We go beyond landmarks to explore the hidden history, side streets, architecture, and personalities that shaped the city. We are locals who live it, breathe it, love it, and want you to as well. You’ll feel less like you’re on a tour and more like you’re spending the day with a friend who knows the city inside and out. This is New York for people who want to understand it, not just see it.

“Real New York Tours was recommended to me by a colleague and it did not disappoint. What a great way to gain an understanding of the city and what it might be like to have lived in it. Myself and others in the group who had been to NYC before learned things we never knew. I would recommend this as a great tour option, especially to do in the first few days of being in NYC.”

"An awesome decision to book them. We were told by numerous folks to do the hop on hop off buses. Trey, our host, put it best: that's an aquarium, this is scuba diving. We had a little bit of an adventure on the subway from Greenwich Village to Central Park on the 42nd St stop. Ask Trey for the story, glad to be part of Real New York Tours lore.”
