For the third time, we managed to get a big apple greeter. We requested to visit The Bronx and discovered many hidden treasures and shops. We had lunch together. The greeter then offered to take us to gospel church in Harlem on Sunday, which we did and which was a great discovery as well. Definitely recommended, for first time visitors... More

We were met at our hotel making it more than convenient for us. We had decided to visit The Highline and Chelsea area. Our greeters name was Ron, Ron made us feel so welcome that we felt we had known him forever. We really enjoyed having this 'one on one' greeter that was not only informative about the area but...

We ... 3 generations of us have just returned from NYC and met our greeter David on our first day and what a great day it was! David showed us so much of NYC and how to use the subway, it was just a fantastic day had by all .We explored the city and saw parts that we would never... More

Terrible organisation. I informed my arrival 3-4 months beforehand - but no possibility at the time of arival. The demanded a personal US mobilnumber. I bought it and informed Greeters about the number. Nevertheless they did not contact me on that specific number - but instead disturbed my NYC host several times on her private number. They did not at... More

My daughter and I travelled to NYC to celebrate her birthday and wanted to experience the city like an insider. Here's comes the Big Apple Greeter. Our Greeter, Clyde T., was so instrumental in showing us how to use the subway and bus systems, that we managed to navigate the city for the remainder of our trip. He took us... More

Meeting with a Greeter was one of the smartest things my friend and I did while we were in NYC. Nothing can beat the knowledge who's been living in NYC for more than 7 decades! There are just some things that a guide book can't tell you. We initially requested for a tour of "gay New York" and got more... More

So glad we found out about Big Apple Greeter. Our greeter (Lewis) spent the day with us and we had a great time. We certainly wouldn't have seen all the sites we wanted to see without his help. The only way to see New York is through the eyes of someone who's lived there their whole life. After Lewis' explanation... More

I know these are supposed to be recent reviews, but I spent a day with a Big Apple Greeter back in 1995, and it was a fantastic day. I cannot recommend this highly enough. I saw so much that it isnt possible to recount specific details, but to be guided by a knowledgeable local is an opportunity not to be... More

It free, Its safe, Its history, its amazing. Our guide was Charlie Niessner. He knew so much about NY. He took us all over and was so pleasant. This is the best tour in NY for a first time visitor. We saw places and heard stuff the only New Yorkers know.
