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.

Overview of your New York City tour

Exploring Central Park and Roosevelt Island is the "known" meeting the "unknown" of New York City. On this half-day walking tour, we visit the mysterious "Island of the Undesirables" Roosevelt Island with its fascinating history, serene atmosphere, and stunning city views. We then head to New York's classic nature getaway in the heart of the city - Central Park - with its lush greenery, historic features, and abundant vistas. I once lived on Roosevelt Island and to me, it's the secret of the city. Most New Yorker's have never been there and are missing out for sure. I absolutely love it… and love sharing it with others. And one of my favorite things to do in the city is stroll in Central Park. The people watching is amazing. The landscapes are rich. You will feel like you've stepped away from the city, despite being steps away from some of the tallest buildings in the world. My tours are very family friendly. Bring on the kids!

Your New York City tour itinerary

I will either meet you in your hotel lobby or guest residence. If it makes more sense to meet at a central location, I will coordinate that location with you in advance (and give directions.) Once we meet, we will: - Fly high over the East River on the Roosevelt Island Tramway. - See the crumbing ruins of one of New York's most frightening places. - Enjoy spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline. - Visit one of the most romantic places in all of New York at the Bethesda Terrace. - Get completely lost in the woods… in the middle of New York City. - The tour will end in the middle of Central Park. I will direct you to nearby subways to help you get to your next destination. Guests will have time for photos throughout. There are opportunities to stop for restrooms and snacks at several points along the way. * This itinerary can be customized upon request. Feel free to message me.
