Explore NYC through the lens of a local. This isn’t a scripted tour—it’s your day, your way. After booking, your host will contact you with a short questionnaire to design a custom itinerary based on your interests. Whether you're into art, history, hidden food spots, or skyline views, here are a few stops you might enjoy:
Discover the magic of NYC’s theater district, and let your host share tips for scoring same-day show tickets or recommend their favorite performance venues—even for budget travelers.
Choose your vibe: stroll through a vibrant local Brooklyn community with great food and culture—or take a trip down to Coney Island for classic New York nostalgia and boardwalk charm.
Wander the meadows and shaded paths of NYC’s most iconic green space. Grab a snack on the way and enjoy a laid-back picnic or people-watching session with skyline views.
Take in sweeping harbor views and see Lady Liberty the local way—on the Staten Island Ferry, a scenic and totally free alternative to crowded cruises.
