About

I grew up in NY and am a history enthusiast that enjoys sharing my knowledge and experience with others.
I have a passion for NYC and a background in stand-up comedy and improv which provides for an
entertaining and awesome experience for customers on my tour. I find that people retain more information when it’s combined with humor to mix it up a bit.

Testimonials

“Jason, lots of tour guides are funny. Lots of tour guides are knowledgeable. Lots of tour guides seem to genuinely love what they do, and thus make us tourists love it too. You are one of the very few tour guides who fits all three categories. Bravo!” -Claudia

“We found a most amazing and entertaining tour guide in Jason Stein!!! A wealth of knowledge about the whole of New York, all of its sights, museums, famous buildings, famous people, facts and fictions old and new. Funny, approachable, interactive and so helpful with other questions we asked. Just a breath of fresh air!! Really took pride in offering us all an overview of this beautiful city and it was obvious he loved sharing his knowledge and his love of the city with others. We did the whole 2-3 hour tour with him and then another uptown tour later. The following morning we hopped on again thinking we would jump off half way through but when we found we had Jason once again, we just had to do the whole trip once more!! Great guy and if you get the chance to ride with him, do the whole circuit, you won't regret it!!”         Social Media reviewer

“My sisters and I had the pleasure of having Jason Stein as our tour guide this past Saturday morning. We were so impressed that we never got off the bus at any of the stops, but stayed on for the entire tour. Jason was absolutely fabulous - full of information, historical facts, and quick witted. Your company must be so proud to have such an exceptional guide! Thanks Jason! You're awesome!” -Donna

Let me lavish some praise on one of your best tour guides, Jason Stein. Jason -- who I remember from his spectacular lower-Manhattan tours in 2016 -- led an Upper West Side buildings tour this year. And once again, he flawlessly walked the line between deep knowledge and open-mindedness to new facts, between comedic and professorial. He used recorded music when it fit in, a creative innovation I rarely see in volunteer tour guides. Probably the highest compliment I can give: I live in the neighborhood, and from the depth of Jason's knowledge and ease with his surroundings, I assumed he did, too. He doesn't -- yet his familiarity with and appreciation of the Upper West Side rivals that of us biased denizens. - Claudia

“My husband and I took the 12:30 Grand Central Tour yesterday with Jason Stein. We thoroughly enjoyed our day. Jason was well spoken, funny and really made this an enjoyable time. I learned five new things about Grand Central that I never knew before and have already highly recommended this tour to my family and friends. I can't wait to go rent "The Bandwagon" and re-watch "North by Northwest"!”   -Kathi
