About Tour Guide Gordon P.

Hi I'm Gordon, a third generation New Yorker.

I've always felt most at home in jazz joints. That's where my people are - the players and the fans; they've inspired me my whole working life:

- I've owned a popular jazz club in Harlem

- Managed top musicians

- Had my jazz photos and articles in major publications

- Been awarded a Proclamation from New York State

For over 25 years, I've been designing and leading immersive jazz crawls through NY's underground scene as the owner of Big Apple Jazz Tours.

We are ranked

# 1 in Nightlife in New York City.

Important

With advance booking of over 2 weeks, I can usually be free anytime.

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!
