Hi, I’m Kyle Atkins, a born-and-raised New Yorker and your personal New York City tour guide.
I’ve spent my life exploring the stories, streets, and soul of this city, from the timeless charm of Central Park to the secret speakeasies of the Lower East Side. What began as a love for history, food, and culture has become my passion: crafting personalized NYC tours that help travelers experience the real New York.
I’ve guided visitors from around the globe, families, couples, solo explorers, and curious minds, helping them fall in love with New York’s energy, diversity, and character. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, I’ll tailor your private New York City tour to match your pace, interests, and vibe.
From famous landmarks like Times Square and the Brooklyn Bridge to tucked-away local spots and off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods, I’ll take you beyond the postcard moments. This isn’t just a sightseeing tour, it’s a deep dive into the heart of the city.
My Tour Style
Friendly. Flexible. 100% Local.
Think of me as your streetwise storyteller, blending insider knowledge with a sense of adventure, minus the tourist traps. No cookie-cutter scripts, no overcrowded groups, just real stories, real places, and real connection.
Whether it’s a skyline sunset, a slice of pizza from a local corner joint, or a story that brings the past to life on the very street it happened, I aim to give you an experience you’ll truly remember.
I also love helping guests get the most out of their trip, from snapping better photos (and fewer selfies!) to sharing tips on what to see, eat, and avoid. Your time in NYC should feel effortless, exciting, and deeply personal.
If you’re looking for a tour that’s more personal, more local, and way more memorable, I’d be honored to be your guide. Let’s get involved, explore New York City together and make Your NYC Experience legendary.
