Experience New York
Beyond the Guidebooks

Maurita was an amazing tour guide for our family. She personalized it, had amazing knowledge and we had a great time!

Maurita was a wonderful tour guide! We greatly appreciate her giving her day to us and battle the heat to show us as much as we wanted.

Great walking tour with Maurita, she was very knowledgable and took me to some very interesting sights in New York. The tour was tailored based on what I wanted to see and do. A really enjoyable afternoon. I would recommend Maurita and definitely book her again for another tour.

We had a great walking tour with Maurita on the afternoon of the day we arrived. It was a great way to familiarise ourselves with the city and have the opportunity to ask a local for any tips or advice we needed. Maurita contacted us before the tour and asked if we had any specific requests or interests and was flexible on the day. Would highly recommend it.

This tour was such a treat. We did the four hour tour with Olga. It was worth every penny. Olga was a kind, intelligent person. She made sure we were engaged and having fun. I will certainly be booking another of her tours in the future. The best thing about this tour, outside of Olga, was how exclusive it felt. We passed dozens of group tours, and you could tell they were limited in what they could do because of the size of the groups. We were able to move in and out of smaller spaces to see some off the beaten path stuff. It felt like we had a “friend” in New York, showing us around.

We were lucky enough to get Olga as our tour guide. She was such a pleasure to spend time with. She is extremely knowledgeable & so interesting. We visited so many different & beautiful little places that a normal unaccompanied tourist wouldn’t have seen. Her knowledge & the history of the places we visited was outstanding. We covered so much. Even now after arriving back at hotel she’s sending me so much helpful information for places we mentioned we’d like to visit. Olga is an absolute gem. Thank you

The locations we choose

Olga was amazing! She customized the tour to exactly+more than what we’d hoped for. She had such passion in her details of history and local art, plus knowledge of current hot spots, etc. she followed up with so many good links and details that give us more than we could have hoped for.

A full immersion into New York gems. Mei helped me understanding different aspects of NY by visiting Brooklyn, Dumbo, Chelsea and and by taking the ferry, bus and subway.

Great experience to have a guide help us navigate the city and get in the sights. Our guide Mei was great, patient and we had a great time!

Mei was excellent, patient, showed us some great spots and great pizza! She was fantastic, highly recommend her!!

My wife and I toured Manhattan with Mei on 9/27 of this year. It was my first time in New York City. I'm an urban planner by trade so I wasn't as interested in the touristy areas as I could find those on my own. Mei was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the history of New York City. She brought some of the places we went to life with fascinating stories and showed us hidden gems like Fort Tryon Park. She provided insider tips that we wouldn't have found in any guidebook. The pacing of the tour was perfect and there was just the right balance of walking, exploring and taking the subway. She taught us how to do that. What really set the tour apart was how personalized it felt. Mei took the time to engage with both me and my wife and tailored the experience to our interests. She showed us the architectural history of Grand Central station and the library and made recommendations for local eateries. It was clear that she genuinely wanted us to have the ultimate New York City experience. I can't say enough good things about Mei. She is such an amazing person and you guys are lucky to have her on your team.

Ross was our tour guide and he was fantastic. He listened to what we wanted to see and made sure we packed it all in - even though it rained much of the time! We came prepared. Ross was an excellent and very helpful communicator prior to our meet up as well. Highly recommend!

Private Christmas tour in NYC with Ross was amazing. He customized the tour toward my family’s interests and we saw EVERYTHING we wanted to see. He was patient with the crowds and made changes at our request. Highly recommended!!!

Our guide Ross was great. We were able to see all main NY attractions by foot. 6 hour tour is optimal for this.

I gave a list of places to our guide and he listened and hit them all for us. It's a great option if you don't mind walking a lot.

Amazing !

It was very fun!

Ed was very communicative from the beginning, trying to customize our tour even though we did not really know what we wanted to see. He met us at Grand Central and guided us on the subway and he did a great job leading us through and included a stop at a great bakery in Williamsburg. He also made sure that we got back to where we needed to be. My husband and I really enjoyed our afternoon and felt that we were meeting with an old friend. Would definitely recommend Ed as a guide, as a native New Yorker, you can tell really loves his city!! Thanks Ed

Had a wonderful time in New York City thanks to our guide Ed. Ed navigated with ease and showed us so much in our one day visit. We logged over 11 miles so we didn’t feel guilty about eating all that wonderful food and cheesecake!

Kamilla did a great job of personalising the tour according to my preferences and ensuring I got the most out of only 6 hours in NYC to get a real feel for the city covering many highlights.

We had a wonderful tour with Kamilla. Stärkung in Brooklyn Heights and then going with a fairy to Williamsburg where we could admire alll the cool places and Young people … Kamilla Turner out to be very flexible, well spoken and Full of Knowledge ….

This was an absolutely amazing tour. Kamilia was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable and made our trip very interesting. I would definitely recommend her as your tour guide.

Her knowledge and passion made my tour educational, fun and an experience with local food!

First time in NYC! Jason P was very knowledgeable and good storyteller. It was a great way to meet NYC.

He not only gave us an amazing tour, he taught us how to use the subway! Any questions we asked he was able to answer and taught us so much. Highly recommend using Jason as a tour guide!

Jason our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, communicated great, and was super friendly and fun. We had a great time and could not have asked for a better experience. 5 stars for sure

Hi We had a private tour with Jason and spent the day exploring New York. We had such a great day, when we booked New York we was worried about getting around the City and judging the timings. Jason was brilliant, planned the day for us, making sure we got see the sights and recommended food venues down to our taste. Totally recommend Thanks

We had a custom tour of NYC and Denise was so wonderful. She showed us around, was so flexible ( as we had all different interests and ages of kids), and made the afternoon fantastic. Thank you Denise for a great great day around the city!

Denise made a tour that was interesting for the 3 generations. We got a good explanation how to use the subway so we knew how to use it ourselfs. As she said herself she is not so good in dates and numbers( of historical things), but that was no issue for us.

We had a great time and Denise showed us around, had a great time! Would recommend!

Denise Foley was carefully chosen and made a perfect work. I strongly recommend her
