Meet the Crew:

From his earliest memories of a giant inflatable King Kong scaling the mighty Empire State Building, Steve has been a victim of the seductive pull of and excitement that is New York City. Though admittedly born a Jersey Boy, Steve is a New Yorker at heart. Steve is a graduate of history from Rutgers University and International Affairs from Kassel University in Kassel, Germany. He’s been around the world and has taken the long way home. He’s been professionally leading tours of New York for five years. When not leading tours, Steve can be found searching for German tourists to wow (or confuse) them with his German language mastery!

When Megan isn’t leading tours she can be found doing research as she works toward earning a graduate degree in psychology. Originally from Philadelphia, she fell in love with the bright lights of New York City four years ago and has been exploring the nooks and crannies of its neighborhoods ever since. She hopes to spread her excitement to both local New Yorkers and travelers from afar alike.

Luke is a lover of reading, writing, history and New York City, though not necessarily in that order. He also loves French New Wave cinema, giraffes and pistachio ice cream, but this is neither here nor there when it comes to being a tour guide. Luke has New York history in his blood (In 1877, his great-great-grandfather Henry Thomas Pym immigrated from Bristol, England to be a tugboat captain on the Hudson River.) Some day, he hopes to stay at the Waldorf-Astoria, to write a book you can check out at the New York Public Library, and be the reason for a ticker tape parade up Broadway. Until then, he can tell you all about these and other NYC landmarks and historical events.
