About

I have lived in New York City for 10 years and have fallen in love with everything about it. From exploring neighborhoods and learning the history to sampling restaurants and attending Broadway shows, I simply love it all. My passion shines through when I give tours. I am a total people person and love helping them have a great experience during their visit. I have an innate ability to quickly turn a stranger into a comfortable and trusting relationship within the first few minutes of meeting someone. My goal is to get a visitor to fall in love with the city as much as I love it. More often than not, they do!

Testimonials

"Absolutely recommend Adam for your tour guide needs. He was so accommodating of everyone in the group. Gave me all of my history/architectural moments, as well as cute spots for photos for my teenage niece. We had a great time! Thanks Adam for showing us around NYC!!!" - Elizabeth Grant., Houston, TX

"Adam gave myself, my daughter and our two friends a walking tour of Brooklyn. We explored the brownstones, churches, the beautiful view of NYC from Brooklyn. Went to DUMBO industrial area, walked over the Brooklyn bridge, rode the subway. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and turned out to be a great photographer to top it all off. We came to NYC to celebrate my daughter’s sixteenth birthday, he made sure she had all the photos she wanted. He went above and beyond our expectations before, during and after the tour. He gave us pointers on taking the subway and we saved a ton of money and time instead of Ubers! I would highly recommend anyone to see Adam while in NYC! You won’t regret it." - Lisa Crehore., Newberry, FL

"Couldn't have asked for a better time! We had a group of 11, half of which were between 6 and 12 years old, and Adam couldn't have been better. He had great insight on all the places we visited and handled the 1 million questions from the kids exceptionally well! I highly recommend to anyone visiting NYC. I promise you won’t be disappointed." - Evan Sheward., Atlanta, GA

"I have been to New York many times but this was a trip I will never forget. Adam was exceptional from begin to end. He met us every morning at our hotel and had our whole day custom planned to fit our needs. He took us all over the city, to many places I had never been and told us the history or an interesting fun fact. His knowledge was amazing. We covered so much ground in two days, we ate and laughed our way through New York. I would recommend Adam to anyone!"- Nardene Hatz., Marietta, GA

"My husband and I have been to NYC several times but we've never quite experienced the city the way we did when we were re-introduced to it by I Know A Guy NYC tours (aka Adam Guy). Adam's intimate knowledge of the city is truly incredible. I feel like we saw New York in "super high fidelity" compared to other times we've visited the city. He took us through Grand Central Station and pointed out small details that have real significance but that, as a visitor to the city, we would never have noticed. We can't recommend "I Know A Guy" highly enough." - Mardee Austin, Seattle, WA

"You would be hard pressed to find a more genuinely nice guy who truly enjoys showing people around a town he loves so much. Adam took us around Brooklyn and showed us a side of the borough that made it magical. All the stories and background of everything he pointed out made us feel like insiders. Adam listened to what we wanted from a tour and more than delivered a fabulous experience. I highly recommend I Know A Guy Tours for all your sightseeing needs. He is a NYC treasure!" - Robyn Toppall, Arlington, Virginia

"Adam was such a helpful and enthusiastic tour guide! We had a fantastic time walking around Soho, the Village, the Meatpacking District and the High Line. It was a great balance of spontaneity and planning, and Adam took our interests and needs into account when planning the day. He was communicative before, during and after the planned tour and we couldn't speak more highly of the experience! Definitely a "must-do" in NYC." - Angelica Shanahan, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

"Adam met us at our hotel and so began our amazing NYC adventure as we explored Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, and the financial district. He was so warm, informative, funny and interested in our lives and what brought us to this city that he loves so much. He provided great tips for Broadway shows, too." - Tanya Green, Ottawa, Canada

"Simply fabulous! It felt like we were meeting an old friend. Adam was so knowledge about the city and its history. We gained confidence using the subway. There is no way we would have seen as much on our own. WHAT A GUY!" - Narelle A., Glenalta, Australia
