New York Local has been operated by Erol Inanc since 2003. Born in Munich, Erol moved to his dream city, New York, in 1991, and his enthusiasm for the Big Apple continues to grow. He is a Licensed Tour Guide, officially recognized by the City of New York.
Erol walks 40 to 50 hours a week through the streets of New York, reads nearly every publication related to his city, and perhaps most importantly, connects with a wide range of New Yorkers to stay in tune with the city’s pulse.
Erol’s unique approach to showing visitors the city has resonated with travelers and the media alike: in addition to numerous print outlets, ARD, Vox Tours, Kabel 1, and nTV have all featured New York Local in their coverage.

After spending 15 years in the trendy neighborhoods of Downtown Manhattan, Erol made a bold change a few years ago, moving to Harlem—a neighborhood in New York that’s rapidly transforming. He incorporates these experiences into his tours and tips for guests.
To help guests who became New York fans during their visit stay connected to the most exciting city in the world, Erol has launched the New York Aktuell website. Here, you’ll find news, gossip, and personal insights from the Big Apple—a personal view of New York.
Erol looks forward to welcoming you to the most thrilling city in the world.
