Tour guide in New York City Matthew C.
I'm Matthew C., your private tour guide in New York City
Guide #312
I'm a native New Yorker and I have a great love and knowledge of New York City, from Times Square and The Great White Way to Brooklyn and many lesser-known but no less interesting sites. We can visit Harlem, the home of Jazz in NYC and of course the Battery to view the Statue of Liberty. All of New York's neighborhoods have a story to tell - from Wall Street to Central Park West where many celebrities dwell. I tell true and fascinating stories of New York's past and more recent history. I'll give you something to write home about.

Being able to walk around the area where the...

Hi Kathy, I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner. You and your whole family are so much fun and I truly enjoyed our day together. Thank you for the glowing review. Stay happy & well. 😎
Beth M.June 2025This was the perfect tour for our needs. We arrived into Manhattan via cruise ship, and we had a few hours until we needed to be at the airport - so we wanted a super high-level tour of the major sites of NYC to help fill our time. Matthew and his driver picked us up at the pier (and all our luggage), then whisked us away through the city. We saw several notable...

Thank you Joyce. I had a great time with you and your sister. It was really exiting for me to do the research to learn more about your mother's and grandmother's community and to be able to offer that to you. You guys have to write me do I can share with you some of the source material I found for your tour. Cheers, Matthew C.

We were only going to be in Manhattan for one day and Matt gave us a perfect overview of the high points a person should see in New York City. He was in contact with us before our arrival to find out our preferences and even gave me advice on which shuttle service to use. He tailored the trip to give us a true New York experience from riding the subway, seeing Times...
