At Yellow Shoes Tours, we’re on a mission to make your visit to New York City extraordinary.
It’s not just about having a great time; we strive to make your stay absolutely unforgettable.Remarkable. One-of-a-kind.
Which is why we offer personalized, curated journeys to the soul of the Big Apple. We want you to see beyond what it looks like; hear past the sounds so you’re immersed in its unseen magic. This is your New York moment.
From strolling the cobblestones of Greenwich Village, seeing architectural glories, sampling tasty fare or tracing your roots, our customized tours are true adventures. You’ll meet people and places rich in character and hear stories that steal your heart. And probably a few good jokes, too.
With singular service, authentic local expertise and beyond-the-guidebook insider-access, you’ll see a city you never knew existed– and leave forever changed.
This is a New York City experience unlike anything else.
Salve! I’m Nicola, a real, card-carrying New Yorker and Licensed New York City Tour guide. And if you had told me 30 years ago that I’d be guiding people to New York City’s hidden gems, I’d thought you were nuts.
But, today, as I explore New York’s streets, there’s nothing I love more than hearing the city whisper its unspoken stories– and share those secrets with you.

Then, in 2007, I fell head-over-heels for my wife, Rosa. Although we first met at a workshop I was translating, we didn’t start chit chatting until we ended up together, 4 months later, at a second residential workshop on the Southern coast of Italy. We talked for hours and got closer over the next 3 days.
And when I saw her again, one month later, I knew she was the one.
We soon got married and Rosa moved to Florence with me to begin our lives together. When we finally went on our honeymoon, I decided to take her to the Big Apple. I already loved the city. I dated a girl from New York for a few years, and after visiting, I left a piece of myself there. I knew Rosa would love it too– it’s electric! And after experiencing the arts, culture, food, architecture and history it holds, she wanted to make it home.
In 2013, we began making serious plans to leave Florence for New York and closed our business. Then, in September 2017, with just a part-time job for Rosa and suitcases filled with dreams, we made the big move with our dogs and cat following us over the ocean.
When we got here, I wanted to know everything about New York City and I greedily drank all the knowledge I could find. And although I love the famous places, people and stories here, I soon became curious about the stories untold.
So I explored the city for hours. I wandered into its corners and listened to its unknown past– finding a vibrant city no one sees. And I want to share it with you.
That’s why I became a Licensed New York City Tour Guide.
Although I loved every moment of those tours, I knew from my personal explorations that the city is so much more than a few famous spots. That’s when Yellow Shoes Tours was born.
Our personalized tours reveal the jewels of New York City’s true spirit– where little-known spaces hold incredible surprises– where the history of different places, people and eras are left unspoken.
Plus, we’ve built a network of New York insiders. Rosa has successfully pursued her dream career as a luxury destination wedding planner and event organizer. And with connections in travel, food, arts and fashion (thanks to my lovely wife), you’ll skip the crowds and see authentic New York with in-the-know access.
Whether you love gourmet frankfurters, browsing flea markets in Brooklyn, artsy galleries, cutting-edge fashion or sampling craft beers, following the yellow shoes will open a whole new world.
