A must-do New York City private tour!

As a small group of friends, we wanted to see a lot! Our exceptional guide, Monia, led us through 15km of NYC's best in just 7 hours. Her knowledge and passion made this historical walking tour truly unforgettable, and the art tour of the MET was amazing. 5* experience!

Incredible New York walking tour!

Great start to your trip as the guide gives you all the insightful information on where to go, what to see, and where to eat. I immensely enjoyed the city's highlights and learning the history and development of the Big Apple. Thanks for the recommendation for the ghost tour - it was great! I highly recommend this tour to be your first thing to do!

FAQ – New York Walking Tours

Can you just walk around Manhattan?

Yes, but an organized Manhattan Walking Tour gives your visit much more context than just strolling on your own. Free tours by foot can be fun for the budget, but they’re often crowded and less personal. With a dedicated guide, you’ll explore iconic neighborhoods, get tips on what’s really worth seeing, and discover the best ways to do it. Popular suggestions include Central Park Carriage Rides for a classic NYC touch, or joining the best NYC boat tour. The evening Harbor Lights Cruise is especially perfect after a walking tour, offering a relaxed end to the day with the city lights sparkling around you.

How much do you tip tour guides in the USA?

Tipping is a customary practice in the USA's service industry. The general gratuity rate is between 10 and 20 percent of the total cost. Remember that this is just a general guideline. You should always consider the specific circumstances and your own satisfaction with the service before deciding on the value of a tip. As tour guides in the USA often depend on tips as a significant part of their income, providing a fair and thoughtful tip is a way to show appreciation for the guide's effort during your tour.

What to do while in NYC?

During your time in the City That Never Sleeps, don’t miss the highlights. Explore this world-famous monument with Statue of Liberty Tickets and take the ferry to Ellis Island. Stroll through Central Park, cross the Brooklyn Bridge, and enjoy the views from the Empire State Building. Visit top museums with Guggenheim Museum Tickets, or step into pop culture at the Friends Experience New York Tickets. In the evening, catch one of the highest rated Broadway shows for a classic NYC night. And if you have extra time, take one of the popular day trips from New York to places like Washington DC or Niagara Falls. For longer stays, a New York City Pass is a smart way to enjoy multiple attractions with great savings.
