Welcome to New York City Tour
Overview
This tour is for people who've never been to New York but who want to use the subway and buses like a New Yorker! We will give you the self confidence in effortlessly traveling uptown, downtown, & crosstown whether by bus or train! 4 million people do it every day, so why not you? We will help you and your companions get the most out of your limited time here and plan your agenda!
We will meet you at your hotel, or at the Bryant Park Fountain at Sixth Ave and West 41st Street, demonstrate how to get around via subway, bus, taxi, or foot, and give you the official NYC Subway Map and show you how to read it!
Pick a neighborhood or from the list above, and we will show you around that place, or we can design a personalized walking tour for you starting at your hotel. After our 2½ hours together, you’ll be a confident, educated NYC traveller!
This is a customized tour, if the date you want isn't available, email me and I may be able to accommodate you.
