I have been guiding in NYC for over ten years. With a background in acting, I have learned to bring my all to every tour as if it were a stage performance. My expertise covers every Manhattan neighbourhood as well as many in Brooklyn. Are you perhaps looking for food tours? I got you covered. Do you want to see Midtown Manhattan, Harlem, Lower Manhattan, or the Brooklyn Bridge? Get ready to see the sights with me! We can make everything into a part of your vacation that will all comes together with a sharp sense of humor and a gentle heart. During the last decade, I have put a great deal of effort in studying the events of 9/11 with a focus on the stories of individuals from that day, and the specifics on how the building collapsed. Don't hesitate to contact me if you want to create a customized experience for your time in New York, I'll be happy to elaborate a tour that covers all your interests and preferences!
