Dear New York Visitors,
New York is the most fascinating and thrilling city in the world.
When a traveler first steps onto the streets of Manhattan, they feel as though they’ve walked onto a film set. The island between the Hudson and East River exudes an energy and metropolitan vibe so intense, it almost feels unreal.
For newcomers, it’s often challenging to navigate this immense, complex metropolis. Many try to explore New York with a guidebook in hand or take part in typical bus tours that only visit the usual landmarks, missing out on so much of what truly makes New York unique.
On a German-language New York Local city tour, however, you’ll experience the Big Apple in a much more personal, authentic, and humorous way—far from the superficial and mainstream.
Above all, you’ll see New York from the perspective of the people who live here, something that’s simply impossible on a typical city tour.
With New York Local tours, you have the chance to ask questions to someone who knows the city inside and out. You’ll receive information and personalized tips that will help you make the most of the rest of your stay in New York.
More and more people, understandably, are no longer satisfied with the conventional, standardized forms of mass tourism. They seek alternatives that allow them to experience the country and its people up close and authentically. New York Local is part of this trend. We want to offer you the opportunity to “live like a New Yorker” in the most exciting city in the world, rather than sticking only to typical tourist paths, as so many visitors unfortunately do.
“Living like a local” starts with accommodation. As an alternative to New York’s expensive, anonymous hotels filled with other visitors, New York Local offers vacation rentals in Manhattan.
We also provide comprehensive wedding packages to make your special day in New York an unforgettable, romantic experience—a wedding that’s relaxed, fun, and stress-free.
Additionally, New York Local offers tailored English language courses in New York, as well as VIP all-inclusive support.
I’ve lived in New York since 1991, spend 40-50 hours a week on the streets of my city, and read as much as my time allows about New York. But perhaps most importantly, I constantly engage with a diverse range of New Yorkers. This is the only way to stay connected to the pulse of this ever-evolving city—especially in rapidly changing areas like nightlife, culture, and shopping.
After experiencing New York from such a personal and unique perspective, many of my guests leave with the city firmly embedded in their hearts. To help these “fans” stay in touch with the “real” New York, I’ll soon be launching the German-language site New York Aktuell, featuring news, gossip, and personal insights from the Big Apple.
I warmly invite you to browse our website and explore the various services offered by New York Local.
Please feel free to email me with your questions or requests. I typically respond to emails within three days.
I look forward to welcoming you soon to New York.
Best regards from the most exciting city in the world,
Erol Inanc
