Who "WE" Are
My name is Joe Mauriello, I am the founder, and owner of the company. Although technically I am
the CEO I am first & foremost a NATIVE NEW YORKER & LICENSED TOUR GUIDE. with the
expeience and expertise tend not to use the title, because I feel it can sometimes come across as a
bit pretentious. If you're looking at this site you are either a potential client that needs some help in
getting a tour or event in motion.... Whether you are 1 person who needs a tour, a group of friends,
a school, or a major organization we can make it happen, we deliver !
