We explore neighborhoods, recount history and study contrasts—uncovering the true New York, that’s melted into pizza slices, hidden in subways, and carried in the ever-changing stories of its 8 million people. From the swankiest stretches of Fifth Avenue to the grimiest of graffitied alleys, we share tales passed down from our grandparents, gleaned from books, and whispered on street corners.

My daugher and I had the pleasure of spending Mother's Day morning with Dan. We asked him to take us to places that "real" New Yorkers go. He did not disappoint! He met us up at our hotel and showed us how to use the subway (very easy). He had lots of interesting stories about the sites we visited -... More

After much debate my mum and I decided to do the Immigrant NY tour as I had been on a food tour of Little Italy and Chinatown previously. The advertised Streetwise tour covered the same ground but looked more extensive as it included regions I had not visited, such as Queens... We met Andrew at the Essex St market on... More

My two daughters (ages 8.5 and 11) and I met Andrew at our hotel in Times Square on Mother's Day, and we literally hit the ground running! We had a great time with our tailored tour of the city. I wanted my girls to see and experience as much of the city as possible in our three night stay. After... More

My husband surprised me with a 3 day trip to New York for my 42nd Birthday and I had never been. As you can imagine, I wanted to do it all in 3 days and.....I did. I made a list of everything I wanted to see and then I found Streetwise Tours on a random website. All the reviews were... More

My husband and I went on a Streetwise tour and it was a great intro into the crazy and amazing city that is NYC! We were really impressed by how knowledgable our guide Dan was and the way he tailored the tour to our interests and personalities. Would be happy to recommend this tour company to anyone!

We had Sonja on our tour. She took our very tired family (our flight had been delayed and we only got in at 4am), including two fairly stroppy teenagers out on a long walking tour around New York. I thought the children would be moaning after half an hour but in the end we had more than our allotted time.... More

On April 13, Sonja took us on a 3 hour tour of NYC. We visited Central Park, Chelsea, the High Line, and Greenwich Village. She was a great guide for a diverse group...ages 25 to 74. She was knowledgeable and very friendly and outgoing. Would highly recommend Streetwise Tours. Would have been happy to continue on after three hours.

My 12 year old son and I visited New York from New Zealand for the first time in early April 2013. After reading the excellent reviews on TripAdvisor I contacted Streetwise New York Tours and Andrew responded in a very friendly and prompt manner. We booked a 6 hour private tour and were assigned Patrick as our tour guide. Patrick... More

Andrew was our tour guide for our 3 hour tour. He will make the tour anything that you want - wherever you want. We chose Greenwich Village, Chinatown, Little Italy and Soho. He knows a lot about the history and architecture but luckily for me, he was able to point out multiple "Sex and The City" points of interests as... More
