We think there’s a better way to experience a new city. It’s more than checking off a bucket list and waiting in long lines. It’s the stories, stranger-than-fiction history, real people and even secrets that you won’t uncover without a local to show you the way.
That’s why our tours are led by locals who are experts at everything that makes their city world-class. Tour Broadway with an actor. Climb the Eiffel Tower with a Parisian. Skip the line and make the most of your visit.
We can promise it’s one you’ll always remember.
Our guides are dynamic storytellers committed to making your experience exceptional. Like the diverse cities they represent, our guides come from different backgrounds: professional singers, comedians, actors, directors, lawyers, investors, educators, scientists, and more. With a 99% approval rating across thousands of reviews, our award-winning guides can’t wait to welcome you to their city soon.
ExperienceFirst leads guided tours in New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Paris, and Dallas. Whether you’re looking for a full day of highlights or a deep-dive into one attraction, we’ve got you covered for the best experiences each city has to offer.
