Overview

See NYC like you would with a knowledgeable friend living in the city. With a New York native matched to you by interest, personality and more, you will get to see and do all the things you want on your terms. Go at your own pace, keep your experience spontaneous or plan it as much as you would like, the tour is entirely customized. This way you can build a proper understanding of the city through its people. See both the many iconic attractions and the infinite number of locally loved off-the-beaten-path places. Our handpicked local hosts have a wide range of interests, backgrounds and ages but all of them share a love of NYC and are very likeable & knowledgeable. We ask you to fill in a questionnaire once you book to help us match you to the right host who then will not only tailor your experience to your needs but also help you properly explore and begin to understand what makes NYC tick by digging into its culture through its people.

Meeting points

Upon booking your meeting point can be arranged (e.g. your hotel/accommodation), however this MUST be confirmed and agreed by the experience planners in advance.

Mei was an excellent guide, would thoroughly recommend!

Published on Aug, 2024

Mei was very professional, friendly and customised the tour for me. I wanted to see Art Deco buildings but also needed to take breaks to sit down. Mei was very accommodating, caring and fun. She recommended other parts of the city and outer areas to visit too. Mei knows the city like the back of her hand, having been a resident for 30 years. I would recommend Mei highly and look forward to more tours with her.

Bucket List !!

Published on Oct, 2022

Mindy Cohen was a fabulous guide. Very knowledgeable, humorous, and patient (at times I’m sure she felt as though she was herding cats!). There is no way we could have seen all the wonderful sites of New York City on our own. Thank you!, Chuck and Ann W., and our service dog, Sammy.

Walking the highline.

Published on Feb, 2020

Was sure to include the places we wanted to see as well as a few secret places. Humored us where we wanted to eat even their was out of the way.

New York City Private and Pertsonalised Walking Experience.

Published on Sep, 2019

I loved evey minute of The Walk. The Lady was Great and The Lady took me to want I wanted to see. Enjoyed and The Lady was Just Great and enjoyed her Company. Rosie.

Great experience with Nicole!

Published on Jul, 2019

My best friend and I booked a 3 hour walking tour of NYC while in town for a girls weekend. Nicole was FANTASTIC! She met us at our hotel, took us to the places we wanted to see and much more. We really loved that she took us to the High Line and Hudson Yards - two places we never would’ve thought of. Everything she told us was helpful for the rest of our trip. The best part though was that she kept in touch with us via email for the rest of our weekend. She gave us great recommendations for restaurants, neighborhoods, bars, and shopping. We got along really well with her; City Unscripted did a great job with the match. Everything she told us was reiterated on other tours we took so she def gave us accurate info and advice. Would 100% use this company in the future for other tours and cities!
