New York City, Private & Group Tours
Beyond guidebooks. Beyond checklists. Real connection, with the city and the people who love it.
"Exploring New York with a friend who knows the rhythm of the city, that's what Jen from the City feels like."
Your guide
Hi, I'm Jen from the City, and this is a message to anyone coming to New York City.
With over 15 years of experience as an NYC tour guide, I do it all: walking tours, bike tours, bus tours (including double-deckers), and ferry tours. I don't pick just one way to explore the city, I love it all.
My mission is simple: to connect real New York to real guests through unforgettable NYC tours and make the city feel like yours.
