Ciao! I'm Laura, a Sicilian jazz vocalist & songwriter turned New Yorker tour guide. I'm a total extrovert, I love meeting people and sharing not only the Highlights of this magical city but also my personal experiences as an immigrant to the Big Apple. I am always up for a heart-to-heart conversation, funny jokes and to take your pictures ;) What are you waiting for? Come discover NYC with me! About me: I'm an award-winning songwriter and jazz singer born and raised in Sicily, Italy. I landed in New York City in 2010 and fell in love with its rough and electric vibe. I moved to the Big Apple to work as a performer, and to make ends meet I've also held jobs as a private teacher, baby sitter, waitress, translator, personal assistant at the university level, and columnist, until in 2018 I started working as a tour guide. That was a game changer for me, for in tourism I found a great new love! I am a licensed NYC sightseeing tour guide and have been working regularly since 2018 with a variety of companies from the US & around the world. Italian is my first language but I'm also fluent in English and Spanish. My love for languages, history and art, mixed with my 20+ years of professional experience on stage and my outgoing, friendly personality make me a warm and fun tour guide who can connect with people from all walks of live to provide an AUTHENTIC and UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE. I am a proud Sicilian, wife to my wonderful husband and best friend Joe, a dog and cat mom with a deep love for pets and animals in general. I am a foodie and a bit of a goofball. I am a Buddhist and I'm very passionate about social justice. You can say I'm radically inclusive :) I believe happiness is true only if shared and I look forward to sharing my happiness with you! My tours: I offer a variety of walking tours that can be customized to fit your curiosity and desires. When you book a tour with me you know that's YOUR tour and that in me you will find a guide and a friend who's flexible to accommodate your needs. I'll share tips with you on what to do in your free time, where to eat or shop and how to maximize your time making the best of your visit. I truly enjoy my work as a tour guide & taking people around the city I love and that I call home. I'm confident I can make you fall in love with it too. I can't wait to meet you! - NYC Licensed Tour Guide - Batchelor Degree in Music - Professional performer for 20+ years I do not drive in NYC and I don't have a car, but what's more New Yorker than that? We can take the Subway, call Uber or stop a taxi with a finger just as seen on TV :)
