Fantastic Private NYC Tour with Jared G.
Our
family of four (including two teens) had never set foot in New York
prior to our recent nine hour layover. ... it was an afternoon/evening
layover ...
so we arranged a private tour that covered the highlights of the city.
Well, the limited highlights you can see in 5ish hours.
... our tour guide was truly
superb! He completely customized the agenda and made adjustments as we
went along to be sure we could visit our preferred areas/sights. He was
incredibly knowledgeable and just plain fun to hang out with for the
day.
Vacation time is truly precious and you'll be immensely gratified
if you spend a portion of it with ... Jared G.

Hi Jared,
I hope this note finds you well!
It
has been about two years since we last spoke and since you led a
private bus tour for my friends and family after my wedding.
I am not
kidding when I tell you that my family still talks about that tour - and
it is usually my grandparents from the Bronx and Brooklyn that are the
most complimentary of the experience. Being New Yorkers themselves,
they can be a tough crowd but you blew them away!
On
a separate note, my mom is celebrating her ____ birthday this year and
asked for a NYC "experience". She has been on your tour, and taken a ... tour of Central Park, but I think she would really love a tour of
Arthur Ave, or even Little Italy. ...

Dear Jared,
Thank you for a truly memorable tour of NYC--including Lady Liberty, Liberty Island, Ellis Island, and 911 Memorial. You made our day with
you an experience that was both educationally fascinating and FUN!!
Our children, although younger, still talk about our time with you and remember much of what you shared. To catch and keep the attention of
both young and old alike requires skill and character, and we feel you possess each of them in beautiful form.
We genuinely appreciated how you considered our input regarding pacing, timeline, and points of interest throughout the day. Spending a full day together could be overwhelming, but your thoughtfulness in taking necessary breaks and adjust pace to accommodate our family's needs made the day fabulous!
Jared, you are a gifted tour guide, one that NYC should be proud to call their own!
I am sharing below some photos of our lovely day with you.
Thank you again and many blessings to you!!
Respectfully,
The _____ Family

"Thanks Jared!! Great tour again! I'll be in touch!"
I did two tours of Public Art in Lower Manhattan for an adult education class' trips to NYC.
Less than 90 minutes and we visited sculptures in the Financial District and the World Trade Center. Abstract ones like those by Isamu Noguchi, Mark di Suvero, Louise Nevelson, duBuffet, and Fritz Koenig. We also see more realistic ones by J. Seward Johnson, and the America's Response sculpture near the 9/11 Memorial, as well as a couple by John Quincy Adams Ward of George Washington and Integrity at the New York Stock Exchange. We also experienced the Oculus building by Calatrava, and Federal Hall.
I wish we had time for the doors of Trinity Church, and the financial district sculptures of the Charging Bull and the Fearless Girl.

"we have heard great reviews about the tours...! Things have been going quite smoothly this season."
Since 2008 have been providing tours for passengers of a river cruise company that provides bus tours for their local visitors.
We see the World Trade Center, the 9/11 Memorial, and various sights in Midtown and Downtown Manhattan. I step on their bus.

Money Well Spent!Took a private guided tour of the American Museum of Natural history with Jared and had a wonderful time. Jared was super friendly and extremely knowledgable and we would not have enjoyed the experience as much without him! Reviewed August 11, 2017.

Ellis Island and the best view on the boat!Jared was great - he is funny in a very dry smart kind of way - perfect for the grownups and the kids. He kept the tour always interesting and knows exactly how to navigate the crowds, where to stand for the best view on the ferry, etc. He is solid and a great authentic choice. Our kids loved him and we think he is GREAT!!

"Ohh
Jared, you are the greatest! Thanks for taking this [New York City group tour] too; we love to
be able to communicate with the one and same tour guide in NYC.
Means a lot to us too."
This is from an adults tour operator that I've worked with for years. I do airport transfers for them, then tour through New Jersey or Queens and Manhattan, including the 9/11 Memorial, the World Trade Center, and then step on the bus to tour along the Hudson River, the Highline, the Meatpacking District, Chelsea, Midtown, Columbus Circle, Central Park, 5th Ave, Rockefeller Center, and Times Square.
