Overview

See NYC like you would with a knowledgeable friend living in the city. With a New York native matched to you by interest, personality and more, you will get to see and do all the things you want on your terms. Go at your own pace, keep your experience spontaneous or plan it as much as you would like, the tour is entirely customized. This way you can build a proper understanding of the city through its people. See both the many iconic attractions and the infinite number of locally loved off-the-beaten-path places.

Our handpicked local hosts have a wide range of interests, backgrounds and ages but all of them share a love of NYC and are very likeable & knowledgeable. We ask you to fill in a questionnaire once you book to help us match you to the right host who then will not only tailor your experience to your needs but also help you properly explore and begin to understand what makes NYC tick by digging into its culture through its people.
