Real New York Tours gives people the opportunity to see the city through the eyes of real New Yorkers.

We’ll ride the New York subway, pound the pavement, and meet the people who have become the fabric of this great city. Together we will feel the electricity that drives everyday New Yorkers.

My wife and I had a great time at this tour. It covered Greenwich Village, SoHo, Chinatown, Little Italy, Central Park and ended at Times Square. It is a fast paced tour, not much time for pictures (but we still took plenty of pics). But it is also a great experience. This being my first time in NYC, the tour... More

As first timers to New York myself and my husband decided to try the "dozen walking tour". Fantastic is an understatement, our guide Jimmy gave us a complete insight into the history of New York and at the same time gave us invaluable knowledge on how to get our bearings and find our way round New York easily. I would... More

Being 1st time visitors to New York we decided to do the Big Apple Tour. Our tour guide was Shawn and he was fantastic. He met us at our apartment in Chelsea and then took us all over Manhattan. He was full of information and knowledge and he was a great guy. My 2 sons aged 14,10 both thought Shawn... More

We booked a private tour with them for 3 adults in May. Andrew (our guide) contacted us and put together an itinerary that included Greenwich, Soho, Chelsea, Chinatown & Little Italy. We did everything on foot and used the subways so you are not stuck in a car looking out a window. We started the tour after lunch so we... More

A family group of 6 women went to NYC in mid March 2012. One of our best experiences of the trip was the Big Apple Tour with Greg. He met us at our apartment in the morning and then led us through an amazing informative day. Greg was very friendly and obviously took pride in and enjoyed sharing his incredible... More

This tour was an excellent beginning to our first mother-daughter trip to NYC. Our guide was Trey, who is also an actor, and he was very entertaining and informative. He has lived in NYC for 15 years, and he made us feel like we were his friends or relatives, and he was showing us his favorite places to go in... More

I am originally from Scotland and moved to Boston, MA around 2 years ago for work. I was initially drawn to New York because I did not want to miss the opportunity to see the 'big apple' I initially booked onto the Dozen Apples tour myself and had a fantastic time. Since this tour I have returned several times to... More

We have visited NYC three times before and we really wanted to spend time in the various neighborhoods. Our guide, Max met us at our hotel at 9:30 am and we were... More

This being our 2nd time visiting NYC, we realized we wanted to experience the city. We did the Bus tour on our first visit, and you get to see lots. But if you wanted to experience an area you have to get off the Bus, then have no one to show you around, so you don't really get a feel... More
