The 2026 Production Slate

Private NYC Walking Tours & Rates

To walk through New York is to realize that the towering bridges, historic fire escapes, and raw grit of the pavements look and feel exactly like a living movie set. But a great city is more than its surface-level postcards.

Below, you will find my structured production formats designed to explore the dramatic Chiaroscuro of the five boroughs—the interplay between monumental, iconic landmarks and the sophisticated, raw human histories pulsing right beside them. Look through the lens of my available tours and select the pacing that fits your curiosity.

THE TRAILER | IL TRAILER

2-Hour Private NYC Walking Tour — $175

A high-impact, fast-paced glimpse into the city’s soul. Think of this as a concentrated 120-minute introduction to seeing what others walk right past. We ditch the rehearsed guidebook routines to focus our visual lens tightly on a single iconic neighborhood or two adjacent zones, capturing the essential history and architectural character of the area.

THE SHORT SUBJECT | IL CORTOMETRAGGIO

4-Hour Private NYC Walking Tour — $350

My signature half-day narrative walk. This timeframe gives us plenty of room to explore at your own pace, connecting the dots across a sequence of adjacent neighborhoods to watch how the city’s identity shifts block by block across the pavement. It is the ideal rhythm for experiencing New York’s incredible scale while uncovering its deep, living layers of history and culture.

THE FEATURE PRESENTATION | IL LUNGOMETRAGGIO

8-Hour Private NYC Walking Tour — $550

My signature full-day journey. Think of this as an expansive, collaborative framework built entirely around your family’s or group’s specific interests. An entire day allows us to explore the dramatic rhythm of New York across different boroughs and eras, balancing “The Big Picture” skyline with “The Hidden Details”—the quiet courtyards, local neighborhood haunts, and intricate architectural textures that a shorter walk simply cannot capture.

THE ANTHOLOGY | L’ANTOLOGIA

Multi-Day Private Custom Tour — Inquire for Quote

​The sprawling, multi-chapter urban epic. An interconnected saga spread across several days that treats the entire metropolis as a living, breathing history. Acting as your dedicated local companion, I will help you navigate the city safely and comfortably. Because this is a highly customized, multi-day experience, we will conduct a pre-tour conversation to draft a fluid narrative arc tailored entirely to your interests.

THE METHODOLOGY

The Unscripted Narrative vs. The Rehearsed Script

​Most sightseeing tours stick to a rigid, pre-written script; I prefer a live, spontaneous experience that we write together in real time. By framing the metropolis around your precise curiosity, we move entirely beyond a traditional guidebook routine.

​A director does not build the city; they choose where to place the frame, what details to highlight, and when to linger on a shadow. I curate the pace and the narrative arc of our walk on the pavement—whether that means taking a break for a hot coffee on a freezing winter afternoon, shifting our route to add an unexpected stop, or pausing for deep conversations about architecture, neighborhood stories, and changing environments. You are the absolute protagonist of your own unscripted urban story.
