Nyc Private Tour With A Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems, 100% Personalized

Ed was exceptional. He’s very knowledgeable about everything old and new. Ed knew his way perfectly around the city, guiding us through so many of the must-see architecture and attractions. He was flexible and easy going. He navigated us through the subway rides like a pro. Ed is friendly, laid back, and got us in to a few premier spots for a quick look, even though we didn’t have a reservations. We highly recommend Ed for your NYC tour.

We loved our private walking tour and would advise anyone going to New York to do it! Edward Rothstein was a super guide, knowledgeable, friendly, interesting and helpful. He made sure we experienced the sights that we most wanted to see and yet it was a relaxing tour. He also made suggestions which greatly enhanced our enjoyment of our visit and offered help and recommendations about geting around and eating out which were invaluable. Pat & Greig McPhail

Pleasant walk in Brooklyn. Olgawasan excellent guide. Personalized program fitted to our preference

Jason was great! He tailored our tour to our interests and was so knowledgeable about the history of NYC and also current events and facts about the city. We highly recommend Jason for a private walking tour during your visit.

We had such a great experience discovering the gorgeous Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO. This is our annual girls weekend to city and have explored so much in the past so we were looking for a unique tour, something new, and this was awesome. Our guide, Olga, was very knowledgeable, interesting, and adapted to our interests. Would highly recommend her as a tour guide in NYC!

We wanted an overview of NYC to get our bearings since we'd never been here before. Ross was prompt, polite, and informative. A great way to start our trip. He got us comfortable on the subway and took us all over, and saw what we were wanting. I highly recommend Ross and this endeavor.

Olga was amazing! We seen so many wonderful sights, we saw the difference in all the boroughs, it was the best birthday trip ever!

Jason our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, communicated great, and was super friendly and fun. We had a great time and could not have asked for a better experience. 5 stars for sure 👍🏻!

Hi We had a private tour with Jason and spent the day exploring New York. We had such a great day, when we booked New York we was worried about getting around the City and judging the timings. Jason was brilliant, planned the day for us, making sure we got see the sights and recommended food venues down to our taste. Totally recommend Thanks

I booked the tour for my 60th birthday and was absolutely amazed by the amount of professionalism, flexibility, adaptability, knowledge and cheerfulness of my tour guide, Olga! What an amazing person! Prior to the tour I was sent a questionnaire where I was asked to explain my desired touring experience, from special interests, to specific places to visit, to specific information I would like to hear, to the desired pace of our walk! Absolute professionalism on behalf of the organizers! Olga was a stunning tour guide, she contacted me in advance to arrange our meeting point (she agreed to pick me up at my hotel!) and to confirm my specific interests for the tour. On the day of the tour she had everything perfectly planned, the route, the trivia, the information, she even came prepared with alternatives in case I was tired from long walks or bored with a specific destination- an absolute professional! Olga is an aficionado foodie and she gave me lots of tips on how to get the best pizza, Italian delicacies, Chinese dim-sum or dumpling soup, and even treated me to a coffee, a slice of pizza and an authentic cannoli from the best place to buy Italian pastries, fresh pasta and groceries. An absolutely delightful climax to an unforgettable four-hour walking tour of one of Manhattan’s most historic districts. Highly recommended!

We had a great time on a private walking tour of Brooklyn with Olga. Olga was prompt, very friendly and knowledgeable about the area of our tour. Olga also showed us a great way to get around via water taxi and helped us navigate the schedule and ticketing. She gave my wife and I a great tour and a memorable experience.

It was really enjoyable to tour the city with Olga. She made us feel like a visiting friend and unlike one of those prepackaged tours we got to experience plenty of areas of the city you do not typically visit.

My wife and I took our NY tour with Olga. She was exceptional in every respect, prompt, well prepared, and she was very in tune with what we wanted to see so we felt the experience was very tailored to us. She was working the entire time, sending me links that she thought we could use for the rest of your trip and she even was thoughtful enough to give us a little gift at the end of the tour. I would highly recommend Olga for anyone wanting an extraordinary experience

I had an amazing day with Olga in New York City! From the start to the end - my day was just fantastic! Olga is so knowledgable, she knows the city and hidden gems so well, she knows the history and arts - everything that I am interested in during a city trip.

We spent a full day with Jason P. in New York City and it was the highlight of our trip!! He was super knowledgeable about the city and very flexible with what we did. Travelled with my 21 year old daughter and he made us feel very safe and comfortable and explained everything we were seeing as we went along. We learned and saw so much in one day and went at a pace that was perfect for us. Great experience from start to finish and would recommend to anyone wanting to really explore a new city

We had a full day of guiding with Mei in NYC. Been to Manhattan a lot and we wanted to see a different side of New York. She met us in Harlem and from there took us in her car to Fort Tyron then to Williamsburg. All in all very good.

We had a great walking tour with Maurita on the afternoon of the day we arrived. It was a great way to familiarise ourselves with the city and have the opportunity to ask a local for any tips or advice we needed. Maurita contacted us before the tour and asked if we had any specific requests or interests and was flexible on the day. Would highly recommend it.

Olga was absolutely delightful. She put so much care and thought into planning the route for my 3 hour personalised walking tour of NYC. It was the highlight of my work trip and I never would've learnt so much about the city, it's architecture and found little hidden gems otherwise. Highly recommend!

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 ….

Edward was knowledgeable, animated, enthusiastic, personable and a joy to spend time with! Will definitely recommend this tour!

Mei was great and go extra mile to have customer to feel comfortable and have peace of mind throughout the tour.

Maurita of City unscripted showed us New York south of 23rd West street. She has been an excellent guide, very knowledgable of the local areas, Wall Street area, China Town, little Italy, Brooklyn Bridge, Greenwich, West Village. We truly enjoyed her company and historic knowledge. Highly recommended.

I gave a list of places to our guide and he listened and hit them all for us. It's a great option if you don't mind walking a lot.

Maurita was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. She knows the City well. We had fun going to many great bars and clubs. She took us to many places we would not have found. She also listened to our desires and found us some great Jazz Bands. This tour is well worth it!

Maurita, took us on a wonderful 8hr walking tour of New York City. It didn't get off to a good start as she was late due to the vagaries of New York trains but she soon warmed up. She took the trouble to take 10 minutes at our hotel with us to plan what we would particularly like to see and then modified her planned route accordingly. We took the subway to Battery Park at the south tip of Manhattan and then walked from there to Wall Street, the World Trade Center memorial, the Brooklyn Bridge, NYPD 1 Police Precinct, Chinatown for lunch, Little Italy and Greenwich Village for a cocktail. She then pointed us in the right direction to visit the Empire State Building on our own and took her leave at 7pm. She was very knowledgeable about the various site and of NY in general and we all greatly enjoyed the tour.

We had an amazing tour with Maurita. We started at the auburn Square farmers market and then traveled to historical stops and the best restaurants. All carefully planned and informative. Each stop was awesome and places I would never know to go otherwise. Maurita was friendly, informed and we enjoyed spending the afternoon with her. Highly recommend!!

I loved seeing Dyker heights and the view from the Brooklyn Bridge toward Manhattan. I have been to NYC many times but this was a completely new experience

Maurita was fantastic! She guided our family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 kids under the age of 12, through local eateries with a touch of history. The history and culture part was interesting enough for the adults and not too boring for the kids. Which is a definite win. The kids thought they were just eating their way through the city but little did they know they were learning some historical tidbits, Thats a definite win in my book. Highly recommend Maurita. She was a fantastic guide :)

Ed is an excellent guide - knowledgeable and full of interesting anecdotes about the places we visited. It was my first time in NYC and I had a wonderful time exploring iconic spots in Brooklyn with someone who knows the area well. He even extended the tour by an hour, which I appreciated! I'd also like to shoutout to Kristin from City Unscripted - the guide I'd originally been paired with had to back out at the last minute due to a personal emergency, and Kristin was excellent at communicating the situation with me and ensuring that I got a replacement guide in time. All in all a great experience!

Loved our walking tour with Maurita. She was very attentive to what we wanted to see. Gracious with our pace and stops for photos. Highly recommend a tour with Maurita!

Dean was a WONDERFUL guide for our family of 3 visiting the City. Was very attentive from the beginning of our day together to get a sense of our interests, outlining a possible itinerary based on our needs and was outstanding in giving a fabulous blend of history, personal experiences and even obscure information about famous sites. He was a perfect blend of easy going nature, offering interesting information and had a wide range of knowledge. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Had the best time on my private tour with Maurita. We saw iconic spots as well as unique locations..

Maurita gave us a wonderful tour with the perf3ect combination of food and local history. Highly recommend!

We did a 4 hour walking tour with Ross. He did a great job of providing insight and history of the city. Very flexible in making modifications to the tour. Highly recommend Ross and this tour.

I wanted in off the beaten Trail died. I was interested in cultural and ethnic communities and see New York from a New Yorkers point of view. And my guide delivered 100%. I feel like I really learned information about what it's like to live and breathe in New York City as a dweller... Not just a tourist looking at sites

Mei was the best host we could have asked for! We were a group of 6 native New Yorkers and we learned so much! I had even lived a few blocks from our meetup point in Greenwich Village, but Mei was able to show us tons of art, cool locations, and food that I had never seen or tried before. We will definitely be booking a tour with Mei again!

With things returning to life after 2020, it was difficult to find a guided food tour. Luckily, I found this one and they were happy to accommodate me. I knew going into this, that it's probably going to be a bit different with shops and restaurants opening back up, so I kept an open mind. Maurita was extremely helpful with planning since I really had no idea what was available. We went to 2 pizzerias and 2 breweries. Some people like to run through as many as possible, but since it was just the two of us and we were having a great time, I definitely didn't want to rush through anything. The two pizzerias included Vinnie's and Screamer's. The two breweries included Brooklyn Brewing and Keg And Lantern. All of which were unique and showcased two very different sides of their respective craft. Keep in mind, I was a solo traveller and your experience may vary. This is a walking beer and pizza tour, not a history of Brooklyn tour. You're sharing a food and drinking experience with a local resident. You will have a good time because beer and pizza make things better. I'm defiantly looking forward to another return to the area and I will defiantly take this tour again. I would highly recommend it.

I had an amazing experience that will last a lifetime my guide was super knowledgeable about the history of Harlem and the culture. I highly recommend this guide to newbie’s and foodies.

The favorite part of experience was meeting someone new . Future travelers plan ahead and enjoy NYC experience with City Unscripted

Kamilla was a wonderful host. She has shown us the wonderful world off the beaten track, real areas where people live and work. The tour of Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO and Williamsburg was a real treat! Thank you, Kamilla!

We had an amazing day with Edward, you don’t know how your going to click for an 8 hour private tour. He took time in our walking to chat with each of us individually and knows so much about his city. I have taken many tours before so to be able to do a tour I created the location was so much fun. I would highly recommend this tour and our guide!

If I really start telling, then no one feels like watching ;) it would be a little book. If you come to NY with limited time, book a guide right here. Olga, speaks great German, for whom this is massive. She is very friendly, devoted and also patient and adaptable. Not every guide likes to deviate from their own ideas. Very different Olga. Even before the trip we talked intensively and understood each other very well. She's a great person. With us things went wrong on arrival, our luggage has remained in London. We were stressed and a bit very disappointed. Olga made up for it all. She addressed each of us, three generations 70, 50, 22, individually. Even after our time together, she never tired of sending us lively tips and ideas for the next day. She knew us well and picked out great things for everyone. Also she was worried and tried to help us with our lost luggage and to assist us. THANK YOU Olga, stay as you are, you are fantastic. Get to know NY with Olga or maybe get to know Olga and see something of NY on the side.

It was a great tour! We all learned so many things we didn't know about cooler Manhattan neighborhoods
