New York City Custom Private Tour with a Local Guide

New York City Custom Private Tour with a Local Guide

Overview

See NYC like you would with a knowledgeable friend living in the city. With a New York native matched to you by interest, personality and more, you will get to see and do all the things you want on your terms. Go at your own pace, keep your experience spontaneous or plan it as much as you would like, the tour is entirely customized. This way you can build a proper understanding of the city through its people. See both the many iconic attractions and the infinite number of locally loved off-the-beaten-path places.

Our handpicked local hosts have a wide range of interests, backgrounds and ages but all of them share a love of NYC and are very likeable & knowledgeable. We ask you to fill in a questionnaire once you book to help us match you to the right host who then will not only tailor your experience to your needs but also help you properly explore and begin to understand what makes NYC tick by digging into its culture through its people.

Can’t really give a review of the tour because it never happened. I filled out the questionnaire about what we wanted to see, etc and got a message that our tour was “confirmed” and we would get more information once matched with a guide. The night before our tour I reached out to confirm things and was told they had to cancel due to no guide. Why was the tour ever “confirmed” and would they have ever notified me before we showed up for our tour? Not sure but wouldn’t risk it if you want a for sure thing!

Hello Jennifer, I'm really sorry about the frustration you experienced with the tour cancellation. I completely understand how disappointing it must have been, especially after taking the time to fill out the questionnaire and seeing the tour marked as "confirmed" on the platform. This is not up to our standards, and we're actively enhancing our processes to prevent such occurrences. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to resolve this directly with you and we hope to have the chance to provide the experience you deserve in the future. Warm regards, Kyle and the City Unscripted team.

Mei was very professional, friendly and customised the tour for me. I wanted to see Art Deco buildings but also needed to take breaks to sit down. Mei was very accommodating, caring and fun. She recommended other parts of the city and outer areas to visit too. Mei knows the city like the back of her hand, having been a resident for 30 years. I would recommend Mei highly and look forward to more tours with her.

Mindy Cohen was a fabulous guide. Very knowledgeable, humorous, and patient (at times I’m sure she felt as though she was herding cats!). There is no way we could have seen all the wonderful sites of New York City on our own. Thank you!, Chuck and Ann W., and our service dog, Sammy.
