See the real New York. Skip the guesswork.
Sean’s NY Tours runs small-group and private sightseeing tours across Manhattan, Brooklyn and beyond — landmarks, reserved tickets, and a licensed local guide who knows which street to turn down.
First Tour
A tour you’ll actually remember
Big-bus tours show you the city through a window. We built Sean’s NY Tours around what people say they wanted afterward: a real guide, a small group, and no lines.
Licensed Local Guides
Every tour is led by a New York City–licensed guide who lives here and knows the city beyond the landmarks.
Small Groups
Twelve guests maximum, so you can hear the guide, ask questions, and stop for the photo you want.
Tickets Handled
Ferry, observation deck and museum entries are reserved in advance. You skip the general line.
Flexible Booking
Free cancellation up to 48 hours before departure, and easy date changes if your plans move.

A half-day of highlights, a full day downtown, an evening of lights, or a private day built around you. Every tour includes a licensed guide.
