Our Team & Guides
All of our guides are licensed, local and experienced.
Charlie
Charlie was born in Paris but grew up on the French West Indies island of Saint-Martin. She has been living in NY for almost 10 years, in every borough except Queens! She is also a french literature teacher at L’Alliance NY and mother of 2 little girls.
She decided to become a tour guide because she loves NY and because she loves to learn as much as she enjoys teaching. Her favorite place to show people is Greenwich village, because it reminds her of the gorgeous streets of Europe but with the great NYC vibe that has her heart.
Morgan
Originally from Alaska, Morgan is a full-time guide living in West Harlem and leading tours around the city.
He’s been in all 50 states and dozens of countries and he loves to show people how New York shapes (and is shaped by) the rest of the world.
Michele
Michele fell in love with NYC after relocating from the west coast decades ago.
Her favorite things about New York are the fast-paced energy, the diversity, the skyline, the food, and exploring the city by foot.
Michele loves meeting people from around the world, and sharing the past and present of this vibrant city. In addition to guiding tours, Michele works in event productions ranging from fashion shows to weddings. Michele loves biking to Coney Island and other beaches on her days off.
Lara
Lara is an actress, tour guide, and death doula currently residing in Queens. Over the 15 years she’s lived in NYC, she is still very much enchanted by walking around, exploring this great city she calls home. She also shares her adventures around town as the social media personality on TikTok for Like A Local Tours.
Seth
Seth Zakula is an actor, comedian, and tour guide living in Brooklyn since 2011. He loves showing groups around this incredible city he has made his home.
Svetlana
I’m a French-American from Normandy, New Yorker by heart since 2014. I was a tour guide in France and I came to NYC to study the Tenement Museum, the city’s Architecture and History, and the People who made this city. In my tours, you’ll learn about those three and more, from my love of this place as an outsider first, then as a Brooklynite and an American citizen now. I like to think that I will make it fun too!
Outside of my NYC tour guide life, I also teach a range of classes in French in a private institute. I enjoy drawing, walking around NYC, and going to live music events!
Brendan
I am native New Yorker born and raised in Manhattan. I have been a licensed NYC Tour Guide since 2013 and love showing my hometown to everyone from locals to first timers. When not leading tours I am also working on various film, tv and theater projects.
Christine
Christine is an actor, writer and comedian who has been living blissfully in Brooklyn for the past four years! Originally from Ohio, Christine has always loved all things New York, and that love has kept on growing since she became a tour guide in 2021. When she’s not giving tours, you can find Christine performing in comedy shows throughout the city, thrifting around her neighborhood of Bushwick, getting her nails done, or going to the bodega to grab a little snack. She can’t wait to share New York with you!
David
David has been in love with New York ever since moving here in 2009. He worked for two of the city’s top restaurant groups during a decade-long career in NYC hospitality, and remains obsessed with its culinary scene. He is an improviser, actor, musician, and all around solid dude.
Chris
Chris Goodrich is a tour guide and theater director originally from Nashville, TN. He moved to Brooklyn in 2015, and has fallen in love with the restaurant scene in New York. He attended the University of Miami where he received his BFA.
Justin
Justin is an award winning writer, actor and filmmaker who loves NYC! He loves guiding people around the city he loves, and seeing their faces when learning about it’s history. The best part about being a tour guide, according to him, is bringing the city alive for people and exposing them to facts and truths they didn’t know, whether you’re an out of towner or lived here you’re whole life. However, Justin’s favorite part about being a tour guide is, less face it, the food. NYC is a melting pot of seemingly every culture on earth so naturally you can get authentic anything of everything in NYC and Justin loves giving people the chance to try some of the best food not only NYC has to offer, but the world. No matter the group size, Justin aims to make every tour a personal experience you won’t soon forget!
