My parents sailed by the Statue of Liberty in 1948, seeking as millions before them, a new life filled with possibilities as they fled war ravaged Europe. Since I earned my NYC Tour Guide License in 2006, I have had the privilege to tell their story and that of New York City to countless visitors with real stories such as those my parents and family which includes persons making their living in fashion design, film making, church work, music, Real Estate and medicine. This helps give you an authentic sense of this City and region. This City holds a fascinating history and I will tell you the many stories of the City along with captivating facts and figures. My tours of the City comes alive as I share up close and personal life stories and those of the people; including myself working with firefighters as a their chaplain and at the World Trade Center with victim families and survivors. I have brought guests to almost every nook and cranny in The City in my capacity as a licensed and professional New York City Tour Guide, coordinating corporate groups, school groups, family visits, individual travelers and more. My credentials include: - New York City Tour Guide License. - Washington DC Tour Guide License. - Member of GANYC (Guide Association of New York City) - Post Secondary Degrees in History, Theology and Political Science. - Firefighter Chaplain. - Chauffeur's License. If you wish a comprehensive several day experience in the City and / or along the East Coast, please ask me to design a Custom Tour for you. We can do Washington, Philadelphia, Amish Country, Boston and even that 'natural wonder of the world', Niagara Falls! I guarantee a terrific experience. I live it; you will love it.

See Manhattan from Central Park to Wall Street
Overview of your New York City tour
This fabulous tour in my Black Sienna Mini Van with Sun Roof is the perfect way to see the City in all kinds of weather! It is never too hot nor too cold in my luxurious vehicle. During the tour you will have the opportunity to take a short stroll into Central Park, walk through Rockefeller Center and see where the famous NYC Christmas Tree stands so magnificently each December. In Battery Park City you will get to walk to the edge of the Hudson River for a view over to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty and at the World Trade Center you will have the opportunity to stand beside the memorial pools. Time permitting, there will be a short stroll down Wall Street. As you drive along you will hear about spots famous in movies and TV Shows as well as where the rich and famous live... New York is an incredible city... I promise you a very special experience.

Wonderful tour through the city. Remo was a great host and my wife and I felt like we were getting a college level course on the history of the city. Remo was great with adjustments to the itinerary that we requested and also adjusted well during the tour to maneuver around a parade that was slowing traffic. Highly recommend. Make sure Remo makes a quick stop to get some excellent dumplings from Ma in Chinatown.

We had a lovely day with Remo … saw the entire city in four hours. Were able to hop out and walk at certain stops. A great way to see the city if you have limited time, as was the case with us.
Larry M.
Remo was amazing and our family could not have enjoyed our time with him more. He was kind enough to meet us with umbrellas because of the weather and was knowledgeable about every area of New York that we visited. We wouldn't hesitate to tour with him again and look forward to doing it again in the future!

This is a great option to make sure you catch the highlights in a short (4 hour) tour. Remo was great. He adjusted to what we asked for. Never felt rushed or bored. Really enjoyed it.
Sara T.
As a seasoned travel advisor, I wouldn't even CONSIDER using someone other than Remo for a future visit for myself or for a client. He is EVERYTHING you could hope for: from planning to communication to service during the tour. Remo is an absolute GEM and I almost hesitate to let the word get out! Haha. He's THAT good!
