Josh and Michelle SlivonWe had a wonderful trip to NYC with our three children this past week. Christine was absolutely amazing, showing us all around the city. The personalized experience was perfect and included everything we could have imagined and more!!! Thank you!
Carol HusteddeWhat a great afternoon and evening we had with Christine! We felt like she was our best friend the moment we met her. She knows how to get around quickly. She was personable, courteous and helpful. Always being aware of her surroundings, she made us feel safe. I recommend her to be your guide whether your first time or anytime you are visiting New York City. Christine is FUN and very very KNOWLEDGABLE of New York City.
Britta PritchettNYC Christine prepared a great itinerary for my husband, son and myself for a long weekend in NYC. She listened very carefully to all our ideas, wishes and desires and included something for everyone. From self guided walks and market visits, restaurants, shows and museums to personally guided days and evenings with Christine, our time was activity packed and full of unique experiences. A midnight walk through Central Park enjoying the quiet in a city that does not sleep was just one of my favorites. With Christine’s fun and refreshing personality we enjoyed walks through neighbourhoods, food tastings and hidden gems of historic buildings during our sightseeing tour. She is enthusiastic, highly motivated and accommodating, yet also easy going when showing us her city. Her love and passion for NYC is contagious and elevates the experience and excitement for the city. We left NYC with sore feet and a happy feeling of satisfaction for having taken a bite out of the big apple while we were there.
Sylvia Plath’s OvenMy partner and I just visited NYC for the first time and we hired Christine as our guide. She spent two days showing us her city. She taught us how to navigate, etiquette, and safety tips. Christine took our list of things we wanted to do and see and organized it so that way we weren’t running back and forth all over the city. She showed us her favorite spots, was friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. Another awesome thing Christine did was take photos and videos of everything so that we could be present but still have memories. I would recommend her to anyone. If you want to feel like you’re visiting a friend in New York who is showing you around then Just Ask Christine!
Kathleen ComptonThank you Christine for making our trip to NYC so memorable! My granddaughter's 12th birthday was like a dream come true. We learned so much about the city and the beauty we did not experience on a previous trip. It was awesome letting you guide and let me enjoy sightseeing without worry or planning! I highly recommend booking a tour with Christine and cannot wait until our next visit!
beth hermannI did an Upper East Side tour and it was so great. Christine did an amazing job highlighting the beauty of the neighborhood. I have lived here for a year so far and never even noticed the beautiful buildings she pointed out, or history behind different streets, signs, and buildings. Would definitely recommend to friends and family!!!
Wendy KirkpatrickWe have the most beautiful memories from our visit to Central Park thanks to Christine and Leah! We spent 4 fun filled days on an all girls, multigenerational trip to NYC. With Christine guiding us, we got to learn about the park, connect with locals and just have a blast. It was the most cherished and memorable part of our visit. So grateful!
Christopher EdenChristine is a born-and-bred New Yorker and her knowledge of the city it encyclopaedic. We had a fantastic day with her and cannot imagine that there is a better or more affable guide in NYC. She absolutely made our stay and pointed out many additional places and restaurants to visit.
lily becksteadChristine is awesome! Great tour, very energetic. We had a great time, highly recommend.
Margarita DeLashmitChristine and her staff were so good!! I'm sorry I can't remember who took us to the financial district, but she was great! Then the next morning Christine took us to Central Park. You may think you can just figure it out, but Christine showed us so much in our limited time!
