Hello! My name is Paula and I want to welcome you to my dear New York City, a cosmopolitan hub of innovation and lights. I came to NYC by way of Boston MA, Italy, Brazil, and Buenos Aires, Argentina where I was born. Living in different continents and traveling from the age of 5 years old gave me the opportunity to learn different languages and cultures. These experiences have deepened my passion for photography, history, architecture, and different cuisines. I could show you NYC in a unique way, through the eyes of a current local who sees the Statue of Liberty every day through her window pane as a world traveler who dreamt of seeing that same statue. Licensed NYC Tour Guide CPR and FIRST AID & AED Certified I am not a driver. But I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Meeting location

Grand Army Plaza, Grand Army Plaza, New York, NY, USA

Grand Army Plaza, New York, NY 10019 The Sherman Monument is the large, golden statue located at Grand Army Plaza, right at the corner of 59th Street and 5th Avenue, directly across from The Plaza Hotel. It’s one of the easiest landmarks for families to spot. The statue shows General William Tecumseh Sherman riding a horse, led by a graceful female figure representing Victory. Both figures are covered in brilliant gold leaf, so the monument shines beautifully in the sunlight and stands out from far away.

  • You can request a specific meeting location (for example, your hotel) during the checkout.
