Michael D. - Private Tour Guide. I am a licensed New York City Sightseeing Guide and President of the Guides Association of New York City (GANYC). A life long New Yorker, my family roots in this great city date back to the 1850's. There is a lot of NYC in my DNA. As an experienced traveler I appreciate how important a guide can be for enhancing a visitor's experience. Getting to know a new place with a local makes all the difference. New York City - packed with things to do, places to go and people to see - can be a little overwhelming without the expertise of a native to show you the ropes. My tours will help you get the most out of your visit to our beautiful Metropolis. My goal as your guide is to help you fall in love with this city. I have given tours on boat, bus, foot, car and subway. Customized tours built around your interests are a specialty. Contact me with any questions. I look forward to providing you with a memorable and exciting visit to The Big Apple. Licensed New York City Tour Guide by The NYC Department of Consumer Affairs. President, National Federation of Tourist Guide Associations-USA Past President, Guides Association of New York City Licensed Washington DC guide. Certified International Tour Manager - International Guide Academy, Denver CO. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver. I do local, New York City tours only. No over the road trips.

Michael was wonderful!! He was on time and spent an extra 2 hours with us over our reserved time. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He got us in and out of places and kept us moving. He answered all of our questions and we had a fantastic first trip to NYC all because of Michael. Definitely use him! Donna Washington, PA
Michael is very considerate and knowledgeable. He was very patient with my nephew who has adhd. He would explain things very clearly in a light hearted mode. We are very happy to have found a local who can guide us through this very busy city.
Michael, thank you for a wonderful day in New York. I expecially appreciate your friendly manner, and huge knowledge of the city. Thank you for making this time so memorable. Sincererly, Malcolm.
If you want to see NYC- Michael is the guy to get your around and tell you the stories of his home town. What an excellent job he did on our day together. His knowledge and expertise allowed us to see more of the city than we have done in one day than we could have ever done on our own. He went above and beyond what we expected and we highly recommend him.
