Traveling has always been in my blood. First as a tourist, then for work and now, from the other side as a guide. I have lived, worked and loved in this wonderful metropolis and consequently I now help people discover New York City through the eyes of a Local. Here's my story in a nutshell: After graduating from San Francisco Conservatory of Music, I toured the world as an opera singer and settled in New York City over 30 years ago (I know! Time flies when you're having fun. . . In the "second act" of my life I shared my passion between teaching Voice, and investing. I have worked in the financial markets, saw the internet bubble from the inside and the financial crisis from a little too close. . . if you know what I mean. In the third act, I had children bringing light and life into my household and a strong desire to educate started to grow in me. A life long passion for history found its way through Tour Guiding. Since the year 2005, guiding tourists (and sometimes even locals!) through my city has been less than a job and more of a passion. If you want a unique experience, lively conversations on a wide range of topics and funny anecdotes about New York City, look no further. I can conduct my tours in either English or French, or both if you wish! I am looking forward to being your guide and maybe you'll join me in an aria or two. Benoit Fully Licensed New York City Sightseeing Tour Guide San Francisco Conservatory of Music Graduate Voice Teacher I do not have a car. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver. In my opinion, Walking Tours are the best way to discover and enjoy New York City.
