Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Harlem, 110th to 150th streets, New York City, NY

Get what you want out of your experience - try globally influenced flavors as you sample some of Harlem's classic soul food dishes

Pass By: Brooklyn Bridge, New York City, NY 10038

You could walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, maybe at night? Let us paint the picture- the moon overhead, stars reflected in the East River below- truly magical.

Pass By: Bronx Museum of the Arts, 1040 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10456-3901

Catch an exhibition or live jazz act at the Bronx Museum of the Arts- if you feel super cultured

Pass By: Brooklyn, Brooklyn, New York

Microbreweries, prohibition brew houses and NY pizza (enough said).

Pass By: Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY

Roam around this hip(ster) spot, seeing what there is to see, eating what there is to eat and shopping what there is to shop. Head’s up, there’s a lot of all of the above.

Spot vivid street art, sift through thrift stores, pop into impossibly cool boutiques, muse over contemporary art in a small gallery, peruse the local flea market or just kick it on a barge overlooking the Manhattan skyline.

Pass By: Greenwich Village, 14th Street and West of Broadway 1A, New York City, NY 10014

If you’ve ever wondered what New York tastes like, you’ll find out on in Greenwich Village. You’ll could on the dishes that are close to every New Yorker’s heart, from warm-from-the-oven choc’ chip cookies to creamy New York cheesecake, to Sicilian-style arancini - decadent bites of fried rice stuffed with dreamy combos like Bolognese sauce and melted cheese.

Snack in a classic ‘mom and pop’ shops as you hear about the Italian immigrants who brought their incredible food culture with them, indulge in a freshly filled cannoli and float away into New York food heaven as you bite into classics like bagels with lox or a door-stopper sized pastrami sandwich.

Pass By: Grand Central Terminal, 89 E 42nd Street, New York City, NY 10017-5503

You’ll see the iconic skyscrapers and landmarks - hello Grand Central - but the twist is, it will be through the eyes of your host. They can’t wait to share with you what they love about the area, where they hang out, and what’s good to eat and drink.

Pass By: Midtown, Midtown, New York City, New York

From Times Square to Rockefeller to the Empire State, there are more New York landmarks here per square metre than anywhere else in the city (probably, we haven’t had this fact independently verified…) and your host can’t wait to show them to you!

NOTE: Entrance fees are not included and we recommend that you visit the interior of these attractions autonomously.

Pass By: Meatpacking District, West of Eighth Avenue, New York City, NY 10014

Dimly lit cocktail bars, gallery openings, flagship designer stores and ultra-cool restaurants.

Whether your idea of a good time is more trendy and high-end designer shopping followed by a cocktail, dinner at the latest restaurant opening followed an evening musing over contemporary art, or bar hopping between sleek wine bars and dimly-lit cocktail joints, you’ll find it all here.

Pass By: SoHo, SoHo, New York City, New York

Enjoy the famous Soho and its hidden gems just around the corner from iconic attractions, and wander its historic streets



Pass By: Little Italy, Little Italy, New York City, New York

We would recommend perusing the delis in Little Italy though, which have been in the same families for generations and trying a cannoli or two, then paying homage to NY’s very first pizzeria (by eating a slice, obviously).

Edward was amazing! We booked an 8 hour private tour and got to visit all the sites on our list. Edward was a wealth of knowledge and a native New Yorker who knew the secret ins and outs of the city. With him as our guide we traveled via subway and bus and had a fantastic time. Thanks Edward for everything!

Our tour guide Jason was very accomodating, engaging, and knowledgeable. He was a great resource that made the most of our trip to New York. I would highly recommend him.

This guided tour was great. Bill showed us what we wanted to see and a lot of things we didn’t know we needed do see. One thing though - didn’t think that there would be as much walking (knew there would be some, but not the 10+ klm), and it was so very cool that he changed his plans and we ended up at World Trade Centre. Muchly appreciated ….
