This unique tour is hosted by an experienced tour guide who is a native New Yorker. You will learn about the history and culture of New York City and you'll also learn "secrets" that you would not be able to find out on your own. Your experienced tour guide has hundreds of 5 star reviews on AirBnb. Our tour is also unique because we cover a LOT of ground! You will see more of NYC in 6 hours than most people see in 6 days! And you will have your own personal tour guide with you every step of the way. This is NOT like one of those "hop on hop off" bus tours where you're basically left alone. Your guide will be with you to answer your questions and teach you all of his New York Secrets every step of the way!
These are also smaller tours than the big bus tours, we generally have only around 12 people on a tour so everyone gets individual attention and your tour guide is there for you every step of the way.
PS: If you want a private tour or a date not on the calendar please message us.
