You'd never think an Italian criminal attorney may one day decide to wrap things up, move to New York and become a tour guide. But that's actually what I've done. I grew up as a classic musician. Cello was my instrument but at 19, right after graduation, an incident forced me to stop playing professionally. After that, choosing law school was not easy. The voice of reason told me I had to keep practicing law, but 6 years ago I decided it was time to do what I really liked. And I've always liked New York! When I came here, all I knew was that I loved this city and that I am a good storyteller. So becoming a tour guide became a natural choice. The first thing I did was getting my license. And after that, I took all the subway lines and started to walk from one end to the line to the other. It was a very long journey, it took more than two months, but after that I knew I had the pulse of the city, from the iconic places to those where history was made, including Ellis Island, the gateway to America, where I made more than 1000 tours! My tours want to highlight the beauty and the unicity of New York. Even the most famous, iconic and exploited site in this town can be seen in a new way. Not to talk about the hidden gems the city has to offer, in and out of Manhattan. I am the quintessence of the private tour guide. I can offer private walking tours and tailor made experiences all over the city. I can also provide, for an additional charge, a private car with a dedicated driver as well as other tourist attractions like helicopter tours, private events, street entertainment, flash-mobs and more. All my tours can be customized upon request. Please be aware I am not a driver, but I can secure transportation via a trusted professional driver for your tours. Be also aware I have celiac disease, therefore I am sensitive to special food needs and can be of great help for customers with such conditions. Licensed New York Sightseeing Guide since 2017: Law school graduated at University of Florence, Italy and former attorney

The Best of New York from the Comfort of Private Transportation
Overview of your New York City tour
Highlights of New York is the perfect way to explore the iconic parts of New York with a licensed tour guide and a professional, fully insured driver. You'll enjoy a private tour with private transportation, so you will see the city like a VIP. And don't worry, we know the rhythms and the ups and downs of New York. Not only will you be entertained in the car, you will avoid being stuck in the frozen traffic. I still remember the first time it happened to me. It was surreal, I swore it couldn't happen again! What I like about a driving tour of New York is giving people the chance to see how really the whole city can change within one block, something you may not be able to see on the subway, when stops are between several blocks. I love how amazed people are when they see it actually happening! Take a journey with us to some of the most iconic and beautiful parts of New York City. We'll take you on a private tour with transportation that will make your heart race.
