You have come all this way. You have undergone security procedures as invasive as a medical exam. After the trip here, after all that work, why would you want to conform to someone else's agenda? I love working with guests to our fair city on what will be an unforgettable experience of some of my favorite things about this town that I have always called home (for more years than I care to admit). This tour is incredibly flexible and together we can personalize a tour of New York that covers what you want to see and do. Meaning YOUR AGENDA. Do you want to walk the Brooklyn Bridge? Do you want to find the best cheesecake in the world? Do you want to see Humphrey Bogart's childhood home? Do you want to see were John Lennon lived? Do you want to try one of the best restaurants in Chinatown? Do you want to shop? You tell me, we work it out together. As the song says "what street, compares with Mott Street, in July". Only Mott Street in May can compare.

    Top notch guide

    Gary is very knowledgeable about NYC and has a delightful sense of humor. We had a truly custom tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review and kind words.

    An unbelievable day in NYC

    What an amazing day! Gary met us at our hotel and the adventure began. Central Park, Grand central station, the financial district, 911 memorial, and battery park were some of spots we hit. His knowledge of NYC was unbelievable. We had a party of 8 with ages from 6 to 44. Gary is an absolute must for your next trip. We covered more and learned so much. Gary was so good with our kids. You know you chose the right guide when other guides along our trip told us how lucky we were to have Gary. Local New Yorkers were thanking Gary for learning about the history of the subway during the tour. Money well spent!!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. I was lucky to have you as guests. Your kids were just great. I hope you liked Eataly and I hope we meet again. Best, Gary

    Full Day Private, Walking and Subway, Tour in New York: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.

    How much does Full Day Private, Walking and Subway, Tour in New York cost?

    +

    Prices start at $615 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full Day Private, Walking and Subway, Tour in New York take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.

    Is Full Day Private, Walking and Subway, Tour in New York worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Private, Walking and Subway, Tour in New York?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full Day Private, Walking and Subway, Tour in New York suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Private, Walking and Subway, Tour in New York?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Private, Walking and Subway, Tour in New York start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in New York?

    +

    New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown Walking Tour in New York. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit New York?

    +

    September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in New York?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Full Day Private, Walking and Subway, Tour in New York?

    +

    Included: Pick up at a Manhattan based hotel; and Guiding Services. Not included: Personal Expenses, Souvenirs, Food, Drinks, Snacks; Gratuity for the guide; Pick up is only at a Manhattan based hotel; and Transportation fees (NYC Transit fares). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is Full Day Private, Walking and Subway, Tour in New York offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full Day Private, Walking and Subway, Tour in New York?

    +
