Every private tour comes with your own dedicated local guide. Someone who actually knows this city, knows the stories behind the storefronts, and knows which slice of pizza is worth the walk. And the itinerary? Designed around you. Want to linger longer in one neighborhood? Swap in a different food stop? Add a social impact experience with a local nonprofit? Done.
This is New York on your terms. No cookie-cutter route, no tourist-trap detours, just a fully customized tour built around what your group actually cares about. That’s the private tour difference, and honestly, once you’ve done it this way, it’s hard to go back.

What is included in a private NYC tour?
Every private tour comes with a dedicated local guide, a fully customized itinerary, and food tastings from some of the city’s best independent spots, depending on the tour. No generic group van, no cookie-cutter script. Just real neighborhood stories, great food, and a guide who actually knows where to take you.
How many people can join a private tour?
Groups of 2 to 20 (and sometimes more) are all welcome. Whether you’re planning a birthday dinner crawl for four or a company outing for a full team, we make it work. Just reach out and we’ll sort the details.
Can I customize my private NYC tour itinerary?
Absolutely. Want to spend more time in one neighborhood? Swap out a food stop? Add a social impact experience with a local nonprofit? That’s exactly the point of going private. Tell us what your group is into, and we’ll build something around that.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes! Since it’s a private tour, we have even more flexibility to work around allergies, vegetarian or vegan diets, and other restrictions. Just let us know when you book and your guide will tailor the stops so everyone at the table eats well.
How far in advance should I book a private NYC tour?
We recommend booking at least a few weeks out, especially for weekends and busy travel seasons. Private tours involve more coordination since we’re building the experience around your group, so the earlier you lock in your date, the more flexibility you’ll have on timing and stops.
