With so many places to visit and an extensive subway system, I know New York City can feel overwhelming. There's nothing I love more than helping someone feel at ease and have a great experience exploring the amazing areas of New York. I'm a licensed NYC tour guide offering private, personalized, and fun full and half day neighborhood walking tours for families and small groups. With every tour, I aim to help people learn to navigate around town, hear great stories, capture wonderful photos, laugh a lot, and make amazing memories together. I am passionate, energetic, quick-witted, and love making people say "wow" at all the sites. I'm originally from Orlando, FL, but have lived in numerous places, including San Francisco, Atlanta, and even Sydney, Australia. Prior to becoming a guide, I worked for years helping well-respected non-profit organizations tell their stories and raise funds to support their critical work. For the past 11 years, my wife and I have called New York City home. We absolutely love living here and are always out exploring the city. I'm also a Broadway fanatic seeing more than 100 shows a year and am happy to offer suggestions for what to see and the best way to get tickets. It'll be an amazing day out in the city for you and your traveling companions. I can't wait to meet you.

In the morning, we will explore the stunning residential streets of Brooklyn Heights. Then we'll make our way through the fascinating former warehouse district of DUMBO. In the afternoon, after walking the Brooklyn Bridge, we'll head into SOHO, the largest cast iron district in the world, where artists once reigned supreme. We'll finish the adventure winding our way through the historic and charming streets of Greenwich Village. These neighborhoods are loaded with some of the most fascinating stories in New York City. You are sure to get a true sense of what it's like to live in this magical city; how the energy and vibe changes from one neighborhood to the next. And you'll love every minute of it!
