour guide, I have been traveling through the city with guests on the seat of a bicycle. I look forward to meeting you.
