What you'll do

You’ll explore the city with one of our local NY hosts to discover the most exciting spots in what’s already a wildly exciting city - no matter what age you are! Just let us know your family’s style, and your host will show you the spots that everyone from the little to the not-so-little will love. And everyone loves doughnuts. But we digress.

You’ll explore the city’s most beautiful green spaces, which your kids will recognize from the big screen - hello, Central Park - and visit iconic sights you’ve all been waiting to see. Still, with your host’s local knowledge, they’ll become less of a tourist trap nightmare and a more dreamy experience to remember.

And it always helps to have someone around who knows where the nearest coffee shop or pizzeria is - always good for diffusing any potentially over-tired situations.

Whether you want to soak up the concrete jungle and hit the pavement for some bucket-list sightseeing or you’d like an alternative afternoon exploring a quieter local neighborhood, just let us know, and we’ll do our best to make it happen.

    If you are new to New York and with a young family and need fun things to then you need a session with Miriam. She is knowledgeable and approachable and very friendly. From the offset you get a feeling of someone that knows the layout of the city with interesting information regarding the buildings and history. One place not to miss is Gullivers Gate, We initially booked 4 hours and then had to extend to 6 hours because Miriam was so good and great with the children. Want a slice of authentic big apple well look no further with Miriam.
