Your Itinerary

Central Park

(Pass by)

With five diverse boroughs to explore, it would be impossible to discover all of New York in half a day - so with limited time, what is it that you’d enjoy the most?  You might like to experience Manhattan and could start off at Central Park.

Rockefeller Center

(Pass by)

To discover a particular local neighbourhood or specific area of New York City, there’s no better experience. With a like-minded Local host by your side who shares your passions, you’ll be able to experience not only the main tourist attractions but uncover a few hidden spots that your Local host will hand pick for you.  Passing this Historic Landmark might be exactly what you are looking for.

Madison Square Park

(Pass by)

Stop for a quick bite or coffee break at one of the local’s favourite cafés or street food markets, a hand-picked place that suits your preferences, budget and dietary requirements; and pop into any shops, galleries or places of interest that you stumble across on the way. Madison Square Park is a good spot to enjoy this.

Lower Manhattan

(Pass by)

Get to know your Local host, who will give you recommendations for the rest of your trip so you can continue to eat, drink and see the city like a local; as well as sharing some practical insider tips for how to avoid the tourist traps! 

The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum

(Pass by)

You could end off your experience at this famous site which changed the world as we know it. We’ll be in touch within 24 hours after booking to find out more about your personalities and interests so we can assign a like-minded Local who can create a bespoke experience for you. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience you can always change your mind about what you want to do.  Your Local host may also suggest adjustments or new routes if they feel that there is something just around the corner that you may enjoy, or perhaps if the weather affects your itinerary.  Your Local host will also help you to discover the places, things and stories that you won’t find in a guidebook and that make the city unique.

I love taking tours but rarely take private tours due to cost BUT this tour was worth it. The value for your dollar is worth every penny. They survey you ahead of time to understand your preferences but still lots of flexibility as you go through the day. Although I had been to NYC many times learned some new things and saw different sides of sites I've been to before. Got to shop at some Brooklyn (Williamsburg) Vintage shops and saw some fantastic street art. HIGHLY recommend this personalized tour. Thank you Ross for a great day of history, sites, and fun!!

We visited areas of NY which I had not seen in my previous visits such as Little Italy and China Town. The guide Maurita was very knowledgeable, dedicated and friendly making it a truly wonderful experience. Lots of comments and information of " hidden gems" as well as tips for me . Very recommendable and very glad I took this tour.
