Michael D. - Private Tour Guide. I am a licensed New York City Sightseeing Guide and President of the Guides Association of New York City (GANYC). A life long New Yorker, my family roots in this great city date back to the 1850's. There is a lot of NYC in my DNA. As an experienced traveler I appreciate how important a guide can be for enhancing a visitor's experience. Getting to know a new place with a local makes all the difference. New York City - packed with things to do, places to go and people to see - can be a little overwhelming without the expertise of a native to show you the ropes. My tours will help you get the most out of your visit to our beautiful Metropolis. My goal as your guide is to help you fall in love with this city. I have given tours on boat, bus, foot, car and subway. Customized tours built around your interests are a specialty. Contact me with any questions. I look forward to providing you with a memorable and exciting visit to The Big Apple. Licensed New York City Tour Guide by The NYC Department of Consumer Affairs. President, National Federation of Tourist Guide Associations-USA Past President, Guides Association of New York City Licensed Washington DC guide. Certified International Tour Manager - International Guide Academy, Denver CO. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver. I do local, New York City tours only. No over the road trips.

My family enjoyed our two day tour with Michael. He was very thorough and energetic. He tailed the tour to include items that my nieces would enjoy, since they are eight and nine. He answered all of our questions, and he gave suggestions of other things to do or eat. Our favorite part of the tour was our lunch at the Ukrainian restaurant. We would highly recommend this tour!!
We had a such a great time during our 2 days tour with Michael D. He is very knowledgeable. He took us to every place we wanted to see and more that we didn't even know about. I would highly recommend getting a private tour if you are new in NYC and hiring Michael as your guide. It is well worth it.
Wow! Best investment we could have made. Hired Michael to provide a private tour to our family of 5 for a whirlwind weekend trip to NYC. He delivered! We saw it all and his knowledge of the city saved us literally hours of waiting in line at attractions like the Statue of Liberty and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In addition, he shared very interesting facts and history of the city as we went along. He had a great sense of humor and was a fantastic add to our time in NYC. Highly recommend Michael!
We decided to do our tour (2 days) via the subway as we wanted a true New York experience and that is what we got from Brian. We had the best hotdogs and papaya juice from the local hotdog store, waffles from the sidewalk, we visited places that you would not find on a normal tour. The little church at the 9/11 Memorial where the fireman would hang their shoes at the start of their shift some never to be reclaimed. This tour was exactly what we wanted so we could learn the history surrounding New York.
Day 1: Morning: we will be visiting the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island We begin our time together by visiting one of the most iconic US monuments and one of the most historic sites in the US.

Day 2: Morning: we will be exploring Midtown Manhattan The home to Times Square, Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, etc some of our most famous sites.
