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.

The Chinatown Underworld Premium Experience
Discover Chinatown’s hidden history of gangs and power. On this premium tour, we’ll step into a real former gang hideout and explore the dramatic stories that shaped these streets. You’ll hear firsthand accounts from former gang members and the police who confronted them, bringing to life the tension, danger, and resilience of old Chinatown. I’ll connect these untold stories with the neighborhood you see today, showing how a community once divided by crime grew into the vibrant place it is now.

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!

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.
