I'm a native New Yorker and I have a great love and knowledge of New York City, from Times Square and The Great White Way to Brooklyn and many lesser-known but no less interesting sites. We can visit Harlem, the home of Jazz in NYC and of course the Battery to view the Statue of Liberty. All of New York's neighborhoods have a story to tell - from Wall Street to Central Park West where many celebrities dwell. I tell true and fascinating stories of New York's past and more recent history. I'll give you something to write home about.

Overview of your New York City tour

Only 40% of New Yorkers have cars, only 15% of those who live in Manhattan. It's a good thing since there are only 19 petrol stations on the entire island of Manhattan! New York is really a city for walking, but it's also quite large. We can't take in the whole city in one day, or even in two full weeks of walking but we can ride! We'll travel via luxurious SUV, either in a Cadillac Escalade, a Lincoln Navigator, or a Chevy Suburban through all the most important neighborhoods of New York City. Of course, we'll get out to stroll around in numerous locations like Central Park, Grand Central Terminal, The 9/11 Memorial, The Brooklyn Bridge, & Wall Street. We'll see the Statue of Liberty from the climate controlled cabin of our luxury vehicle, we can get out for closer views and photo opportunities with her as well. We'll also visit Times Square, the Crossroads of the World, Rockefeller Center - an Art Deco masterpiece city within a city. Along the way we'll have a slice of pizza or a hot dog! Join me!

Your New York City tour itinerary

We start at your hotel or venue of your choice. We'll drive up to, through, and around Central Park, then through Harlem, possibly seeing Grant's Tomb, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and Columbia University. We'll head back downtown, through Times Square for a stop at Rockefeller Center. Next up, Grand Central Terminal, passing the famous NY Public Library on the way. We'll head downtown to view the Empire State Building, the Flatiron Building, cruising through Greenwich Village and SoHo and perhaps stop again in NYC's Chinatown & Little Italy. Downtown, we'll see the Law & Order Courthouse, the Brooklyn Bridge, The Statue of Liberty, Wall Street and the 911 Memorial. We may have lunch at Grand Central Terminal or in Chinatown. Disclaimer; If I must travel to you anywhere outside of Manhattan, Western Queens or North West Brooklyn, part of that travel time will count towards the stated tour duration. Please contact me through the message feature here on ToursByLocals site before you book!
