Luke
Owner and Real NY Tour Guide since 2007
My life as a New Yorker has shaped so much of who I am today: how I walk, talk, what I eat, how I eat it, how I think, feel, and interact with people. I can't help but feel that when I share New York with folks that I am somehow sharing a part of myself as well.
Favorite NYC Restaurant: Caravan Of Dreams, East Village

I grew up in a dancer’s loft in Tribeca and have always loved New York for its assertive energy, eclectic and fun population, variety of artistic and cultural destinations, and abundant delicious food.
My tours are fun and informative, with a welcoming, friendly vibe.

Fabrice
Real NY Tour Guide since 2008
I am one of the lucky ones who find my work to be a passion rather than an obligation. I have been able to travel this fine world while being followed by groups who felt I knew more than them. Here in New York City, I have met my match. This place cannot be tamed, it does not even request it. Wether you are a first time visitor, or the seasoned repeat customer, I am your guide.

Trey
Real NY Tour Guide since 2008
I've been a New Yorker for over 20 years and I've been a tour guide for more than half that time. I'm in love with so many aspects of this great city: from the energy to the architecture, from the history to the pop culture, from the subway system to the diversity of people who use that system. My tours are loose, fun, and funny, and we'll cover all the above-mentioned topics and more.
Favorite NYC Restaurant: The Islands, Brooklyn
