I have been guiding in NYC for over ten years. With a background in acting, I have learned to bring my all to every tour as if it were a stage performance. My expertise covers every Manhattan neighbourhood as well as many in Brooklyn. Are you perhaps looking for food tours? I got you covered. Do you want to see Midtown Manhattan, Harlem, Lower Manhattan, or the Brooklyn Bridge? Get ready to see the sights with me! We can make everything into a part of your vacation that will all comes together with a sharp sense of humor and a gentle heart. During the last decade, I have put a great deal of effort in studying the events of 9/11 with a focus on the stories of individuals from that day, and the specifics on how the building collapsed. Don't hesitate to contact me if you want to create a customized experience for your time in New York, I'll be happy to elaborate a tour that covers all your interests and preferences!

Overview of your New York City tour

This immersive 3 hour tour includes a panoramic stroll across the iconic Brooklyn Bridge offering breathtaking Manhattan & Brooklyn views. We'll be stopping as we walk across it, seizing striking photo opportunities of Manhattan & Brooklyn's harbour as I discuss the bridge's history & design with you. We'll also stroll through Brooklyn Heights, a prestigious residential area known for its captivating architecture & historical significance. Here we will see the original headquarters of the Brooklyn Dodgers, as well as many beautiful historic brownstones. Strolling through this area which is called America's "first suburb", I'll share stories of its past, including George Washington's strategic stand. We'll admire its architecture, passing by homes of literary giants like Truman Capote, Arthur Miller & Norman Mailer, and of course visit the vibrant DUMBO neighbourhood. You'll be blown away by its history, as well as the stunning Manhattan skyline & harbour views as we stroll along the promenade.

Jon is an amazing tour guide! We had a blast on our Brooklyn Bridge tour with him. He was engaging and prepared to answer all our questions, tour related or not. He made sure we were comfortable and had all the food/beverage/bathroom breaks we needed and pointed out the best places to get amazing photos. He is an excellent communicator before, during, and after the tour and I'd highly recommend taking any of his tours!
