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. Please contact me through ToursByLocals messaging before booking a tour in case I forgotten to mark my unavailability!

Overview of your New York City tour

I'm a native New Yorker and I have a great love and an encyclopedic knowledge of New York City. I'll show you sites and tell you stories illustrating New York's rich history. We'll see Central Park, New York City's backyard, drive down Fifth Ave passing Trump Tower, St. Patrick's Cathedral and Rockefeller Center. We'll cruise through Times Square and we'll stop at the lovely Grand Central Terminal. We'll then pass the NY Public Library and continue down through Greenwich Village, SoHo, Little Italy & Chinatown, all the way down to NYC's Financial District. We'll stop and pay our respects at the 911 Memorial. Finally, we'll whisk you out to JFK for your flight home. 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 time. Please contact me through the message feature here on ToursByLocals site before you book!
