Best of NYC with a Local, Walking Tour (4hrs)
Explore New York City as a true New Yorker does: on foot! Embrace this unique opportunity to explore NYC with me, a lifelong resident who is eager to share its gems with you!
Join me on this curated tour as we traverse the vibrant neighborhoods of New York, each with its own distinct personality. Together, we'll encounter iconic landmarks, relish in local delicacies, and enjoy some of NYC's world-class attractions.
Highlights include walking through the spectacular Central Park, encountering stunning views on the High Line, visiting Chelsea Market, being charmed by the streets of Greenwich Village (a must-see for "Friends" fans), grabbing a bite at one of many iconic eateries in downtown, and ending your day at the historic 9/11 Memorial, One World Trade Center and the Oculus, the most beautiful subway station in the world.
When the day concludes, you'll walk away feeling like a New Yorker with a deep appreciation for the city that never sleeps. I look forward to having you join me on this journey!
