Tour Company
Hello There!
We’re Original NYC - an energetic team of Brooklyn, NYC-based locals who love to share our hometown with those looking for an off-the-beaten-path & genuine New York City experience.
Experience NYC
Like a True Local
See the city through the eyes of the people who actually walk the walk. We’re family-owned, locally operated, and 100% New York.
Offered by no one else, our guided bike & walking tours are a fun & effortless way to explore the city, from a local's perspective - no crowds, tourist traps or busy streets - just the true NYC culture and character to enjoy.
Cover more ground while enjoying an easy & safe walk or bike ride through the greatest city in the world!
We Don’t Follow Maps
We Make Moments
The ride is flat and easy, not high-intensity, and you can choose to ride the ferry back with your guide to the starting point to add an additional experience to the list.
Fun & Safe
The ride is scenic, safe, and fun! No need to be an avid cyclist, as approximately 90% of the tour route is cycled through traffic-free bike lines.
Easy
Our friendly & personable guides will give you a distinctly personal experience. Tour groups are limited in size so it’s easy to stay together. Families are more than welcome.
Personal
While soaking up the most beautiful views of the city, our fun & knowledgable (and, licensed) tour guides will take you through some of NYC's most vibrant areas.
Energizing
Our Favorite Corners of the City—With You
Our tours are designed to feel less like a checklist and more like being shown around by someone who truly knows the city. We keep things personal—small groups, real conversations, and space to actually take it all in.
By the end, it won’t feel like you “did a tour”, it’ll feel like you experienced New York with someone on the inside.

We Live Here. We Love It. We Share It.
New York City attracts millions of travelers each year for its style, iconic history and hub of modernity. But let’s face it - it’s filled with head spinning crowds and tourist traps, not to mention plenty of tour companies eager to take your money in exchange for a cookie-cutter experience.
Original NYC is not like the others
We created Original NYC out of passion for the city and delight in sharing it with others. We're a family-owned business run by friendly local New Yorkers. We offer visitors a genuine experience through our fun and easy guided walking and bike tours. Our friendly and knowledgeable guides will take you through some of the most vibrant areas of the city—including places only true New Yorkers know about. We’ll take you along rarely traveled routes with the most spectacular views of NYC while showcasing the distinct personality of the city we call home.
With entertaining insight and stunning photos in hand, you’ll leave the tour an NYC original yourself.
We’re Hip and Friendly
We consider you to be a new friend! Just like any good friend, we’ll let you in on some insider-only secrets—taking a little-known scenic route with curated stops at places only true New Yorkers know.
