About me:
From Brittany to New York, via Southeast Asia: I'm Guillaume, your passionate guide to the Big Apple. After strolling the streets of Hong Kong and enjoying Balinese life for several years, it was in the creative bustle of Manhattan that I found my home base.
With three years of experience as a certified French-speaking guide for an agency in New York, I decided to become an independent guide.
As a true urban art hunter, I explore the city's areas every day to find the latest street art creations and share my discoveries. This passion for street art is combined with my love of local gastronomy, making each tour a unique experience that stimulates both the eyes and the taste buds.
My personalised approach and my intimate knowledge of New York, acquired over the years, guarantee you an authentic exploration of the city, far from the traditional tourist trails.
From a monumental mural in Bushwick to the legendary pastrami of the Lower East Side, I'll show you my New York – the New York of locals and insiders.
