About Tour Guide Roger L.
I’m Roger, founder of tour company which offers an amazing experience in Chinatown. I am a 6-time Emmy Award-winning producer. Raised in Manhattan’s Chinatown, I lead immersive experiences like the Chinatown Underworld Experience and The Flavors of Asia, revealing the hidden stories, culture, and cuisine of this historic NYC neighborhood. My tours are provided by myself and occasionally by my best fellow guide Bernice.

A Note on Weekend Tours
If you book a weekend tour, you’ll be guided by my business partner, Bernice. She grew up with her own ties to the neighborhood and has amazing stories to share.
Bernice brings a personal touch, weaving in memories and insights that give you a different but equally rich perspective on the community. Guests always love her warmth, humor, and the way she makes history feel alive.
Whether you’re with me during the week or with Bernice on weekends, you’ll get the same care, passion, and authentic storytelling. We work closely together to make sure every tour feels special.

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.

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).
