Having grown up in a dancer's loft in Tribeca, I have an appreciation for the under-the-radar features of this amazing city as well as for its better known monuments, parks, and skyscrapers and I'd love to share them all with you. I'm a native New Yorker and licensed NYC tour guide who's been leading tours through my hometown since 2018. I would love to take you around this dynamic city that I know like the back of my hand. I have led groups of all sizes, from intimate, private family tours to 50 person student groups on buses. I'm an actor, a college teacher, and a writer so I'm great with conveying interesting information in a fun way and I'm excellent at connecting with all types of people, making them feel welcome and excited to see the best that this town has to offer! I'm always able to custom design a tour to your liking so let me know what you're interested in.

Walking through Central Park with Gardiner gave me a richer appreciation of this iconic gem of the people’s retreat. There were so many fascinating elements on this walking tour that I wish there had been an all day tour offered with Gardiner.

Gardiner is an excellent guide and we had the best time walking around Central Park with him. We learned a lot and loved hearing all the stories. We highly recommend a tour with him.

Thanks Ms. Vainio! It was lovely taking you and your son around. Come back again!
We had a really great day with Gardiner in NYC. He was prompt, friendly, enthusiastic, and so full of fascinating information. He was patient with us, and answered every question we had. He added in an unscheduled stop at a store we needed to run into, and he gave suggestions for other activities, dining, etc. Seeing a city with a Local is really the best way to...
