Hello! My name is Paula and I want to welcome you to my dear New York City, a cosmopolitan hub of innovation and lights. I came to NYC by way of Boston MA, Italy, Brazil, and Buenos Aires, Argentina where I was born. Living in different continents and traveling from the age of 5 years old gave me the opportunity to learn different languages and cultures. These experiences have deepened my passion for photography, history, architecture, and different cuisines. I could show you NYC in a unique way, through the eyes of a current local who sees the Statue of Liberty every day through her window pane as a world traveler who dreamt of seeing that same statue. Licensed NYC Tour Guide CPR and FIRST AID & AED Certified I am not a driver. But I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your New York City tour

With all the amazing things to do in NY, I want to share some of my absolute favorite Midtown spots that you shouldn't miss. So come with me, I will plan a perfect journey for you! A must-visit throughout the year (especially at Christmas with its famous Christmas tree and ice rink) is the Rockefeller Center, a beautiful Art Deco complex of commercial buildings. This is one of the landmarks we'll come across walking along the iconic Fifth Avenue, where I'll share some of the Gilded Age history with you. I'll also make sure to point out the world-class museums and luxury shopping spots we'll pass by. As an extra option, we could even add a visit to the new Observation Deck on top of Vanderbilt One, the newest observatory is the tallest commercial skyscraper in Midtown and among the top 30 buildings in the world. Just let me know!

I couldn’t believe how hard it was to find someone offering a private tour in Spanish. After a long search, I found Paula, and I’m so grateful I did. She met us promptly at our hotel, and we set out on our walking tour of Manhattan. I was traveling with my 24-year-old stepson, who speaks only Spanish. Paula had a great itinerary planned, but once they started talking, she quickly adapted the tour to match his interests. She’s so knowledgeable that she was able to point out and discuss places that weren’t even on the original itinerary. Whatever language your tour is in, I highly recommend Paula. She’s an excellent guide and a lot of fun to spend time with.

We really enjoyed your companionship. Our local friends and family already know of you for their future visit to the Big Apple. Love You
