"Don't be one of those families doing it ALL yourself!"

-- Hire me for a few hours and actually see the NYC in between the famous sites!

Commercial bus tours are OK, but the way to really show your family NYC is a personal tour--guidebooks are OK but impersonal--the things you'll remember most are my "insider's tidbits & anecdotes". Hire me for a few hours and RELAX! PLUS--get lots of helpful ideas to use during your visit! Please check out "Satisfied clients" page...actual letters from people who have toured with me & call me every time they are in NYC.

Let me make the city FUN for you--every block and side street has a story!

Commercial (double-decker) tour slogans are "unlimited hopping on & off". Then,you discover that you spend all day stopping and letting people "hop on & off"...Take a PERSONAL tour with me.

Call me--I can't call you! 212-928-1640; Jim@JimDykes.com
