New York City Private Walking Tour With A Personalized Itinerary

New York City Private Walking Tour With A Personalized Itinerary

Overview

Whether it's your first time in the city that never sleeps or you’re a return visitor whose New York internal GPS is a little rusty, you can join your host to get your trip off to a great start. You choose a neighborhood to explore, and then you’re off. Learn how to navigate the tangle of lines on the subway, or how to hail a yellow cab like a local.

Our handpicked hosts are culinary connoisseurs and history buffs, bakers and bankers, students and seniors. Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home, they choose to spend their free time sharing it with the like-minded travelers matched to them.

Within 24 hours of booking you receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Your meeting place and time as well as your itinerary are flexible, so you can plan and experience with your host to meet your needs.

Maurita was our guide and I have to say she was amazing. My son(17) and I were blown away by all the history we learned and we thought we knew a good bit…she was so kind and helped me plan out the rest of my stay so we could see as much as possible in our time. I highly recommend doing this private tour as soon as you get to the city because it helps you get acclimated and know what you want to see and how best to see it. Maurita was really good at showing us great was to save money too-which is always nice in a city as expensive as NYC. I’m 100% sure the tour paid for itself just from her helpful advice and ideas. I truly can’t say enough great things about her and the format of the tour itself. K&J
