Hello! Come with me, I LOVE this city, and I'm sure you will too! I was born in Italy, in the beautiful island of Sicily, but grew up in NYC. Although Architecture has been my principal interest and occupation during my life, out of the love for this city and the need to share this love with others, I have become a professional tour guide and ambassador to this city, showing the known and lesser known, the iconic spots and places off the beaten path, the history, geography and cultures of this unique and fantastic city! My training, my urban interests, my passions in history, art, photography, music and food (my Italian background?) is what makes me an exceptional tour guide. And one more fundamental thing: my desire to pass all this to you so you can have the greatest trip ever, eat the best food in New York City, find the best things to do and see the finest New York has to offer. On my tours you will feel like having a friend in New York showing you around their neighborhood. You call me, I listen, then suggest the perfect tour in New York City in the most interesting neighborhoods. Whether your interests are in art and architecture, history and human studies, food or music or you simply want to see the city's monuments and neighborhoods, I have the tour for you! A personal experience where New York history is always part of the tour, to better understand and live your visit in NY. I am also very attentive to your needs during my tours, I go at your pace and care about you and am very focused on safety (I worked as safety inspector for over 10 years!). So my tours are ideal for seniors, kids and families. If my calendar indicates unavailability, please message me anyway. Sometimes bookings change. Join me for a special adventure in New York City by taking one of my tours. Let's experience NYC's magic together! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ciao! Vieni con me, AMO questa città e sono sicuro che te ne innamorerai anche tu! Sono nato in Italia, nella bellissima Sicilia, ma sono cresciuto a New York. Sebbene l'architettura sia stata il mio principale interesse e occupazione durante la mia vita, l'amore per questa città e il desiderio di condividere questo amore con gli altri, sono diventato una guida turistica e ambasciatore di questa città, mostrando il noto e il meno conosciuto, I luoghi iconici e I luoghi fuori dai sentieri battuti, la storia, la geografia e le culture di questa città unica e fantastica! La mia formazione, I miei interessi, le mie passioni per la storia, l'arte, la fotografia, la musica e il cibo (dovuto forse al mio background italiano?) e' ciò che mi rende una guida turistica eccezionale. E un'altra cosa fondamentale: il mio desiderio di condividere con te tutto cio' cosi' da poter fare del tuo viaggio il più bello di sempre, provare il cibo migliore di New York City e trovare le cose migliori da fare e vedere che New York abbia da offrire. Durante I miei tour ti sembrerà di avere un amico a New York che ti mostrerà I loro quartieri. Mi chiami, iascolto, poi ti suggerisco il tour perfetto a New York City nei quartieri più interessanti. Se I tuoi interessi sono nell'arte, nell'architettura e nella storia, nel cibo o nella musica o se vuoi semplicemente vedere I monumenti e I quartieri della città, ho il tour che fa per te! Un'esperienza personale in cui la storia di New York è sempre parte del tour, per comprendere meglio e vivere al massimo la tua visita a New York. Sono anche molto attento alle tue esigenze durante I miei tour, seguo il tuo ritmo e mi prendo cura di te e sono molto concentrato sulla sicurezza (ho lavorato come ispettore della sicurezza per oltre 10 anni!). Quindi I miei tour sono ideali per anziani, bambini e famiglie. Se il mio calendario indica indisponibilità, ti prego di inviarmi un messaggio. A volte le prenotazioni cambiano.
