Snap epic shots of Times Square, Bryant Park, the High Line, and more with a local host guiding you to NYC's most photogenic spots.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
NYC is an Instagram dreamland. I have tons of photos from my time there, and it feels like I went on a professional photoshoot. It's just so beautiful. Get ready for an experience full of NYC magic – the kind that makes your camera roll overflow with epic shots and your heart skip a beat! Your local host will take you on a whirlwind adventure through some of my favorite spots, showing you exactly why New York never sleeps. From jaw-dropping skyscrapers to hidden gems only locals know, this experience is packed with postcard-perfect moments. So, grab your camera (or phone) because you'll be snapping non-stop!
First up: Times Square. It's loud, it's bright, and it's everything you imagined – times ten! You'll be right in the middle of those towering digital billboards flashing down at you like a neon dream. Grab a pic with the colorful street performers (yes, you'll spot everything from superheroes to head-to-toe silver-painted living statues) and soak up the chaotic energy. Whether it's your first time or your fiftieth, Times Square has that wow factor that never gets old.
Next, stroll over to Bryant Park, an urban oasis that feels like a peaceful breath in the middle of all the city's hustle and bustle. Picture this: lush green lawns framed by the shiny glass towers of midtown Manhattan. It's one of those spots where you can totally relax – but also grab some serious Instagram-worthy shots! If it's winter, you'll catch the park's transformation into a cozy winter wonderland with an ice-skating rink and a bazaar full of quirky gifts and crafts. Snap a photo of the skaters twirling, or better yet, jump on the ice yourself for a spin!
Now, head up to the High Line, a park like no other. This elevated railway turned urban jungle lets you wander through wildflowers and art installations while floating above the streets of New York. Seriously, it's like a secret garden with a view. Take in the panoramic cityscape on one side and the Hudson River on the other. The way the city meets nature up here is something special – and trust me, your photos will be next-level.
Feeling a bit peckish? Perfect, because your next stop is Chelsea Market. Step inside, and you'll feel like you've entered foodie heaven. This place is a sensory overload in the best way possible – fresh bread, gourmet cheese, handmade chocolates, and so much more, all begging to be photographed (and devoured). You'll find some killer bites here, so whether you're grabbing a lobster roll or just admiring the artsy, industrial design of the building, your taste buds and the camera will thank you!
To top it all off, end at the Brooklyn Bridge. One of New York's most iconic landmarks, this massive stone beauty has starred in more movies than you can count – and now it's your turn to walk it! Whether you stroll across or hop on the subway to the entrance, this bridge is a must-see. The views of the Manhattan skyline are absolutely stunning, and that perfect shot of the bridge stretching out ahead of you? It's one you'll treasure forever.
Throughout the experience, your local host will be there to guide you, making sure you don't miss a single hidden corner or secret spot. Plus, they'll have plenty of stories, fun facts, and local tips to share along the way. Whether you're here for the photos, the food, or just the fun, this is your chance to experience New York like a true insider. I can't wait to see the photos!

Our tour guide, Olga, took us on a fun, well-paced, historical and scenic tour of Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo neighborhoods. So much to see! Olga was knowledgeable, friendly and culturally aware of what makes Brooklyn so special. We highly recommend her to other looking to explore Brooklyn. I want to book a return trip to spend more time in Brooklyn.
Show moreThis was a girls trip. Myself, my 9 year old daughter, her best friend and her mom. All first timers, except me, and they all fell in love with NYC. And for me who’s been there many times, saw a whole new side to the city and made me love it even more. Our little girls said they would never forget Olga.
Show moreA full immersion into New York gems. Mei helped me understanding different aspects of NY by visiting Brooklyn, Dumbo, Chelsea and and by taking the ferry, bus and subway.
Show moreWe opted for the 8 hour tour and it was worth every penny. I sent our guide my desired itinerary with all of the things we’d like to see. Olga made it happen! She was so professional and very personable. She took us to local spots that were not packed with tourists, which we loved. We walked over 11 miles, so be prepared to walk a lot if you have several things you’d like to see. Olga was so well versed with directions in the city, history, art, and all of the buildings we came across. She also curated the tour to match our values and lifestyle. We appreciated her pointing out Catholic Churches along the way and she even took us into the Trump tower-which was totally cool! 11/10 recommend Olga if you want a flawless experience.
Show moreOlga was a dream of a tour guide. From the second we got linked with her via email she started emailing with ideas and itinerary items. We travelled with 2 small kids (8/10 yo) and she was patient with them needing breaks from walking. She easily accommodated their food requests. When crossing the street she always made sure they were safe. My kids instantly felt comfortable with her. She not only educated my husband and I on the city but even tailored what she said for the kids to understand. She was patient and kind. We would’ve never have done everything we did/saw in 1 day had we done it alone. She took us to great places that locals use. She was amazing and highly recommend her! If you’re on the fence about it- just do it!
