I'm Beth G., your private tour guide in New York City
Guide #64652
Hello, I'm Beth, a long-term Upper West Side resident and a New York City history lover. The city's history is my passion and to this day I continually learn fascinating tidbits about my home. Thanks to my work both as an employee of the Central Park Conservancy and as a volunteer, I am a Central Park specialist, but beyond that, I lead tours all over the city, including Grand Central Terminal, Upper West Side & Downtown. I also conduct bird watching and bus tours. My interests are quite eclectic: the Gilded Age, bird watching, film, theater, live music, architecture, and more. All of these add dimension and an entertaining breadth and scope to my tours. ALL of my tours and experiences may be customized and curated to meet your personal interests. Feel free to ask me any questions!

Beth's Central Park tour was my favorite tour during our visit to NYC. She showed us so many special spots--places that are known both for their history and their moment in pop culture. Beth quickly picked up on the fact that we love history, so she catered the tour to dive more deeply into the historical aspects of the park. She showed us the vision of Fred Olmstead and...
