Let me show you New York -- all 5 boroughs -- the way you want to see it. Intrigued by art deco? I can show you the jewels. Love the arts? I can show you where the giants lived -- and where the cutting edge shines. Tracing family roots? Give me the addresses and I can create a personal heritage tour. List your highlights and I'll do all I can to create a memorable tour. Walking tour, subway tour, private car or bus -- the choice is yours. Out-of-the-way neighborhoods? No problem. I pride myself on my knowledge and flexibility, having earned a "distinguished score" on the City's licensing examination (home2.nyc.gov/html/dca/downloads/pdf/07-08_tour_guides.pdf - 2008-07-01). I look forward to meeting you!
