Audio-narrated open-top night bus through NYC landmarks from Midtown billboards to One World Trade Center, with headphones in 11 languages.

Self-guided audio tour inside St. Patrick's Cathedral with entry, multiple languages, and an easy way to explore at your pace.
“The person in charge of getting us started wasn't at all attentive. The stations were out of order, so it made it difficult to follow. THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE. almost impossible to navigate.”
Skip-the-queue ferry and audio guide to Liberty Island and Ellis Island, with museum stops and self-paced sightseeing from Battery Park.
“Amazing day! The audio guide was super easy to use and told great stories about the history. We loved being able to walk around at our own speed without a guide rushing us.”
A self-guided audio walk on Fifth Avenue, from the Metropolitan Club to the Met, with GPS cues, offline audio, and Gilded Age stories.
“Great tour to do alone on a beautiful day in NYC, especially ending at the Met. I was under the impression from another tour that all the gilded age mansions were gone, but this tour took us to lots of different homes. Lots of great historical information!”
Guided Hamilton audio walking tour through Lower Manhattan, from Bowling Green to Trinity Church, with a live guide and included site stops.
“We had a tour scheduled but the guide was ill so we scrambled and found Dana and are so glad we did. She gave our family of 4 - kids ages 12 and 14- a perfect Hamilton experience. It was about 90 min long which was honestly the perfect length for our attention spans. She’s great at getting to the interesting details without all the blah blah blah. Recommend!”
A 30-minute self-guided VoiceMap audio walk through NYC’s Financial District, featuring Charging Bull, the Federal Reserve, and key landmarks.
“Didn't really get a lot of info. Very surface-level and not much quantity. A quick Google search of what you are walking by would give more details. I would not recommend. Thankfully, it was cheap.”
