About Tour Guide 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.
Important
Fair weather is generally recommended but poorer weather works for less crowds.

The Best of New York Sights in a Day
My tour will be the sampler of the best of New York City in one day. I will guide us through the best-of-the-best with lots of photo ops included. I will also include pop-culture moments you will likely know-and-love from TV-and-movies like Friends, Enchanted, Spider-Man, King-Kong, I Am Legend, Ghostbusters, James and the Giant Peach, Godzilla, SATC, and many more... I can also be flexible and, where possible, add a destination - provided it does not require waiting in a long queue.

Stories of the West Side, New York Walking Tour
My tour will be the best-of-the-best of the old-and-the-new on the West Side of Manhattan with lots of photo ops included. I include sites that are very new in places that are very old. We will relive the history of the construction of the great piers and the ships they brought to America. I can also be flexible and, where possible, add a destination - provided it does not require waiting in a long queue.

The World Trade Center, Above Ground and Below.
I will be talking about the original World Trade Center, the attacks of 9/11, and the rebuilding effort. My tour will bring you around the area of the World Trade Center and will include structures-and-buildings both original and newly-built. We will have lots of photo-ops and options for lunch.

Beautiful Central Park
My tour of Central Park will guide guests through the brilliance of the crown jewel of Manhattan, Central Park. The surrounding vista has changed, as a city does, but many timeless views remain the same. From statues to skating rinks, from bridges to boathouses, I will show you movie settings and more.

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.

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!
