Tour Offerings For Fall 2020 + Winter 2021
/New York City is the greatest city in the world, with new places, people and stories to discover (or rediscover) each and every day, whether you’re a lifelong area resident, a recent transplant, or anything in between. This is your chance to explore a part of the city you’ve always wanted to check out, or rediscover a familiar part of the Big Apple in a whole new light. It’s also a fun way to support local businesses!
For now, we are focusing on private tours that can help locals and families experience their own city anew. We will also strive these to keep competitively priced during this time. All tours will operate with 10 people max, to ensure an experience that is both safe and personalized.
These include:
Central Park Private Tour: A private version of our popular Central Park walk. This 2.5-hour tour explores the best of this world-famous park, and delves into how Frederick Law Olmsted & Calvert Vaux changed NYC forever with its unique creation.
Billionaires Row: Rise of the Supertalls!: This unique tour focusing on modern architecture and urban policy looks at the new skyscraper boom. It also discusses the factors that led to this: from economic factors, to zoning loopholes, and the ensuing controversies.
Lower East Side Street Art Tour: This neighborhood has been a hub of art for decades, and its thriving street art & graffiti scene today continues this legacy. This 2-hour walk will explore the best of this.
Brooklyn Street Art Tour: Our most popular art tour focuses on the world-famous street art scene in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Learn how one neighborhood resident worked to make his area a global magnet for amazing art.
Prospect Park Private Tour: A private version of our popular Prospect Park walk. Explore Brooklyn's scenic treasure, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux after their completion of Central Park. Learn why Olmsted and Vaux came to prefer this park to their original Manhattan masterpiece.
Bronx Art Deco Architecture Tour: This walk will explore a historic district filled with the city’s most stunning Art Deco residential architecture.
Queens World’s Fair Nostalgia Tour: As a Queens native, I’ve always encouraged more tourism of NYC’s largest & most diverse borough. This 2-hour tour focuses on the legacy and remaining structures of the 1939 and 1964 Worlds Fairs.
This sampling of private tours will be offered from now through early 2021.
This is in addition to our standard public tour offerings, like our Midtown Art Deco Tour or our High Line & Hudson Yards or Victorian Flatbush explorations, and we can still provide custom tours based around your interests.
As part of our other safety protocols as New York moves through its reopening, we are also requiring masks (or other face coverings) for all guests, and we will be offering complimentary bottles of hand sanitizer. These tours will also avoid crowded interior spaces, largely focusing on outdoor explorations.
We encourage locals to come explore your own city, as we show the world what New York resiliency looks like.
