Private NYC Walking Tours & Rates

Every session is 100% private, conducted entirely on foot, and personally curated to your specific curiosity. We look beyond superficial postcards to reveal the sophisticated “B-side” layers of the streets, framing an unscripted urban story where you are the absolute protagonist of the tour.

“New York is a series of narratives waiting for a lens…”

The metropolis is the most filmed city on Earth, but I am not here to show you movie sets. I am here to help you explore the real city through a cinematic eye. Moving beyond rehearsed guidebook scripts, together we focus the lens on the city’s Chiaroscuro—the dramatic interplay between iconic landmarks and the sophisticated, deep-cut “B-side” histories pulsing right beside them.

THE TRAILER | IL TRAILER

2-Hour Private Tour — $175

A high-impact, fast-paced glimpse into the city’s soul. This is a concentrated 120-minute masterclass in seeing what others miss, cutting the pre-written noise to focus the lens on a single neighborhood or two adjacent areas to capture the essential character of the location.

Bespoke Frames (Examples of the tours we can build together):

• The Brooklyn Contrast: DUMBO’s industrial architecture paired with the historic brownstones of Brooklyn Heights.

THE SHORT SUBJECT | IL CORTOMETRAGGIO

4-Hour Private Tour — $350

My signature half-day narrative. This production allows the screenplay to breathe, connecting the dots across a sequence of adjacent neighborhoods to see how the city’s character shifts block by block across the pavement. Ideal for experiencing New York’s scale while uncovering its deep, living layers.

8-Hour Private Tour — $550

The full-day immersive journey. A collaborative “Director’s Cut” tailored entirely to your specific interests.

• The Brooklyn Epic: A multi-layered odyssey bridging the Polish heritage of Greenpoint, the grit of Williamsburg and Bushwick, and the brownstones of Fort Greene and Brooklyn Heights.

THE METHODOLOGY

The Screenplay vs. The Script

By framing the metropolis around your precise curiosity, we move entirely beyond a traditional, rehearsed script to direct a bespoke screenplay where you are the protagonist of the tour. From focusing the lens tightly on a single historic architectural zone to weaving an expansive, multi-day narrative arc across different boroughs, the pacing of each walk is curated in real-time to let the city’s authentic story unfold.

This is a highly personalized, “directed” experience designed to reveal the exact version of New York that resonates with your personal aesthetic, rhythm, and interests.
