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.

Overview of your New York City tour
From spectacular skylines to crowded subways, this is the quintessential New York City experience. The city is a collection of islands and we depend on various means to reach them. This tour will give you a unique perspective on the city as we travel through the day utilizing ferries, subways and a walk across the fabled Brooklyn Bridge.
Your New York City tour itinerary
The adventure begins with a boat ride giving you superlative views of New York City. There is no better way to view this classic skyline than from the unique vantage point of our rivers. Back on land, we'll explore some of the lower Manhattan streetscapes, including a visit to the 9/11 memorial and the South Street Seaport area. After another quick boat to historic Brooklyn, we will take a lunch break. Brooklyn is known to serve the best pizza in the world--and no New York experience is complete without it. (Other options are available) We'll then work off those calories with a stroll across the famous Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan. Back in Manhattan we'll ride the subway and finish up at either Times Square or Rockefeller Center. Both the bridge and the subway are essential elements of navigating New York, and will give you insight into life as a New Yorker. By the end of the day, you'll feel a little more connected to this formidably welcoming city. MINIMUM TWO (2)WEEK ADVANCE BOOKING REQUIRED.
