Who We Are

We are Jonathan and Nathan, two New York City tour guides with years of experience and nearly a thousand 5-star reviews between us. We started Metropolis Tours because we believed we could elevate the walking tour experience for visitors to this city we love. To us, tour guiding is an art form.

Best Tour Ever!!!

If you are lucky enough to get Nathan Cann as your tour guide, count your blessings. He is WONDERFUL !!!!! Knowledgeable, professional, personable, patient and joyful are just a few of the adjectives that describe Nathan. He made every minute of the tour interesting so that it never got dull or dragged. When I asked my grandson what his favorite part of our trip to NYC was, he said he couldn't decide if it was seeing The Lion King or our tour with Nathan. Quite a compliment from a 13 year old. THANK YOU, NATHAN
