NYC Private Custom Tour by a Local Guide, off-the-beaten-path
Overview
We can’t think of a better way to really get familiar with NY than with a Local by your side! Focusing on a neighbourhood of your choice, discover loved by locals places and get an insight into what life is like for New Yorkers. You’ll see the most famous attractions in the area, but we’ll show you a few hidden gems on the way too! Your route will be fully personalised to what you want to see, and of course include a few spots to stop and refuel with a coffee, a craft beer or some street food.
Our handpicked hosts are culinary connoisseurs and history buffs, bakers and bankers, students and seniors. Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home, they choose to spend their free time sharing it with the like-minded travelers matched to them.
