Hello, I'm Mei, and I'm a local host in the exciting city of New York! I'm a kind, friendly, open-minded, and creative person with an easygoing spirit. What I love most about New York City is its rich diversity of cultures, arts, and history. I'm always eager to explore and discover new things, and I enjoy dining out, attending shows and theater performances, and participating in various activities. I know Astoria, Queens, DUMBO, Brooklyn, and all the nooks and crannies of Manhattan like the back of my hand. I'm a total expert when it comes to taking you on off-the-beaten-path adventures away from crowded tourist spots. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned New Yorker, I promise to show you the city in a way you've never seen it before! So come join me, and let's make some amazing memories together!
Great experience to have a guide help us navigate the city and get in the sights. Our guide Mei was great, patient and we had a great time!

My wife and I toured Manhattan with Mei on 9/27 of this year. It was my first time in New York City. I'm an urban planner by trade so I wasn't as interested in the touristy areas as I could find those on my own. Mei was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the history of New York City. She brought some of the places we went to life with fascinating stories and showed us hidden gems like Fort Tryon Park. She provided insider tips that we wouldn't have found in any guidebook. The pacing of the tour was perfect and there was just the right balance of walking, exploring and taking the subway. She taught us how to do that. What really set the tour apart was how personalized it felt. Mei took the time to engage with both me and my wife and tailored the experience to our interests. She showed us the architectural history of Grand Central station and the library and made recommendations for local eateries. It was clear that she genuinely wanted us to have the ultimate New York City experience. I can't say enough good things about Mei. She is such an amazing person and you guys are lucky to have her on your team.
