New York City, Private & Group Tours

NYC the way locals know it.

Beyond guidebooks. Beyond checklists. Real connection, with the city and the people who love it.

"Exploring New York with a friend who knows every corner, that's what Jen from the City feels like."

Jen, your NYC tour guide

Your guide

Hi, I'm Jen, always in search of, never finished.

I've spent years uncovering the real New York: the back streets of Astoria, the hidden trails of Central Park, the storefronts on Fifth Avenue that most people walk straight past. My tours aren't scripted, they're conversations with a city I genuinely love.

My mission is simple: connect real New York to real guests. Every tour balances the iconic with the unexpected, leaving you lighter than when you arrived.
