See It All New York City Walking and Boat Guided Tour
Description
This unique tour is hosted by an experienced tour guide who is a native New Yorker. You will learn about the history and culture of New York City and you'll also learn "secrets" that you would not be able to find out on your own. Your experienced tour guide has hundreds of 5 star reviews on AirBnb. Our tour is also unique because we cover a LOT of ground! You will see more of NYC in 6 hours than most people see in 6 days! And you will have your own personal tour guide with you every step of the way. This is NOT like one of those "hop on hop off" bus tours where you're basically left alone. Your guide will be with you to answer your questions and teach you all of his New York Secrets every step of the way! These are also smaller tours than the big bus tours, we generally have only around 12 people on a tour so everyone gets individual attention and your tour guide is there for you every step of the way. PS: If you want a private tour or a date not on the calendar please message us.

Roger was an enthusiastic storyteller and a generally friendly person. He answered all of our questions on the tour and even though it was a very hot day, he was good about keeping us in the shade as much as possible. And he offered to take photos of us at every tour stop, which was nice. The tour is a great introduction to NYC!
Our tour guide, ROGER, was the absolute best! He is a native New Yorker and very informative. We toured ALL of the top spots while taking pictures for us. Although we walked 10 miles, he was patient and catered to our every need! I would 1000% recommend this tour to everyone visiting NYC for the first time!
A lot of ground covered on the walk taking 5 hours and tour finished with an hour ferry ride to Statten Island and back. This boat trip is on the free commuter ferry with a few thousand other people. Not really " a boat cruise". Our guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. The trip back to our hotel from the Port was via the subway which worked well.
Roger made the tour absolutely awesome. He was a joy to be around — full of energy, engaging, and clearly invested in making the experience worthwhile. He was very informative and knowledgeable at each stop, and he treated everyone in our group with courtesy and care. We had 10 people from three different families, and Roger kept the pace comfortable while making sure no one missed anything. Well done, Roger, and thank you for helping us create new family memories.
Great itinerary and well paced walk. Our guide, Tim, was excellent. He was knowledgeable and fun, sharing lots of interesting facts. I thoroughly recommend this experience.
5/5. We loved Roger, so attentive and looked out for us all the way to the very end, he knew all our names and shared so much info on the tour! Loved it!!
Pat was very good. Lots of information
Great tour. Guide excellent. Really helped us get to know are way around. Would recommend to any first timers for sure.
Roger was a great tour guide, friendly, knowledgable and interested in the people he was with, would recommend Roger 100%
Tim Rosen’s New York walking tour and Central Park tour were absolutely fantastic. Traveling with a group of 17 (8 kids and 9 adults), he tailored the experience perfectly—engaging the kids while still making it meaningful and enjoyable for everyone. We saw so many highlights without feeling rushed, and it was truly one of the best ways to experience the city. Tim was knowledgeable, organized, and wonderful with our group—I would highly recommend him to any family visiting New York.
