Ria may have grown up in Bombay, India but has always had the New York spirit running through her veins (her grandmother’s name is even on Ellis Island!) She loves nothing more than walking, talking and eating which makes giving food walking tours her all time favorite activity. She’s a product manager, an avid traveler (100 countries and counting!) and an aspiring standup comedian (although she prefers sit down comedy, it’s much more comfortable). But her most defining trait is the black beret she has donned for 19 years which also serves as a great identifier when you’re trying to locate her on your tour.
Bridget is a 13th-generation New Yorker, whose family roots go way back to 1653 New Amsterdam. Born and raised in Brooklyn, she lives there to this day with my husband and teenage son. Acting on her lifelong passion for history, learning, and teaching, she obtained her NYC tour guide license in 2013. Prior to this, she was a NYC school teacher for over a decade. She loves showing people around this pretty-but-gritty city, and her goal for every tour is that each guest will leave with a bit more knowledge and love for NYC than they had before.
Chris Goodrich is a tour guide and theater director originally from Nashville, TN. He moved to Brooklyn in 2015, and has fallen in love with the restaurant scene in New York. He attended the University of Miami where he received his BFA.
Justin is an award winning writer, actor and filmmaker who loves NYC! He loves guiding people around the city he loves, and seeing their faces when learning about it’s history. The best part about being a tour guide, according to him, is bringing the city alive for people and exposing them to facts and truths they didn’t know, whether you’re an out of towner or lived here you’re whole life. However, Justin’s favorite part about being a tour guide is, less face it, the food. NYC is a melting pot of seemingly every culture on earth so naturally you can get authentic anything of everything in NYC and Justin loves giving people the chance to try some of the best food not only NYC has to offer, but the world. No matter the group size, Justin aims to make every tour a personal experience you won’t soon forget!

Hey, I’m Walter: A Brooklyn born (Wyckoff Heights Hospital!), lifelong New Yorker. As I always say at the top of my tours “I’m a native New Yorker, so you’re in good hands!” When I’m not doing tour guide work, I am also an actor and director, doing film and theater all over the city.
