About Us

Here at Manhattan Walking Tour, we are New Yorkers through and through. We love New York City and have been sharing our passion with visitors from around the globe since 2010. Our guided walking tours are like having a good friend show you around their NYC neighborhood, sharing all of their favorite places and the stories that go along with them.

What makes a Manhattan Walking Tour so unique is our 8 person or less guarantee, resulting in an intimate, engaging New York City activity. No need for microphones or headsets here. Your expert, local guide is with you every step of the way, answering all of your questions and giving the inside scoop on life in The Big Apple. This is nothing like an NYC bus tour; it’s an exclusive experience. We take you deep inside some of New York City’s quintessential neighborhoods and iconic landmarks – Greenwich Village, Times Square, Chinatown, Central Park, Grand Central Terminal, The High Line, Historic Downtown and Hell’s Kitchen. You can combine two – or even three – separate tours consecutively in one amazing New York day. Include one of our world-renowned food tours on your itinerary, with delicious tastes hand-selected to reflect the history and evolution of NYC, for the culinary experience of a lifetime. Add post-tour libations on if you please, and we’ll keep the fun going! Let us help you create your own New York story.

We can also use our immense knowledge to design a custom tour or excursion for you and your group. Manhattan Walking Tour is one of the highest-ranked tour companies in New York City – come see and taste why. When you tour NYC with us, the greatest city in the world truly comes alive.

Mission Statement

Manhattan Walking Tour was started to provide New York City travelers with a different kind of sightseeing and food tour – the kind we give friends when they come to visit. We strive to create the best possible memories and be an invaluable local resource for our guests, just as we do for our friends. We want them to truly experience the best NYC attractions, not just see them. As New Yorkers, we take great pride in our roots. New York history is part of the tour, but the behind-the-scenes stories are part of us. At Manhattan Walking Tour, we are honored to be ambassadors of New York City’s rich culture and traditions.
