Guides Association of New York City | | Welcome to the Official Website for the Guides Association of New York City (GANYC)!
We are one of the oldest guide’s associations in America and our members take great pride in taking people around the Big Apple.
Adhering to the law, all of our members are licensed by the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs; it is illegal to conduct a tour in NYC without such a license and GANYC is always working with the city to enhance enforcement of the licensing law. GANYC was founded by licensed guides for licensed guides. | | | | From the tragic events of 9/11 and the World Trade Center site to the serenity of Central Park; from a stroll through the charming and historic streets of Greenwich Village to the chaos of Times Square; from a boat ride to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island; to an elevator soaring up the Empire State Building or the ‘Top of the Rock’; from the vast diversity of Queens to an impressive row of brownstone stoops in Brooklyn, from the sensory overload of Chinatown to a snack stop in Little Italy; from walking in the steps of George Washington to standing were the Christmas tree stands in Rockefeller Center; from unraveling the mysteries of the Bronx to an amazing collection of Buddhist art in Staten Island; and from the rush of Wall Street to the vibrancy of Harlem.
Your licensed GANYC member tour guide will help make your visit to ‘our town’ a memory that will stay with you for the rest of your life. From walking tours to bus tour ‘step-on’ guide; from limousines to bicycles; from the subway to a yacht; if it’s a means of transportation, one of our members can be there and make an amazing difference in how you enjoy, appreciate and remember the things you see and do. Also, among our members are people experienced as tour managers, airport and pier ‘meet and greeters’, interpreters, lecturers and hospitality desk personnel.
Never forget that a NYC tour guides are the best ‘bang for your tourism buck’, so take the time to enjoy our site, learn about all our members have to offer and, above all, enjoy the benefits that a Guides Association of New York City member will bring to your tour. | | | |
