AN UPGRADED WAY TO EXPERIENCE NEW YORK CITY

Wouldn't you love to be in complete control of you private experience in New York City? While browsing online, you might have noticed that most private tours have pre-set itineraries. Yes, they are private, but they don't really offer much "wiggle room."  when it comes to customization. These types of pre-set private tours are actually pretty standard.

We do offer a selection of private tours with pre-set itineraries crafted after years of experience & expertise in touring the city. However, we also understand that not everyone is meant for one of these pre-set itineraries. Although we have created all our private itineraries leveraging our years of hands-on experience and expertise as tour guides in NYC, it doesn't mean that they will work specifically for YOU. 

And now more than ever, travelers need a dedicated service that works for them, not a cookie-cutter tour that has been seen and done many times before. This is true for both newcomers and repeat visitors.

So to better serve our clients while keeping it simple and straightforward, we are offering a new way to book our Private Experiences. You just need to select how many hours you will be looking to get and everything else you can decide later. It's that simple. You don't have to read through countless itineraries, get confused about what you really want to see, keep changing your mind because you are "bombarded" by too much information, etc.

Irene was a FANTASTIC tour guide! She was so knowledgeable about the area and was so patient with all our questions. We stopped to use the bathroom and we got coffee halfway through, she was so kind! It was a pleasure learning about Brooklyn from you!

The SATC walking tour is fabulous! Our tour guide was amazing. Friendly, helpful, accommodating and so knowledgeable about the city. It was essentially 2 tours in 1. SATC and visits to historical places in the city. I give this tour 5 stars and definitely recommend. Grab your walking shoes and schedule one today!
