About:

Licensed New York City tour guide and founder of SI Hospitality.

I help people fall in love with New York.

I don’t present myself as a traditional tour guide or a history teacher.
I approach every experience as if you were visiting a longtime friend who moved to New York and is now showing you the city from the inside.

My goal is to create unique and carefully curated experiences, whether private or group, designed around each person’s personality, energy and expectations.

Through storytelling, real-life experiences and deep local knowledge, I guide my clients across Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx and New York’s nightlife scene, sharing not only history, but moments, perspectives and connections that make them feel part of the city.

My background in hospitality (since 2010), nightlife entertainment (since 2002) and New York storytelling (since 2016) allows me to combine energy, authenticity and experience into every tour.

These are not just tours.
They are experiences designed for those who want to explore New York in a real, immersive and unforgettable way.

Personal Interests:

  • People, Energy & Real Connections
  • Nightlife, Music & Atmosphere
  • Cinema & Visual Storytelling
  • Creating Events & Live Experiences
  • Italian Culture & Food Passion
  • Exploring Cities Like a Local
  • Entertaining, Filming & Capturing Moments

Special Tours:

I offer a curated selection of immersive experiences designed to showcase New York from multiple perspectives — cultural, artistic, cinematic and experiential.

My signature tours include:

High Line & Downtown Experience – from Hudson Yards to the West Village, combining architecture, hidden stories and iconic NYC evolution
Brooklyn Experience (Williamsburg, DUMBO & Brooklyn Heights Promenade) – street art, skyline views and the authentic creative soul of New York
Cinematic New York Tour – over 30 iconic movie scenes brought to life through storytelling and live interaction, turning the city into a real film set
Rooftop Experience – a night journey across some of New York’s most exclusive rooftops, combining skyline views, atmosphere and social energy
Speakeasy Experience – a step back into the Prohibition era, discovering hidden bars and secret locations that still live behind the city’s surface

These experiences are designed to offer more than sightseeing.
They combine storytelling, atmosphere, and real local insight to create something exclusive and memorable.

Private tours are fully customizable based on the client’s interests, energy and expectations, ensuring a personalized and high-level experience.

I also integrate hospitality services through SI Hospitality, offering a complete New York experience from arrival to curated activities.

These are not traditional tours — they are real New York experiences.
