A native New Yorker who speaks both fluent English and Italian, I have been an independent licensed walking tour guide for the past 15 years.
With more than than 800 reviews on Tripadvisor for an average ranking of five stars, I have consistently been awarded the its "Travellers' Choice" award (https://www.tripadvisor.it/Attraction_Review-g60763-d2615666-Reviews-Gite_A_Piedi_New_York_Tours-New_York_City_New_York.html).
I specialize in small groups – no more than 8 people, usually less – and do only one tour a day allowing me to pace my tours according to my guests' needs. I never rush and am very flexible in terms of clients' specific needs, interests, etc.
My tours represent a full immersion experience of New York City's various neighborhoods covering history, culture, immigration history, architecture and much more.
As a father myself who raised two great sons in Manhattan, I welcome small children at no charge. I also offer student discount fares from 12 to 21. In addition. clients who book more than one tour get a discount.
I live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with my wife and, when not actually conducting my walking tours, I spend my time in deep research of New York City past, present and future.
