I am so, so happy a friend recommended Adam. I cannot say enough great things about him and our experience. My son, husband and I had the best time. He is so knowledgeable about the city and knows all of the fun places to stop for a snack or drink. From booking the trip until the day we left the city, Adam stayed in constant contact to make sure we not only had a great tour with him, but also the best trip overall. Do yourself a favor and call Adam the minute you book your trip! We can’t wait to tour with Adam the next time we travel to NY.

We had the BEST tour of the city with Adam. He took all of our interests into consideration taking us to Brooklyn Heights (love those Brownstones), Dumbo, Brooklyn Bridge (the story is fascinating), September 11 Memorial, Financial District (deep history). Our 16 year old enjoyed the sites and talking theater with Adam. He also shared fabulous food recommendations- our favorite meals of the trip. We are so glad we chose this guy. You will be too!

We had a blast with Adam on our girls trip to the US Open! We were 2 moms and our grown daughters who love pop culture. Adam decided Greenwich Village would be the move - the history, the trivia, and the pub stops were perfection! Loved the off-the-beaten-path excursions and he was fantastic at timing out the food and pub stops! And, of course, with history and trivia mixed in. Everyone of us loved our tour!

Adam puts on an amazing tour. He curates it to what you're looking for and can read the room perfectly to lean into what you're enjoying so it's not your typical run of the mill NYC tour. His knowledge and trivia is so fun and engaging so there's never a dull moment. Couldn't recommend him enough!

What an amazing tour! Adam did an outstanding job of catering to my less-mobile mom, and my very uninterested young kids. He even managed to tell the Stonewall Riots story in a way they could understand, which is no small feat with a 5 year old. Best bagel, best pizza, and best tour guide we could hope for. Thank you, Adam!!

Our family of 5 including three children (teen/tweens) thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Brooklyn and DUMBO with Adam. Adam did a wonderful job keeping both adults and kids entertained and engaged and had everything planned out just right to maximize touring time while still allowing for snack and bathroom breaks.

We have traveled extensively both in the US and overseas, and our teen daughter said Adam was the best tour guide we've had. High praises from a teenager! Adam also provided extensive tips and recommendations for other days of our NYC visit, and that guidance was much appreciated with so many options available in NYC.

Recently went to NYC with our two boys who had never visited the city, and we were referred Adam (I Know A Guy) to take a more customized tour as the boys are a little younger. I wasn't sure what to expect but Adam far exceeded all of our expectations from the initial call on a Saturday before the trip to throw out more ideas to incorporate to the check-ins to make sure the boys were having fun. Extremely knowledgeable of NYC and was able to keep things high-level for our boys as we walked about the city. Will definitely recommend him to other friends raveling to the city and look forward to doing another tour with him soon.

Five stars all day long! From booking to the end of the tour, Adam’s communication is amazing! Within minutes of booking a tour we were on the phone talking about what we were looking for in terms of neighborhoods to see, were there any special interests that should be worked into the tour? Adam designed a tour around the things we talked about. He is a font of New York City knowledge and being in a small private tour you don’t miss a thing. We all saw, and learned about things we didn’t know existed, and Adam wove them into the tour and conversation perfectly! Adam is a people person, and his love of people, and history shows from the moment you meet him. We all recommend Adam, and encourage you to book a tour today. Don’t wait!

We had the BEST tour in NYC with Adam! He is just the nicest guy ever and full of knowledge. We learned so much and had a blast. He is a natural storyteller! So engaging and even kept our pre-teens interested and talking. I promise you will learn something new even if you have been to NYC several times. Highly recommend!

We had the most amazing day with Adam on a walking tour thru Greenwich Village, and surrounding neighborhoods. Came in for a long, Labor Day weekend and tennis. Adam has so many stories and endless energy. We ate and had drinks and laughed in some historic pubs and spotted famous townhouses! (T-swift, B. Cooper etc). Thanks Adam for the best day!

I Know A Guy showed my daughter & I a tremendous time for our trip to NYC for her Senior trip! Adam called us ahead of time to find out what we wanted to do & see. Then we finalized things a few days before we arrived. He took us to all the locations we wanted to see & then was flexible & adjusted the afternoon to hit up several bookstores & so we could do all things Taylor Swift! Adam knows so much history about the city & tied it in beautifully with our tour. He had great pictures he shared on an I-pad as we stopped at different locations. Adam knows all things NYC & the surrounding areas! If you want to hit all the places on your list, be entertained, laugh, learn some history, & get in a lot of steps...I Know A Guy! This was my first trip to NYC & my daughter's second. I quickly figured out why my daughter loves the city so much & this was all because of Adam! If you're visiting NY, you need to tour the city with this guy!!

You need not look any further for the best tour guide in NYC. Adam is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and lots of fun ! We were so pleased that he showed us places that he knew would have special interest to us. Thank you for making our trip an experience we will never forget. Your new friends, Paul and Barbara.

If anyone is traveling to NYC thinks they are a veteran NY’er, think you know NYC because you lived there or have visited countless times or 1st time to NYC, I Know A Guy NYC Tours Adam Guy is someone you should reach out to! He is so detailed, gets the vibe of your personality, made my kids (12) and teenager (15) have the best experience ever, not one complaint of a 6 mile walk in a 90 degree day, this will tell you every! He will construct a very custom experience for you! My husband and I have been to NYC countless times but 1st time for the kids! I can’t say enough good things! Thanks Adam!

Absolutely incredible!! Tour was tailored to our interests, moved at our pace, and ticked everything off our sightseeing list. Adam communicated with me prior and after our tour, to ensure we got the most out of our time in NYC. He is a wealth of knowledge. We would recommend him to first time or returning travellers to New York. You won’t be disappointed.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day in NYC! Adam told us to wear our walking shoes, because we gave him the biggest itinerary ever. He met us at our hotel, and we started walking. And we saw EVERYTHING on our checklist. Our teenagers didn't even complain walking mile after mile through the city streets. We loved the sites, the stories, and the food. At the end of the day, he dropped us off in Hell's Kitchen to grab a bite to eat before our Broadway show. He even gave us detailed instructions on how to get back to our hotel on the subway. Adam made our quick stop in NYC go as smoothly and stress free as possible. Now we just need to figure out how to get back and spend more time at all of our favorite places. Thank you Adam!

A wonderful experience! Adam was engaging, interesting, and delightful! We saw parts of NYC that we had not experienced before. You must add a tour with I know a Guy to your NYC trip! Highly recommend!!!

Don’t Miss Out - Book with Adam as Soon as You Have Your Travel Dates! We recently took a family trip to NYC and even though I grew up just outside the city and worked there for several years, we took the opportunity to book a tour of Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo with Adam. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend! From the first phone contact, he offered amazing insights and even made suggestions on the best way to structure our trip so we didn’t try to cram too much into each day.

Before we even met with him in person for our tour, Adam made us feel very appreciated - he checked in with us regularly - and had some personal touches that I will leave for him to share. It’s clear he loves what he does and loves the city he calls home. He’s a people person and it shows… but he also wants to see his guests enjoying the city and falling in love with it, too. Adam can build a tour with what you and your group want to see and do - no cookie cutter tours with 50 people. It’s just you and your companions seeing the city in a small group setting. I cannot say enough about Adam and his biz I Know A Guy NYC Tours!

Great tour and amazing guide! My 11-year-old son had a blast. This was a perfect day in NYC. Book the 8 hours - totally worth it!

Adam is truly the Guy for a fun, information-filled NYC walking tour. He tailored our tour to the things we were most interested in, on the fly, and constantly checked in to make sure we were having a good time. We learned a lot about the history of the city and about things to do. He loves the city, is a great storyteller, and is a really nice Guy. Book the tour. You'll be glad you did.

There is no one better than Adam to enjoy touring within NYC. Adam keeps you engaged in conversation allowing you to learn about the areas you are touring and enjoying the surroundings. His personality in itself makes it all worth spending time with him. Thank you, Adam. I know I'll be back in NYC and I know I'll plan to spend time touring with you again. I'm thrilled to have you as a new friend. Life is good!!

Wow! What a great day! We spent a day exploring NYC with Adam while visiting with my Mom and two daughters. We saw SO much, and he catered to our every whim as to what we wanted to do and see. He was beyond compassionate and considerate with my 79 year old Mom—who still killed it by the way! Book Adam, and you won’t be disappointed. It will be the highlight of your trip!

Can’t say enough good things about Adam. It was great to have a personal guide focus on our interests & at our pace. I also recommend Adam’s tours for families, because you don’t have to keep up with a group. So glad I discovered his website during an online search. All 3 of us loved his tour & are happy to recommend him to our friends.

Whether it's your first time to NYC or your 100th, Adam will find a way to show you a part of the city you've never seen. His passion for the city is contagious and his knowledge allows him to tailor the experience to exactly what you want/need. Not sure what you want? That's okay too, he'll walk you through the options and ask you a few questions to help find out what you would most enjoy. It's so clear that he loves his city and wants to share that love with everyone that visits. We did a tour of Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, and Roosevelt Island. This was probably my 20th trip to New York and these were all new places for me. We learned so much and got a feel for new neighborhoods that we now want to come back and explore more. I can't recommend Adam's tours enough - you're going to love it!

Adam was a fantastic guide and the perfect introduction to NYC. My husband had never been, and it had been 30 years since I had visited. Adam called ahead of time to see what we were interested in, and was happy to make suggestions and put a plan together. He gave a thorough explanation of the subway, took us on a whirlwind tour of many highlights, and then surprised us with a lovely excursion on the tram to Roosevelt Park, because he said we would never have done that ourselves (and he's right. I had no idea it existed). I'm shocked at how much we fit in in the time we had with him, and he was so generous in offering suggestions for what to do with the rest of our time. I feel like I saw half of the city in two days and would never have accomplished that on our own if not for Adam's suggestions and guidance. He continued to stay in touch to check in with how we were doing. I'm so glad we worked with him. He opened up the city to us and gave us the recommendations and the confidence to explore. Highly recommended!

Book with Adam Guy!! Best way to walk and learn all about New York! Adam took us to so many unseen to me places and gave us fun yet historical and factual information about homes and bridges and people etc. We were on a mother daughter trip with our two 23-year-olds, and they were blown away at how much fun they had!! Adam went out of his way to help us throughout the entire trip with texts messages of restaurants shopping areas and subway help. He was a quick responder!! Most of all glad to say we all have a new friend in Adam! Thanks so much!

Adam had a group of 15 from Perth, Australia. He made our trip an experience we’ll never forget. Highly recommend Adam for his knowledge, passion and joy he gives on his tours of NYC. You’ll see things you’d wouldn’t except. Thanks again, Adam

If you're looking for an extraordinary New York City experience, look no further than Adam Guy from "I Know a Guy" tours. Having visited NYC several times before, our group of three couples each had different expectations, but Adam exceeded them all! From the moment he picked us up at our hotel, Adam's infectious enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the city brought New York's magic to life. We explored iconic spots like Roosevelt Island, Chelsea Market, Hudson Yards, the High Line, the Meatpacking District, and Greenwich Village. Adam’s ability to navigate these diverse neighborhoods while catering to our varied interests was nothing short of remarkable. Each location was packed with secret spots and Instagram-worthy scenes that only a seasoned New Yorker like Adam could reveal.

Beyond the tour itself, Adam provided invaluable recommendations for restaurants and activities that enhanced our stay for the entire trip. His tips were tailored to our tastes and were a perfect blend of popular must-sees and unique, off-the-beaten-path gems. Booking a day with Adam is more than just a tour; it’s a day of laughter, discovery, and true New York spirit. We highly recommend Adam Guy to anyone who wants to experience New York through the eyes of a local who loves the city and loves sharing it even more. Don't miss out on this personalized journey through the heart of NYC!

This is our second time using Adam for our trips to NYC and the second was even better than the first. He picked up four teenage boys in the morning and showed them sights they would have never seen otherwise. He spent the full day showing them the sights and they were worn out by the end - no small task to exhaust teenage boys! Thanks Adam. We will be back!

Best tour ever!! We learned so much from Adam. He really took into consideration what we wanted to do and gave us so much information. Brooklyn is amazing and a part of the city that we had never seen before. Thanks so much for a great tour, Adam!!

So glad we found Adam. This was our first visit to New York City, and we were a bit overwhelmed. We reached out to Adam to set up a personal tour and from the start I was grateful that we reached out to him. Not only did he take us on an amazing tour of Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo and the Brooklyn Bridge with amazing stories and history along the way, he went above and beyond from the start of our trip to the end.

He gave us recommendations on where to eat, places to see. We wanted to go to Greenwich Village at the end of our tour, and since we were new to the subway, he took us there personally. Who does that!?! He would send texts to make sure we were doing ok throughout our trip. We loved our time in New York and can't wait to get back. My first call will be to Adam to set up another tour. Thank you, Adam! You really are a great guy!

I highly recommend I Know Guy NYC tours! We did a full day with our 19 and 16 year old kids and they absolutely loved it. We all learned so much and saw sites we never would have seen on our own. Truly amazing! I will cherish these memories with the family forever. Thanks again Adam for a wonderful day in NYC!

I cannot say enough about Adam. How special it was to be able to see all the sites of NY in a small intimate setting. Adam took my son and I to parts of NY and Brooklyn that we never would have seen if we walked it on our own. My son walked away from the tour saying how he learned so much while getting to see some really cool sites. If you are thinking of using a guide, Adam is a must!

Adam was amazing! From our first contact with him (8 months before our trip - we’re planners), he was incredibly responsive spending time on the phone to help give us suggestions to plan our trip - not just the time we would spend with him. In the time leading up to the trip, Adam was always easy to contact and provided more advice for us.

On the day of our tour, Adam was punctual and upbeat even though it was raining. He adjusted our path to stay indoors when possible and limited our exposure to the cold and rain. Adam made his tour accessible for our children (ages 9 and 6) and fun for us. He kept the pace moving but took good breaks and really adapted to us on the go. Our trip was so much better because of him. We can’t thank him enough for a great time and would recommend him to anyone. We look forward to seeing New York with him on our next trip.

When I think of how best to describe a tour with Adam, it's that it feels like taking in great parts of NYC with your new friend in the city. Whether it's your first or fiftieth visit to New York, Adam's tours will add thoughtfully personalized touches and elevate your experiences while creating great memories! If you're wanting a tour that you'll remember fondly and reminisce on for years to come? Book with Adam.

For anyone who wants to explore NYC with the best personalized guide of all, Adam Guy and "I Know A Guy NYC" is the best! We had a great time, and he gave us such fun insight, history, and cool food places we never knew about! These are personalized tour, no "mass groups" wandering slowly. He takes you where you want to go and shares so much history, insight and fun upbeat information - he is the nicest person and we all had a blast! We booked another tour to do next month because there is so much to see in this city, and he loves to explore it all!

Do yourself a favor and book a tour with Adam whenever you are in NYC! He provides a set of experiences you cannot hope to create on your own. Trust me…I’m a tour guide and was completely amazed by his itinerary, his area knowledge, his thoughtful touches and best of all, his stories! Adam immerses you in both the present and the past, and by the end of your time together, you’ve got a new and wonderful friend in NYC. Don’t miss an opportunity to tour with Adam. Like ours, time with him will be the highlight of your visit to NYC!

My 13yr old son and I took a tour with Adam earlier this month. The tour was fun and engaging and took us to so many spots in NY we wanted to see. Being with Adam gave us a great perspective as he had both a local and historical point of view to share. It was so nice being in our small group since we could easily maneuver around the bigger tours and also move at our own pace.

Adam was a key player in our week in NY as he touched base with me several times before our trip to not only plan our tour but to also help us plan our other activities and transportation for the week. After we parted ways Adam contacted me throughout the week to make sure we didn’t have any questions and were having a good time. Adam knows how to tailor a tour to your specific interests and needs and will guarantee you have the NY experience you came to have. It’s been a few weeks and my son, and I are still recounting stories he told us, making my husband and younger son even more jealous that they weren’t on this trip. Don’t hesitate to book a tour with Adam, even if you only have time for a half day you won't regret it!

Our family of 5 had a wonderful morning with Adam exploring parts of the city we'd never experienced and learning so much along the way. Adam is easy and fun to talk to and we all enjoyed his company and knowledge of the city. Highly recommend for a personalized NYC experience!

If you are looking to see NYC, I Know A Guy is the perfect way. While I have been to NYC countless times, I wanted to plan something unique for my kids. Adam planned a fantastic morning where we walked the Brooklyn Bridge, toured the financial district and visited the 9/11 memorial. Our tour was filled with historical facts, entertaining anecdotes and general fun conversation. He customized our tour to our own interests. I can’t recommend him enough! At the end of our multi-day trip, my kids said the I Know A Guy NYC Tour was the highlight!

I'm not a fan of tours, or people in general, but this tour with Adam was easily the best way to see New York City. It was a much more personal and enjoyable experience, seeing incredible places that we would've never known existed, as well as learning about the rich history of the city.

The level of customer service was refreshing, to the point where Adam sent a welcome package to our hotel room which included a subway map, a handwritten card, as well as some other goodies.

We mentioned some places we wanted to see, and with some suggestions from Adam, it made for an awesome full day experience, without the stress of rushing to our next destination or trying to figure out how to get to where we wanted to go.

I could not recommend Adam enough and will be sure to tell anyone travelling to New York City that I Know A Guy.

Everyone who goes to NYC needs to book Adam for a tour. He knows so much and loves to share it all, gets in touch early so you can ask any questions about your trip, helps with your itinerary if needed, is great to be with and clearly loves his job. All of which makes him a brilliant tour guide. He is, however, most famous for being stalked by Matt Damon. If you want to know that story, you gotta book a tour.

I’d give Adam 100 stars if I could. Getting a tour with him is such a personalized experience - we walked the Brooklyn bridge, saw the financial district, got delicious treats in SoHo and even saw the famed Cornelia St of Taylor Swift lore. Along the way we talked about history, Broadway shows, music… it was like going on a walk with an old friend. 10 out of 10! Highly Recommend. Will be back!

Adam’s tour was a highlight in our 4 days in NYC over Thanksgiving. He goes above and beyond before, during, & even after the tour with planning, checking-in & tips. All 3 of our children said, “Amazing!” as we ended… high praise and quite a feat to please kids ranging from 10 - 21. For a family of 5, we would have paid the same or even more for a shorter group tour and instead we had a custom tour at our own pace with Adam to ourselves. We definitely will book again anytime we’re back in NYC!

I cannot give enough stars. Adam is an excellent communicator and guide, making sure my family knew what to expect and that the tour would be interesting and relevant to both my mom and my daughter. After my Mom and 9-year-old daughter started planning a special birthday trip - a "Grandma Getaway" and deciding on NYC, I reached out to Adam to book a tour. To say he went above and beyond isn't nearly enough -- he helped them organize their whole visit, not just their time with him; he recommended swaps to their list of stops and he accommodated my mother's need to take breaks during their walking tour. He even facilitated great photos for us to have as reminders of the beautiful memories of the trip! I highly, highly recommend Adam and I Know a Guy!

This absolutely exceeded my expectations from what I was initially thinking a tour would be. This is not your everyday group boring tour. Adam personalized the experience based on my wife and son's punch list, likes and wants. I would 100% recommend Adam to anyone headed for NY. He is smart, knowledgeable, Funny, flexible and above all extremely accommodating to the ever-changing requests we had. This was our 3rd time visiting NY and by far the best one yet! Thanks to Adam. My son is doing a semester in NY - main reason for visit, and Adam took the time and used the tour to educate him on the how, where, who, etc... Not to mention recommendations for best bagels and pizza! Overall - 5+ Stars, great experience!

What an absolute blast we had with Adam! Picture this: a walk across the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, learning the secrets of the Financial District, paying homage to Hamilton's resting place, indulging in heavenly cronuts, peeking at the legendary Friends' apartment, meandering through the vibrant Chelsea Market, and conquering the subway like pros! Not only did Adam customize a one-day tour for our two families, but he also helped us plan our itinerary for the entire trip. And it was easy to see the genuine smile on his face each time one of our kids got excited about a particular sight. Adam is a gem! Say goodbye to the stress of navigating New York City on your own and hello to an epic day filled with exploring, eating, and sightseeing. Book Adam!

I’ve traveled to New York a lot but brought my mom and daughter and thought a tour would be fun. Adam was even more than we could have imagined, exceeded all expectations. Adam struck a perfect balance of fun, interesting informative (we learned a lot!) and engaging. He adapted the tour when we needed to without missing a beat and genuinely cared for us not just on the tour but during our whole stay. Book him now - his tours are in demand and we are raving fans!

We were both excited and nervous of our NY vacation. After being educated on the layout of the city and on how to use public transportation, we felt like pros and were able to navigate our way throughout all the boroughs. Adam is very knowledgeable and shares his love of NY to you through his informative tour. His friendly and outgoing character will put you at ease. Not only does he want to provide you with a great experience from your first phone call, he makes himself available for questions and suggestions after the tour. He even follows up with you to ensure your wellbeing and to cheer you along your journey.

If you feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start on a NY vacation, I know a guy! Adam will take care of you and you’ll be glad you had his help and toured with him. We had a wonderful time!

"As 2 families (4 adults, 3 teen children) bringing our kids to NYC for their 1st experience, we decided to book Adam to show us some of the areas that we were not knowledgeable about sharing with them. We knew after our 1st conversation that he was going to be a great tour guide. But he knocked it out of the park. Adam's knowledge, personality, and sharing of hidden gems exceeded our expectations! We learned so much and had a great time in the process. However, Adam is so much more than an outstanding tour guide. His attention to every detail is unparalleled. He made sure we arrived in the city safely, gave restaurant suggestions near our activities, gave tips on how to navigate the subway system (saving us hundreds of dollars), helped us get amazing pictures, was patient with moving 7 people though a very crowded city & became a dear friend in the process. Give yourself the best gift you can while in NYC and book I Know A Guy NYC tours. Adam is the hidden NYC gem!"

Adam delivered a truly bespoke tour experience for our family of 4! We came to NYC for my daughter's 10th birthday. We knew we wanted to see two Broadway shows but felt overwhelmed planning the rest of the trip and making the most of our weekend. Good thing I Know A Guy! Adam helped us organize our thoughts (and our subway routes) and planned our walking tour perfectly so that we saw and learned about SO much in our half day with him. He knows the city, inside and out, is funny, patient, kind, and great with kids! Don't hesitate to book him if you're looking for a tour of NYC.

Our walking tour with Adam was truly one of the highlights of our trip to NYC. Highly recommend. The tour was well paced and included something for everyone in the family including my 8 year old daughter and 70 year old mom. Adam made our trip so much less stressful and enjoyable. We got to enjoy experiencing NYC and learning about it without having to be on our iPhones navigating the whole time. It was perfect. In addition, he was there with us every step of the way, offering his advice during our trip planning and even following checking in with us after our tour was over. And did I mention he recommended frequent and clean bathroom break locations stops. A big plus for our multi-generational group. :)

We arrived in New York City on November 1st for 10 days to see the sights, explore, and attend Broadway shows. Prior to our arrival, we had communicated with Adam Guy for a half day tour. Adam was super communicative. Lots of chatting about our plans and things we like to see and do. Adam’s recommendations as we developed our itinerary was so super helpful! We met up with Adam our 2nd full day in the city for a great day discovering Brooklyn. Saw sights we never would have found on our own.

Adam is super informed and a great storyteller. He perked our interest on other sights and areas he recommended we visit. Adam remained a great source of guidance and advice as we explored the city on our own. So good to respond to all our random inquiries about the city! I will say that our trip was so much more explorative than we had originally anticipated thanks to Adam’s great information! Totally recommend Adam’s services when visiting the city and will do recommend to our friends and family who visit the great city of New York!

A perfect morning tailored to two active 70-somethings! The pace was perfect as Adam guided us through Brooklyn neighborhoods, culminating at the Brooklyn Bridge. His local knowledge and historical insights and great personality made for a truly enriching experience. We're already planning our next visit when we will hire Adam to take us to Wall Street.

My sister and I took a long awaited first trip to NYC and decided to have someone show us the town. We spent two days with Adam and I Know A Guy NYC Tours. Best decision we ever made, we walked everywhere saw things we would not have known how to find and even after our paid tours, we texted Adam for help navigating the city. He is great, so knowledgeable about the city, and such a great guy!!!!

Adam is wonderful, and I can’t recommend connecting with him enough! We did the Brooklyn Heights tour and not only was the tour phenomenal but he checked in on us throughout our trip & gave great recommendations for restaurants/things to see while we were in NYC - it felt like having a local friend who could tell you the best spots for anything you need in the city. Amazing!

It has been 20 years since our previous NYC visit. Adam was great! He helped us with finding a hotel before our visit, answered questions before our visit and had a welcome package waiting for us at the hotel when we arrived. Adam walked us through using the subway and helped us figure out NYC survival. :) He changed the tour as we went based on our interests and made certain we had plenty of pictures. We had a great time! Can't wait to book another tour and bring the kids next time! Thanks Adam!

Adam made our first day to the city effortless. He is a rockstar and incredibly knowledgeable. We spent 4+ hours with him on a private personalized tour of areas we discussed with him prior to our arrival. He met us at our hotel and led us to Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, and the Brooklyn Bridge. He offers tours of many different areas in NYC.

We communicated with him via the phone and text a few weeks prior to the trip. (almost an hour on the phone just discussing what we might want to see). All I can say is it made our trip so much more enjoyable and efficient to have a really good understanding of how the city was laid out, what tourists traps to avoid, basic understanding of the subway system, and personal advice to local attractions. Adam is a really down to earth and a pleasant person. Reach out to Adam if you are coming to the city, you won’t be sorry.

My husband and I booked I Know A Guy to lead us on an interactive, up-close-and-personal walking tour of Brooklyn Heights during a long weekend NYC trip this past weekend. It was the absolute best start to our trip! The experience, the exposure and the customer service were top notch! From the welcome packet we received at our hotel upon our arrival to the engaging, detail-oriented stories that captivated us from the subway through to every stop! It was so nice to get to really see and be present in some of the most dynamic parts of the city as a break from engaging in some of the more mainstream tourist activities. I can't wait to book again for a future tour in a different part of town the next time we visit.

Had a great tour with some guy, actually, a guy, or more commonly known as Adam Guy (I Know A Guy). The tour was rain or shine, and we had our rain, but it didn't matter. Despite having been in NYC more than 10 times, we found new places to explore and learned so many new things. Would definitely recommend you connect with Adam and arrange a tour with him. You will have so much fun.

We had such an amazing tour with Adam. We did the Brooklyn Heights tour and it was fantastic. We saw so many things we never would have, had we not booked Adam. He is so knowledgeable and friendly and made our day. I highly recommend him!! My son will be studying in New York for the Spring semester and Adam took the time to teach him the subway system and offered to let my son use him as a point of contact if needed. We'll definitely be booking more tours!!

Adam is the best! He came highly recommended and he lived up to all the hype on a recent family girls’ trip to NYC. He took us on a walking tour of the High Line, Greenwich Village, Hudson Yards. He knows the city like the back of his hand and he is an excellent host! He tailors his tours to meet the specific desires/needs of each client. Don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime experience. Sincerely, the Nasif girls from Mississippi

I highly recommend booking Adam for your next tour! We have used Adam twice for our tour experiences with teens. The first time was with a larger group, then a smaller group and regardless Adam did a phenomenal job. The adults and teens were engaged and loved every bit of it. Adam goes above and beyond to give all participants a memorable experience. He shares a deep passion for what he does and is very knowledgeable about the various sites that we visited. He communicates well and that definitely goes a long way. Book with Adam!

I would 100% recommend Adam. His communication was outstanding. He even sent subway maps to our hotel before our tour. We talked a few months ahead of our trip, and he catered the trip to the things we wanted to see as well as the things we otherwise wouldn't have. His knowledge of NYC was awesome. If I ever get back to NYC, I will definitely be booking another tour with Adam.

Adam is the best. We had a fantastic weekend in NYC celebrating our daughter’s 10th birthday. Adam is knowledgeable and fun. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

We had a wonderful tour of NYC with Adam. He has great energy and so much knowledge of the city. Our family went to the Public Library, Grand Central Station, Roosevelt Island, Central Park and Times Square. We definitely got our steps in and saw places in New York that we wouldn’t have easily found on our own. It was nice to have a day where we didn’t have to worry about making plans or finding our way around. Adam planned it all! And even helped us find discount tickets to a Broadway show!

He also continued to provide help after the tour with restaurant recommendations and Subway advice.

The experience of having a personal tour with Adam Guy was fantastic. Adam showed us the Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO areas. He has so much knowledge. To me, Brooklyn took on a real character because of the tremendous amount of history and information we learned. Walking the Brooklyn Bridge was an experience I will always remember. THANK YOU, Adam. Thank you for all your personal attention and unlimited stories. I recommend to anyone who is going to visit NYC, to book a tour with Adam Guy for sure. He will always make sure that you leave NY loving it and knowing much more about it than when you arrived.

My son just moved in as a first year at NYU. We really were not familiar with all the areas around NYU, so we arrived early and booked a tour with Adam Guy at I Know A Guy NYC Tours for the morning before move-in. He met us at our hotel and had tailored a tour just for us in the neighborhoods around NYU, hitting bakeries, restaurants, interesting historical and pop culture sites, and the NYU bookstore. He also helped my son understand the layout of the city and the subway system, and then had my son lead us on a subway route to a destination. After the tour, my son said he felt a lot more confident navigating NYC and now had a better understanding of “how NY works.” Adam also helped us figure out Broadway tickets and restaurants for that night. I highly recommend Adam if you are looking for a similar experience! I am looking forward to seeing other parts of New York City with Adam when I am back in the city visiting my son.

My husband and I had a quick yet fun getaway to New York earlier this month. Wanting to make the most of our short stay, I booked a half day tour with Adam with "I Know A Guy NYC Tours." Adam gave us a walking tour of beautiful Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO, shared many interesting stories and tidbits, then finished our tour with a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. He was prepared for EVERYTHING, including …no joke…dental floss when I complained that I had something stuck in my teeth after lunch. He continued to give his tips on interesting things to see and do even after our time with him. And when I needed to find a souvenir for my teenage son, he recommended stores that fit our son's interests and we found the perfect gift!

If you plan to visit NYC, please reach out to Adam. He is kind, friendly, easy to work with, and just an overall great guy. We didn’t bring our kids, but he has worked with many families. He keeps things fun and interesting for the young and old. You get the sense that he really just wants people to enjoy New York, whether you book a tour with him or not. For someone we only met for a few hours, I feel like we made a new friend. And I plan to be a repeat customer!

Adam Guy is an amazing person and tour guide. He took my daughter and I around NYC all day we saw so many great sites. He asked questions, figured out what she would like and made a tour. At the end of the tour my 13yo said “I think he’s literally the nicest person ever.” He tells amazing stories and history about the city and knows crazy secret sites. Have him take you to SOHO. I can’t wait to go back. He also has lists on lists of you need recommendations if you need them.

Do yourself a favor and book a tour with Adam next time you’re in New York. No matter how many times you’ve been to NYC, he’ll show you something you’ve never seen before. Adam is more than a tour guide. He’s a host and will go out of his way to make your entire trip — not just the part you spend with him — something special. Thank you, Adam, for a wonderful day and for being part of my milestone birthday celebration!

We couldn’t be more happy. Adam Guy is someone any person wanting to tour and know any part of New York City needs to know. Thank you Adam “I know a guy”, Guy for making our day.

I have been to New York many times but this was a trip I will never forget. Adam was exceptional from begin to end. He met us every morning at our hotel and had our whole day custom planned to fit our needs. He took us all over the city, to many places I had never been and told us the history or an interesting fun fact. His knowledge was amazing. We covered so much ground in two days, we ate and laughed our way through New York. I would recommend Adam to anyone!

My husband and I took my 16 year old son to NYC for spring break. This was our first trip without our now college aged daughter and my son was not overly happy about her not being there. We hired Adam to take us around Brooklyn, DUMBO and the Brooklyn bridge. It was awesome! He made the area come alive for my teenager. He loved it and never complained! Adam filled the trip with fun stories that we all loved! Our tour was definitely a highlight of our trip. Adam also helped us organize our trip and recommended great restaurants.

Fantastic tour guide! I booked a full day tour with Adam for me and my 2 teenage daughters. My girls had never been to NYC. I wanted them to experience and see different parts of the city - not just the shops on Fifth Avenue. We had an absolute blast! Adam told us many interesting stories about the city and showed us places we’d never heard about. We can’t wait to visit again and take another tour with Adam! Money well spent!

We booked a half day with Adam and had a wonderful time! We spoke prior to the trip so that he could get a feel for what we wanted to see and do. When Adam picked us up from our hotel, he had a plan in motion and even switched things up on the fly to accommodate our Swiftie 11-year-old daughter with a few stops relating to the singer. We went from the West Village to Tribeca, over to Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO and ended our tour on Roosevelt Island. Adam encouraged us to pop into places we found interesting along the way with fun facts about each area. It was a lovely day and we had a blast. Thanks Adam!

Adam took the time to get to know us and that made for a special tour. It was like spending the afternoon with a friend. Highlights were seeing where Jackie Robinson was signed to be a Dodger, seeing a church with a secret safe house for former slaves and walking the neighborhoods and Brooklyn Bridge. The tour was the highlight of our trip to NYC. Adam helped us navigate the subway and checked in on us each day. Really a great guy and awesome tour guide.

Adam is one of a kind! He is warm, friendly, and engaging, and he makes it his mission to make your time with him unforgettable! We traveled to the city with our daughter for her 10th birthday, and we wanted her to hit the highlights of the city. He did all that and more! He gave us history and fun facts along the way and made everything perfectly relatable to our daughter. We traipsed all over the city - from Brooklyn Bridge to Wall Street to 9/11 to Grand Central to Roosevelt Island. He made it 100% entertaining for us and completely stress free! He navigated the subways and taught us how to get around and generally just showed us some of the coolest things in the city. We started the day as strangers and ended it as great friends. Book him for your next trip - it will be the best decision you ever make!

I took my 40 year old intellectually disabled son to NYC and could not have done it without Adam! He let us go at our own pace (even though we had to stop and rest every few feet). He was so patient and understanding regarding my son’s disability and was so knowledgeable about the city. He even told me what bus to take to get to the Port Authority as we did not stay in New York. He walked us BACK to the Port Authority and right to our gate, after our tour had ended. Adam was more than accommodating of my son’s needs! If I could give him an A+++, it wouldn’t be a high enough mark!

Just back from New York, what I thought as a layover turned into an amazing experience, mostly due to our guide Adam Guy. Totally took the stress out of the entire trip and took us to some truly beautiful places I thought never existed in New York. Give the guy a call if you want a friendly, informative, personal experience 👍🏻 I Know A Guy NYC Tours 🇮🇪☘️

I can't say enough great things about Adam's ability to lead you on a fun walk around NYC! Here's a guy who earnestly wants you to have a good time in New York and goes out of his way to make that happen. Honestly, where does this guy get all this energy and charm?!

This was the first time in NYC for most of us, and Adam did a tremendous job making everyone feel comfortable with the city. The information he provided us along the way was always fascinating and always just the right amount.

Mere minutes after I booked the walking tour with Adam, he became my go-to guy for NYC tips and recommendations--weeks before we actually arrived!

But perhaps what I appreciated most about Adam was his willingness, desire, and ability to connect with each one of the five of us on an individual level. He initiated one-on-one conversations with each of us, getting to know us and making us laugh. His genuine interest in and engagement of my children was the highlight of the walking tour for me. Even my most introverted child was coming out of his shell and cracking Adam up with his wit by the end of the tour.

I would recommend Adam to anyone who is visiting New York, regardless of how much you think you know (or don't know) about the city. Thanks, Adam! I hope we are lucky to join you for another tour in the future!

We have been to NYC several times and wanted to check out the little unknown areas. We were with Adam Guy from 9-6 and walked all around Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, SOHO, and ended up at Roosevelt Island. We took the tram to and from the Island. While that was my favorite stop finished off watching the sunset over Manhattan from a rooftop bar, I also enjoyed all the hidden secrets of New York we learned. Thanks Adam! We will do this again to explore other area of the City!

Adam went above and beyond our expectations to not only give us an amazing tour but also provided lots of helpful tips for our stay during our time in NY. He truly cares about your experience in his beloved city and wants to ensure you are taken care of from the minute you get to NYC.

His tour to Brooklyn Heights was the highlight of our trip, we learned so much about that area that we would have never known, we probably never had even thought of going to that amazing neighborhood but really glad Adam recommended it. He also took us through Central Park and was kind of enough to come back an additional day to do that as the weather wasnt very cooperative for when we were supposed to tour it.

We have a 13 year old with us, and Adam was very cognizant of keeping him involved and making sure he was port of the experience which is appreciated by us parents!

Even after our tour with him he checked in to see if we had any questions and provided additional suggestions and insights to help us make the most of our time in NYC. Highly recommend Adam, we are picky people with our travel experiences, and he definitely exceeded our expectations!

Adam was a fantastic tour guide!!! We had a great day exploring Brooklyn Heights & Dumbo. He is a great photographer & knows when to feed a group when they get hangry. He knows the best bathroom stops & where to get fancy cocktails!

Fantastic day with Adam Guy of "I Know A Guy" tours. Highly recommend him! He planned and executed the tour for our 11-year-old granddaughters perfectly! From the best morning bagel to the Highline, the Vessel and Hudson Yards to Roosevelt Island, navigating the subways, NY Library, Grand Central Station and do much more (including tracking us down to return a forgotten jacket!) and just answering every question and giving so much info, he absolutely made our trip!! He will adapt your tour to whatever you need! Hurray for Adam!

Adam is amazing! He customized the trip to be exactly what we wanted. Some of us had been to NY before and others hadn’t but he made sure it was the perfect experience. He knows so much about the city, can tell the history, answer questions, and has a great sense of humor. He is truly the best tour guide I have ever had! I would 100% recommend him to anyone going to NY! He will make it an experience you will never forget!

Adam was recommended to me by a friend. Adam far exceeded my expectations. He is genuinely an awesome person. I was able to just relax and enjoy the beautiful sites and architecture. His history knowledge is amazing. I crossed a few things off my bucket list. We saw more with Adam in one day than we would have in a week solo. In addition, we had a wonderful lunch in Chinatown. Introduced my granddaughter to her first Cronut. A quick lesson on using the Subway. Recommendations for Broadway shows. Saw a few hidden treasures some of the locals may not even be aware of. I can’t wait to go back so Adam can show me the rest of the city. Adam, thank you so much for everything and we will see you again soon!

How to craft an NYC visit that will be a crowd pleaser for seasoned travelers comprised of an ex-Manhattanite, her teen son and her history loving husband? Enlist I Know A Guy, and most importantly, Adam. Start to finish, this was the pinnacle of tour experiences. Once I booked, Adam set up time to go over our interests, and proposed a walking tour of Soho and the Village.

Having lived in NYC for 16+ years, I figured this tour would be primarily for the rest of my family--Adam proved me wrong, as it was a huge hit for all of us. From the welcome note, to greeting us at our hotel, to the encyclopedic knowledge of buildings, local history, bathroom stops and delicious taste treats, Adam guided us through these charming parts of the city beautifully. The teen was engaged (thanks largely to Adam's energy and customization), the history lover was sated and I was delighted to discover things about the city I never knew.

It's clear Adam loves New York City, learning about his guests' interests and the challenge of putting together a bespoke tour to blend the two. Whether you have hours or days in the city, booking a tour (or 2!) with Adam will make any visit to New York the best it can be. Can't recommend highly enough!

Adam was fantastic! What a fun day out. Forget the tours that hire anyone who can read a script. Adam is genuinely interested in the history, nuances, and fun facts of anything NYC. While the actual tour for me was centered around the High Line, Adam also gave lots of information regarding other NYC landmarks, with engagement and genuine passion for the city. I will be back, and as we have family from near and far that likes to visit, will absolutely organize more tours with Adam. Thanks for a great experience!

Absolutely recommend Adam for your tour guide needs. He was so accommodating of everyone in the group. Gave me all of my history/architectural moments, as well as cute spots for photos for my teenage niece. We had a great time! Thanks Adam for showing us around NYC!!!

A friend recommended I Know A Guy tours and she did us a real favor. Adam Guy knows the city and shared his enthusiasm with us. We had a grand time touring Brooklyn and DUMBO. It's hard to say which was more fun, seeing Brooklyn or spending time with Adam. A Really Good Guy! Do yourself a favor and do a tour with I Know A Guy tours of NYC!

"If I could give Adam an 11 star review I would! Adam made our visit to NYC so easy, interesting, and complete. We had him draw up a custom itinerary for our 2 day tour with him based on our family’s interests. He did an amazing job and is the energizer bunny! So many hidden gems that Adam showed us. Adam also knows everything about the shows. He helped me pick one out and navigate seats and tickets. Really above and beyond. I was really confused as to how to plan the next 5 days. Adam planned a custom itinerary with links to buy tickets, organized by neighborhood. Made it so easy! He threw in great restaurants, attractions, modes of transportation. It’s not often that people go above and beyond these days, but Adam does. He also has texted me after our tour to check in and made himself available for questions, guidance and just good ole friendship. I wish there was an Adam in every port we visit. Simply the best!"

We booked Adam based on a referral from a mom’s referral Facebook group. So happy we booked him. He called within minutes of requesting information online and we were fast friends. He assessed our goals of our mother/ son trip. Our request was nothing too touristy and to enjoy NYC like the locals do. He helped me nail down not only our tour with him but he gave solid recommendations and timing to schedule the other three days of our vacation. Every rec was spot on. The day of our private tour he met us where we were getting our morning bagel at 9am and off we went. He helped school us in the ways of the subway and I am proud to say that we continued to use it for transportation for the duration of our mother/ son trip.

He kicked off the tour with some baseball trivia and historical landmarks which piqued my son’s interest immediately. We walked Brooklyn Heights and learned noteworthy history such as visiting the site of the “Grand Central Station of the Underground Railroad.” We enjoyed the views from the Brooklyn Promenade. We learned about and walked through Dumbo, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Chinatown. My son wanted Dim Sun for lunch and we enjoyed a delicious and authentic meal together. We took off to Roosevelt Island and learned it’s storied history and conquered part of Central Park. Many New Yorkers that I spoke with during the trip stated that we saw parts of New York that they had not even been to and were very impressed with what we covered in a one day time period. He continued to check in with us for the duration of our trip to assure our Broadway show experiences were satisfactory and he gave us more good recommendations. I can’t wait to book him again to tackle another part of NYC with my husband and other two sons in the future. He is a wealth of knowledge, personality, and fun. Adam is passionate about his city and wants you to enjoy it as much as he does. He is the best kept secret in the city and you should book him while you still can!!

"Adam is great for newbies and experienced NYC visitors alike. I am often in NYC for work so it was important that I get a guide that could show me something new. Adam took us to Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO and it was an amazing experience! I have taken many tours and work in the industry as a guide. I have a pretty high bar and Adam sailed right over it. Why? He took personalized to the next level -- really becoming our friend in the city for the length of our stay. He listened to us and gave the tour that best fit our needs (less walking, moderate amount of stories, and great photo ops). He is also just so friendly and fun! If you are going to spend a morning, a day, or several days with a guide it's important to be comfortable with them and being with Adam was like being with an old friend. I honestly can't recommend him enough."

Spending the day with Adam was incredible! We learned so much during our tour. Adam gifted us with an appreciation and love for the parts of the city we didn’t even know existed and may not have visited!
 

As a family of four with a pre-teen and a full teenager, we opted for the Brooklyn Heights/DUMBO/Brooklyn Bridge tour. It turned out to be the perfect mix of interest, history, and beauty! I cannot recommend taking a tour with Adam enough, after spending the day with him we wished he was with us all week. Having someone who knows the history of the area you are exploring is everything not to mention the fact that I as the primary planner of activities could check out for the day and just follow Adam and take it all in. I didn't have to think about where the nearest bathroom was if we were hitting all the highlights in the area, or if we were taking the right train. Adam does it all and will even make sure you know where to eat and grab a tasty treat!
 

Adam is also more than happy to take photos of you in all the key places. The best photos of our trip were the ones Adam took! When people asked us what we saw in NY, we all talk about the day we spent with Adam. He is not only a seasoned tour guide, but he knows how to "read the room" and is extremely flexible with what is working for you and what isn't. Do yourself and your group a favor and book Adam, we are so glad we did!

This review is to highly recommend Adam Guy of "I Know A Guy NYC Tours". After reading Adam's outstanding online reviews, we decided to sign up for his private tour. I was soon to learn firsthand why people raved about him.

A few weeks before we arrived in NYC, Adam called me so we could discuss what we wanted to see & what our plans were during our stay. Adam recommended that we start our vacation with his tour which proved to be great advice. As a senior, I was also concerned about doing too many stairs and Adam took that into account. He also said that I could call/text him if I had any additional questions before the trip. When I hung up the phone I knew we'd made a good choice.

On our first full day in NYC, we went on Adam's 3 1/2-hour walking tour of Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, and the Brooklyn Bridge. He met us at our hotel and then led us to the subway. Adam wanted us to learn how to comfortably take the subway around NYC during the rest of our stay. That knowledge proved to be so helpful. As we walked through each neighborhood, Adam shared lots of fascinating current and historical details about what we saw. His stories were educational, often humorous, very memorable, and never boring. The tours the rest of the week made more sense because of the foundation and perspectives he had provided.

Can't say enough good things about Adam. It was great to have a personal guide focus on our interests and at our pace. I also recommend Adam's tours for families, because you don't have to keep up with a group. So glad I discovered his website during an online search. All 3 of us loved his tour and are happy to recommend him to our friends.

"My MIL happened upon Adam's IKAG tour by chance, and I am SO glad we did! I wasn't sure about doing a tour as I usually like to meander and find my own gems but this week we stayed in the West Village and weren't familiar with the location. Adam was incredible from the moment we contacted him, letting us text him to ask ALL our questions beforehand, sending us pics of the hotel so we could easily find it, leaving a welcome note with the concierge, giving us MUCH more time than we booked, customizing our tour so it wasn't a canned spiel but was clearly tailored for us based on the info he gathered in our texts back and forth. Everyone knows you can head to Magnolia for a treat, but not everyone knows how to find Adam is a delight. Don't miss this tour and your chance to meet this sweet and helpful guy I know!"

We were fortunate to spend a good half day touring Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo and crossing the Brooklyn Bridge (and various streets and subways in between to get there) with Adam. And boy does this man know New York! But more than that he knows how to do a tour. At no point did we feel like we were on an organised tour (and I’ve done plenty of those!!) It felt we were walking through neighbourhood streets with a newly found friend who we knew we would happily meet up with again when we next return.
I cannot recommend Adam highly enough! If you have never been to New York, or if you have been there countless times but want a new spin on what you’ve seen or what you’ve never had the opportunity to experience contact him!! I was fortunate to have a close friend put me in contact with him before we left and I have already passed on the favour to another friend. Thank you Adam 🙏🏻. It was a day we will always remember.

Adam is just fantastic! He kept us interested and entertained and found the perfect balance between chatting and simply exploring. We learned about the history of the area with some really fun stories throughout. My 14 year old said that if all of her high school teachers were as engaging as Adam that she’d learn so much more (and I agree!) and the only souvenir my 12 year old wanted from the trip was a Brooklyn hoodie so that speaks volumes coming from a middle-school guy!

We covered a lot of ground but didn’t feel rushed and also had plenty of bathroom/snack breaks as needed. I’m so grateful for Adam’s easy nature - he is truly an ambassador to NYC. I’m confident that our entire trip was as jam-packed, but also carefree and magical, because of Adam’s help! What a fantastic adventure. We’re still beaming weeks later!"

Couldn't have asked for a better time! We had a group of 11, half of which were between 6 and 12 years old, and Adam couldn't have been better. He had great insight on all the places we visited and handled the 1 million questions from the kids exceptionally well! I highly recommend to anyone visiting NYC. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

"Adam did a personalized tour for my daughter’s 13th birthday trip to NYC. It was the best trip and all because of Adam. He hit highlights that we all liked and enjoyed and showed us special things about the city while hitting the big tourist type things. He engaged with each member of the family so we all got individual time to talk about the city and he made my daughter feel like the trip was all about her. She is still talking about this trip over a month later! When Adam left us to go home we truly felt sad and missed him as we explored the city on our own. Although he was just a text away when we had questions! Adam is not a tour guide he is a friend that likes to show people his city- he provides a unique experience and created memories for us just like he was our friend. Using Adam at I know A Guy is the best decision you will make and best money you will spend!"

"Loved Adam Guy! He went out of his way to tailor the tour to our desires. Not only that but he advised us on other things to do during our trip. It was like having a friend that lives in the city! Excellent and knowledgeable tour guide. We heard about him from friends - one of the best recommendations!"

"We just wrapped a great tour with Adam Guy. Everything was top notch from start to finish. Planning was easy - we didn’t have a lot of time but he helped me to prioritize what we did on the tour and made great suggestions for what we did on our it own later. The whole process is very personalized- my children (teens) really enjoyed themselves and I found it so relaxing and fun. I’d recommend to anyone and a tour with I Know A Guy tours will be on our list for our next trip to NYC!!"

"Super impressed with Adam Guy!!! I would give him 10 stars if I could. We asked for an off the beaten path tour of Queens. Adam was super accommodating! He is personable, kind, witty, friendly and knowledgeable! He went out of his way to plan a very fun, informative and exciting tour covering some of the best highlights of “Queens”!

We had the best time! Even though we had not met him until the day of the tour, by the end of our time together, we felt like we had made a true friend! Highly recommend Adam and will definitely schedule with him again next time we visit NYC!"

"Adam gave myself, my daughter and our two friends a walking tour of Brooklyn. We explored the brownstones, churches, the beautiful view of NYC from Brooklyn. Went to DUMBO industrial area, walked over the Brooklyn bridge, rode the subway. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and turned out to be a great photographer to top it all off. We came to NYC to celebrate my daughter’s sixteenth birthday, he made sure she had all the photos she wanted. He went above and beyond our expectations before, during and after the tour. He gave us pointers on taking the subway and we saved a ton of money and time instead of Ubers! I would highly recommend anyone to see Adam while in NYC! You won’t regret it."

"Our family of 4 spent a half day with Adam walking the streets of Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo, ending with the walk across Brooklyn Bridge.  Adam really knows New York. Not only did he take us on a great walking tour, but he helped us with a full itinerary for our stay in New York. As first time visitors, the insider info was really valuable. We recommend him highly!"

"I came across Adam's tour on my local mom's Facebook page. After reading reviews and visiting Adam's webpage, I decided to book with him. He contacted me the day I made the reservation to discuss what I was looking for out of the tour. My kids had never been to NYC and my husband had only been twice before. I knew my kids, particularly my 11 year old, would be really interested in Chinatown. Although I had lived in NYC for a few years, it was nearly 20 years ago, and Chinatown wasn't a neighborhood with which I had much familiarity. Adam suggested a few possible tour routes that would incorporate Chinatown. It all sounded great. We decided on a route that started in Brooklyn (another neighborhood I didn't know well at all), crossed the Bridge, and ended in Chinatown and Little Italy. Adam checked in with us the day we checked into our hotel. And, on the day of our tour, he met us promptly in our hotel lobby. Adam tailored our tour to keep our 8 and 11 year olds engaged. Everyone loved the tour. Everyone loved Adam! By the end of the tour, the kids were asking whether he was coming with us to our show that evening. And, when Adam checked in with us on the day our departure, the kids were eager and happy to see him. We had a fantastic time! I highly recommend "I Know A Guy" and will be sure to spread the word!"

"We had a once in a lifetime trip for our mother and her 3 girls to New York City. The trip was priceless for us, We could not have been more pleased with Adam! I meet Adam through a referral from a friend and emailed him about 9 days before we were scheduled to leave for NY. HE CALLED ME right then .. not just email, not text but an actual phone call!! His tips, suggestions, help with our itinerary before we even booked a tour was most helpful! We decided on a tour of Greenwich Village, the High Line, and Chelsea Market —jammed packed with the best secrets! His knowledge of the area was incredible. His personality was the best… easy going, funny, genuine, and courteous. We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful tour guide to make already special trip even more spectacular!"

"We signed up for a tour with Adam and it was all you would expect and more! There were 3 of us that toured Roosevelt Island with him. His knowledge of the island and his passion for the island were remarkable. I would recommend using Adam for any tour. He even helped us navigate the Subway!"

Adam is an amazing tour guide who keeps his audience engaged with the most interesting and fun facts about the city! Adam is extremely knowledgeable and kind, will curate a tour towards your liking, could not recommend him more! Each time I learn new facts, even as a local!!! Thank you Adam!

"Adam was fantastic! Can’t recommend him highly enough! He was so knowledgeable whilst friendly and fun. We walked Brooklyn Bridge, toured Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo,

stopping at local quirky coffee shops, a chocolate factory & rode the carousel. He went so much further than the extra mile - even taking us to a swanky cocktail bar to finish, then making us dinner reservations at a great Italian place! Great value for the money and would definitely book him again! Thanks for the best day, Adam."

"On a trip to NYC, we booked a tour with Adam Guy, I Know a Guy NYC Tours. Our group consisted of 3 older women, so walking and stairs needed to be considered. Adam listened to what we wanted to see then personalized a tour based on our interests and limitations. He brought history into our tour with little known facts/details that made it so much more interesting. Adam is knowledgeable, personable, funny and kind. Thanks Adam for making my first trip to NYC such a wonderful experience."

"Our tour of Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, and over the Brooklyn Bridge was just wonderful. We learned a lot and frankly couldn't have had the same experience without Adam. My 15 year old also seemed to make it a point to walk near him...I think he was keenly interested in all the history Adam was sharing. That says a lot! Adam was so friendly before, during, and after the tour. It was like he was our own personal concierge as I bounced difference ideas and questions off of him. Highly recommend. We'll do it again to tour Roosevelt Island I think! Just need to get back to the city."

"I can not say enough about Adam of 'I Know a Guy, New York tours'. He is an awesome communicator, reaching out before and after the tour to ask what we wanted to see and how we were after the tour. He is a wealth of knowledge and took us to breathtaking Roosevelt Island between Manhattan and Queens and then through Bloomingdales to tour Central Park. He is the kindest person and gifted us both amazing chocolates for my 50th birthday! 

Spending the afternoon with Adam was truly magical and he is a true gem in every way. Thanks Adam for your kindness and thoughtfulness! Looking forward to our next tour with you in NYC."

The best tour I have ever been on. Entertained our granddaughters, the 8 yr old said the day was “awesome”. He even made sure I was able to cross something off my bucket list. Highly recommend.

"We had a wonderful day with Adam. It was like a tour of NYC with your brother, the one you like. Lots of history and great walking exercise. We would recommend for any looking to find the hidden gems in NYC."

"The ideal is to have a friend in New York who could show you around the city. If you do not have that friend, I Know A Guy in NYC that will make you feel like you are being shown the City by a friend. He can design the tour himself or you can tell him what you want to see and he will take you there. He simply wants you to love the city as much as he does."

"Adam took me and a few friends on a tour of Hell’s Kitchen, Times Square, theater district, and Grand Central Terminal. He was extremely knowledgeable and had many great stories that helped our entire group connect with the rich history of NYC."

"The best tour we have had. The only way to see NY's best bits is with a local. We can't thank Adam enough taking us around parts that we wouldn't have found or had time for. We took a subway, carousal ride, bridge, ferry, cable car and even had great weather. All made our walk, views, photos and experience amazing. Highly recommend to anyone visiting NY that needs guide, Adam's your guy."

"Adam Guy was recommended to us through a friend and we contacted him right away to ask how this tour with him works. Adam asked us what WE want to see. He recommended some areas in NYC, and we built a trip through the city together with him.
 

Walking through NYC with Adam is a great experience - he knows so much about the city and so many great stories. He told us the whole story behind how the Brooklyn Bridge was built and especially by whom it was finished. Adam is a great guy, who not only knows a lot about his city but who also is fun to be around and made us feel comfortable in this big and great city! We now can proudly say we "Know a guy a New York City."

"Adam took us through Brooklyn and Dumbo on our second day in the city. The tour routes are well planned and he’s full of information - historical, fun facts and even city plans for the future! We were enjoying our tour so much, we decided to book another tour for our last day! He took time to learn what we have not seen and took us to the spots we missed.

Adam showed us parts of New York City that we never would have found. He is personable, funny, thoughtful and will be the first person we call when planning our next trip to NY!"

"Amazing experience! Couldn’t have asked for a better guide to NYC! My dad booked two half-day tours with Adam from “I Know a Guy” and we are so glad we did. Right from our first enquiry, Adam was helpful and informative, making sure that our plans aligned. Even though we were half a planet away in New Zealand, Adam made sure we got a tailored tour that fit us perfectly and kept up great communication both before and after we arrived. The best way I can describe it is imagine you have a good friend that just wants you to have the best time in their city, that’s Adam.""

"Adam Guy was wonderful. The perfect match for a family tour. Fascinating anecdotes, agile, and engaging in conversation, history, and sharing advice. The best way to experience NYC. Not just A Guy. He is THE Guy."

"I wish I had more than 5 stars to give, as we had a five-star + adventure with Adam. My husband and I were making a 3-day trip to NYC. We both had been to the city on other occasions and had seen all the major attractions, so we were looking for something different.

A mutual friend highly recommended Adam. I filled out the booking form on his website, and my phone rang 10 minutes later. Adam asked all the right questions, quickly gauged what we were looking for, and proposed ideas for filling the day.

Even before our trip began, I knew this adventure would be top-notch. This was the week that the FAA had software issues. Adam proactively checked in to make sure we were OK with flights and was ready to help if we weren't. He wanted to ensure we had a great NYC visit - before, during, and after the time that we were spending with him.

Our day was filled with lots of walking, amazing history lessons, fun pop culture connections, great food stops, and top-notch public restroom stops! We never felt rushed but moved at a really good pace - stopping when we saw something interesting to and skipping things that weren't.

Adam successfully filled our huge need - wanting to explore and learn the city but not wanting to self-navigate or have our nose in a book or phone reading about what we were looking at. I highly recommend using I Know a Guy NYC tours for your needs. Adam made our trip super special and an experience that we'll never forget."

"Adam took us around and was so knowledgeable about the city ! He will customize your tour to fit your needs! Not only was he an amazing tour guide, he helped map out an itinerary for our whole trip! Personalized and great service! 5 stars for this kind and sweet “guy”. Look him up if you are going to NYC ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Best tour I’ve ever taken in NYC!! As a native New Yorker, I needed someone who both knew I knew NYC but also knew that I didn’t really! Adam setup the perfect customized tour of Greenwich Village. We ended with a perfect cronut. I learned a lot of history and uncovered small trinkets of the city I will remember forever and be able to tell friends about forever. Thanks Adam!"

"Adam is amazing and goes above and beyond. He gives amazing insight on his tours and knows where to go to get amazing views of the city and to discover the many gems of the city. He loves NYC and it shows. I can't wait to do it again."

"My wife and I had never been to NYC, we are in our early 70ties. Our granddaughter had used Adam, so we set up a tour. The tour took us away from the rat race and was very informative as well as enjoyable. We highly recommend Adam and will use him again when we return to see more of NYC."

"My family did a tour with Adam Guy in July 2022 and had a blast. Adam is not your normal tour guide. We booked his tour a month in advance, and he reached out to us almost immediately. Because we were NYC novices, Adam provided lengthy e-mails recommending sites worth visiting, particularly those requiring advanced booking. Because he is a Broadway fanatic, he gave us opinions on what would work (and not work) well for our finicky teenagers. The day of our arrival (one day prior to our tour), he reached out to make sure we did not have any immediate questions about items such as subway fares and routes. What kind of tour guide devotes this much engagement PRIOR to a tour? Adam does.

He is both passionate and knowledgeable about NYC, offering anecdotes on everything from the origins of the city to how the Brooklyn Bridge was built to where Matt Damon has an apartment. Importantly, Adam also knows where to eat, whether that is the best bagel in town or an amazing lobster roll for lunch. We now know a Guy in NYC, and we will certainly book another tour with him when we visit next."

"My husband and I have been to NYC several times but we've never quite experienced the city the way we did when we were re-introduced to it by I Know A Guy NYC tours (aka Adam Guy).
Adam's intimate knowledge of the city is truly incredible. I feel like we saw New York in "super high fidelity" compared to other times we've visited the city. He took us through Grand Central Station and pointed out small details that have real significance but that, as a visitor to the city, we would never have noticed. We can't recommend "I Know A Guy" highly enough."

"Adam is not only knowledgable of special places, but he is aware of YOUR interests and mood. So he can make your tour unforgettable like our stroll in Central Park. Highly recommended!."

"From the moment I booked our walking tour with Adam, I knew we’d made the right choice. He contacted me before our trip to ensure we were all sorted and was happy to provide advice on other aspects of our trip, including recommending some good airport transfer services. On arrival at our hotel we were greeted with a small welcome package with maps etc and a note welcoming us to NYC, such a great and unexpected personal touch. For our half day tour Adam took myself and my 3 daughters round locations, many of which we would probably never have found by ourselves. He was very knowledgeable about all the areas (and where some celebs could be found which impressed my girls!) and gave us loads of interesting facts. He was incredibly friendly and the time just flew by as we walked and talked our way around the city. Post our tour, Adam continued to check in on us to see if we needed any other help while we in the city which was above and beyond my expectations. I’d never done anything like this before but would absolutely recommend Adam and ‘I Know A Guy NYC’ tours!

You would be hard pressed to find a more genuinely nice guy who truly enjoys showing people around a town he loves so much. Adam took us around Brooklyn and showed us a side of the borough that made it magical. All the stories and background of everything he pointed out made us feel like insiders. Adam listened to what we wanted from a tour and more than delivered a fabulous experience. I highly recommend I Know A Guy Tours for all your sightseeing needs. He is a NYC treasure!

Adam was amazing!! He personalized the tour just for us and the things we wanted to see. He was very knowledgeable and kind. He even dropped off a NYC survival kit to our hotel. He has a definite passion for New York and giving you a real experience of NYC, not just the tourist attractions. He answered all of our questions before and after our tour, gave us pointers on where to go and places to eat which were all on point. I highly recommend taking his tour!!""

"Adam’s knowledge of the city is deep, but most importantly, he brings an intoxicating mix of color and passion to the stories that he shares that brings the city alive for visitors. I learned about why the New York subway system has both letters and numbers and where to take a killer Instagram photo of the Manhattan Bridge. He was a very empathetic, knowing precisely the right moment to offer bathroom breaks or a coffee pit stop. Adam was genuine, kind and just so much fun to be with on our tour. He may be the most curious and energetic GUY I KNOW in New York."

"I mean great person, personality and just a wonderful time and experience on our walking tour of the Brooklyn Bridge, DUMBO."

"Adam was such a helpful and enthusiastic tour guide! We had a fantastic time walking around Soho, the Village, the Meatpacking District and the High Line. It was a great balance of spontaneity and planning, and Adam took our interests and needs into account when planning the day. He was communicative before, during and after the planned tour and we couldn't speak more highly of the experience! Definitely a "must-do" in NYC."

"This was the best visit to NYC thanks to Adam Guy! We went to places that we never would have gone on our own. Adam is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional! I highly recommend you book a full day. You won’t regret it! I’m so glad we Know a Guy! You must meet him too!"

"Three of us spent a wonderful day with Adam. I had been to NY before but saw and learned so many new things about this amazing city. Adam was most accommodating and lots of fun to be with. I would highly recommend “I KNOW A GUY NYC Tours” to anyone wanting a fabulous personalized tour of New York."

"Adam met us at our hotel and so began our amazing NYC adventure as we explored Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, and the financial district. He was so warm, informative, funny and interested in our lives and what brought us to this city that he loves so much. He provided great tips for Broadway shows, too."

Adam was super friendly. One of our group was using a wheelchair so a relaxed walking pace. He had a lot of local knowledge. Adam made sure we got to next destination ok and messaged us in the evening to make sure we got home ok. A really fantastic experience and a brilliant guide.

"Best guide ever! We had an amazing day in New York City and that couldn’t have been possible without our guide, Adam. He is so witty and entertaining and let’s not forget about knowledgeable - everywhere we went, he shared all kinds of interesting information with us, the type of information that makes you wonder how on earth he knows all these tidbits and fun facts. He answered all our questions and made the experience unique and tailored to our interests. You can tell he really loves what he does. Our tour was fantastic and if you’re going to NYC, I absolutely recommend reaching out to Adam!"

"From meeting and greeting to saying goodbye and all in between, Adam was bursting with enthusiasm, warmth, and energy. He took us all over the place, which enabled us to see places we wouldn't have otherwise."

"So many wonderful things to say about our tour where do I begin... He helped us get a great spot at the Macy's Day Parade. We were so close and could see everything, then on to the subway (hmm are we going uptown or downtown?) No worries… Adam knew exactly where to go! He was very knowledgeable of the history and knew tons of fun facts about the area. He even found the perfect pretzel stand. Highly recommend this tour, especially on your first day if possible. Adam was very accessible via text, email and social media, he helped us our whole trip not just on our tour date. Thank you Adam!."

"Adam is filled with a wealth of fun facts while touring NYC! He’s fun, witty and provides you with a fabulous time. He makes you feel like a local by taking you throughout the city’s neighborhoods and showing you great spots to check out on your own, including where the best spot is to grab a slice of pizza! Be sure to ask him what shows to take in while NYC, too. He’s an expert when it comes to on and off Broadway shows and has seen an impressive amount himself."

"Adam took us to the best views of the city, complete with funny and interesting historical and architectural facts. Adam is about 98% charm and lovely human and then about 200% curiosity about everything around him. He picked up on a lot of our random comments, edited the tour to hit some extra spots he thought we’d like (he was absolutely correct!). He also left us with a list of places to try for our favorite desserts!! If you want to feel like you’re touring NYC with a dear old friend, well, I KNOW A GUY!!! Adam loves the city and about a third of the way through your day with him, you will too!!."

"My wife and I had never been to NYC. We are in our early seventies. Our granddaughter had used Adam, so we set up a tour. The tour took us away from the rat race and was very informative and enjoyable. We highly recommend Adam and will use him again when we return to see more of NYC.."

"Adam isn't your typical tour guide. No words can describe the awesome experience he created just for us! The thought and consideration that Adam put into our tour was clear right away. He knows his way around and he knows the tiniest details about things you would only know if you google them. If you ever need the perfect tour guide in NYC, Adam's YOUR GUY!!! Perfect tour guide, energetic and kind and created a memorable experience...not one that you can just get simply by looking at pictures online. Thank you Adam! Next time we come back, we're calling you!"
