Iren G.

I fell in love with New York the moment I set foot here. It's been over 30 years now. I love this city so much that I became an NYC tour guide. I enjoy showing people different faces of NYC - from the bustling city of skyscrapers to the quiet streets of out-of-the-tourists-way neighborhoods. I love telling stories of people who made New York what is it - the self-made millionaires, famous writers, daring architects, beautiful and powerful women. I can show you major landmarks as well as secret spots and cozy old bars where you can feel NYC history. I can take you to places where sounds of jazz rule the night and people swing-dance - a dance which was born in Harlem, NY, and had swept the world with its infectious joy. I'm a licensed sightseeing guide with many years of experience. I'm truly fascinated with the unique history of New York City and love to share my passion for it. I've studied History of Art at Harvard Extension School (Cambridge, Mass) and New School (NYC) and took classes on NYC Architectural History at Cooper Union (NYC).

Jonathan G.

Hello there! I am Jonathan and I'm so excited to share my New York City with you! I have family roots in New York City stretching back over a hundred years, mirroring the classic immigrant experience from Ellis Island to the Lower East Side. This background has inspired an ongoing quest for the best of the city past and present, from the suspension cables of the Brooklyn Bridge to the hot pastrami at Katz’s deli. I moved from the depths of Jersey to Manhattan’s Morningside Heights at 18 for college and have since split his time between Tel Aviv and New York City. I studied American History at Columbia University under Kenneth Jackson, one of the all time great historians of New York City. After college I worked in finance before heading back to school in Israel to study for an MA in Archeology from Bar Ilan University. I currently guide tours in both New York and Israel, depending on the season. I love exploring the city’s history, from the footprints of George Washington to Malcolm X, and discovering hidden gems from the best pizza slice to the coolest dive bar. New York City is an endless playground of culture, history, and energy where every day seems to yield a new adventure.

Sylvie D.

My journey to becoming a tour guide is rooted in a lifelong passion for culture, creativity, and connection. I’ve always been drawn to the richness of human expression—through travel, music, art, and fashion—and how these elements reveal the true spirit of a place. Over time, I realized that what moved me most wasn’t just seeing new places, but feeling them: understanding their rhythm, their stories, and their soul. New York City has long held a special place in my heart. Its energy, diversity, and layered history constantly inspire me. Becoming a tour guide felt like a natural step—a way to share that inspiration with others. For me, guiding is not just about pointing out sights. It’s about offering an experience that awakens curiosity, fosters understanding, and helps people connect with a place on a deeper level. This work allows me to combine everything I love—storytelling, cultural exchange, personal connection—and turn each tour into a moment of discovery for both the traveler and myself.

Albert J.

I have been providing NYC tours for 14 years and LOVE it. I love introducing the city to new tourists and giving return tourists new experiences. Clients should come away from a tour having learned a few facts, having eaten good food, having had some laughter and... experienced the "Wow!" factor. That is an experience/story that blows them away. As a professional guide and performing artist, actor and educator, I can provide this experience. So join me as I show you hightlights of what the Big Apple is most famous for and for a personal journey in seeing how NYC connects to you in ways you would not have imagined!

Dave G.

I am a New York City tour guide and have been doing bus tours for 14 years and walking tours for eight. I can easily do a standard tour on, say, Central Park, Greenwich Village, or the World Trade Center but I offer a general tour with many popular places in New York. I also have my own niche tour of "Titanic Sites in New York City". I like tour-guiding in the city because I am also a tourist and I like to feel the vicarious thrill of visitors. Being a tour-guide AND a tourist, I have traveled to Nova Scotia, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Anchorage, Cleveland, Niagara Falls, Washington DC, London, Liverpool, Belfast, Bangkok, Singapore, Philippines, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Fukuoka, Yokohama, Nara, Shizuoka, Hiroshima, Miyajima Island, Mt. Kosaya, Mt. Fuji and many other places.
