I am native New Yorker, born and raised in Manhattan. Growing up from a young age I always loved spending my free time at museums, and riding the subway to different neighborhoods to explore. I have a B.A. in theatre from Binghamton University and have worked on various film, TV, theatre and commercial projects. I became a licensed tour guide in 2013, and have done tours with both small and large groups, including walking tours, as well as public transportation/bus tours. I love showing my hometown to both visitors and to locals who want to explore and learn more about this great city. In taking one of my tours, my goal is for you to experience New York like a local. Therefore, my tours are done either on foot or with public transportation, the most typical ways to get around here. You can choose from one of my tours listed and I would also be happy to work with you to customize either a half or full day tour to check off as many bucket list items of yours as possible.

Overview of your New York City tour
First time in New York City? Want to check off a lot of bucket list items and have a limited time to do so? Then taking my full day bucket list tour will help you get your bearings and figure out what to do with the rest of your time in NYC. On this tour, we'll cover multiple areas of the city including Central Park, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Lower Manhattan and the 9/11 memorial. You’ll get to check off major bucket list items and I will also show you some hidden gems along the way. We will get around with a combination of walking and subway rides, like a true local. Millions of New Yorkers use the subway every day and I will make sure by the end of the tour that you are confident in using it too! If possible I would suggest booking this tour early on in your stay, because it would surely help you in your next days here!
