New York Private Full Day Tour with a Local Guide: 100% Personalized

Overview

You'll join one of our New York hosts as they show you around the NYC that you want to see! It's one thing to discover a city as a tourist, but a whole different ball game to get to discover the real personality of the city. So even when your host shows you iconic landmarks like Times Square and the Empire State, it will be through their local lens.

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.

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.

We have booked many private tours for our family when we traveled in other US cities and though Europe. I expect the guide to be knowledgeable about the city and provide context to the sites we visit. We gave our guide a list of places we'd like to visit during our 6 hour private tour well in advance. I expected the guide would plan an itinerary and lead us through the day. This did not happen. Of the 8 spots we requested to see, we only made it to 4 locations. Our guide did not have much to share about these locations. It felt more like they viewed their job as transportation facilitator.

A full immersion into New York gems. Mei helped me understanding different aspects of NY by visiting Brooklyn, Dumbo, Chelsea and and by taking the ferry, bus and subway

We opted for the 8 hour tour and it was worth every penny. I sent our guide my desired itinerary with all of the things we’d like to see. Olga made it happen! She was so professional and very personable. She took us to local spots that were not packed with tourists, which we loved. We walked over 11 miles, so be prepared to walk a lot if you have several things you’d like to see. Olga was so well versed with directions in the city, history, art, and all of the buildings we came across. She also curated the tour to match our values and lifestyle. We appreciated her pointing out Catholic Churches along the way and she even took us into the Trump tower-which was totally cool! 11/10 recommend Olga if you want a flawless experience.

Thank you for sharing such a glowing review! It’s fantastic to hear how Olga turned your itinerary into a seamless, personalized, and memorable 8-hour experience. From uncovering hidden gems to tailoring the experience to your values and interests, she clearly went above and beyond. Walking over 11 miles and still loving every moment speaks volumes—11/10 indeed!
