Guide profile:
I am energetic red headed born New Yorker and calling Brooklyn my home for over 20 years. A professional licensed tour guide for over 13 years. A former classical singer and antique dealer. Now a recent graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts with concentration in photography and history. Come with me and I will show you the best places at the best time to make those memorable pictures at the same time I will discuss and explain the history of this great city.
I love to conduct historic tours of the South Street Seaport area with her early ships, buildings and cobblestone streets, We can take a walking tour of the Brooklyn Bridge and go over to Brooklyn Heights where you can see some of our earliest homes. Perhaps you might want to visit the Empire State Building and hear the stories about how my grandfather help built her along with 3,000 other men.
The architecture of this wonderful city is another favorite and we can visit Grand Central Terminal or the New York Public Library or head downtown to the Custom House, now the Native American Museum, all wonderful architecture marvels of New York City.
If you in a rush and want a quick see it all in one day tour of the highlights of New York, bring your running shoes and come with me. I have a great sense of humor, lots of energy, patience and can help you make the most of your stay in New York City.
I have worked with student groups, church groups, seniors and professionals. Let me know what you are interested in seeing and doing and I can make a customized tour that will let you take home lots of great memories and photographs..
I can also arrange for special historic tours of the churches of Brooklyn, flea market tours, vintage clothing stores or the art galleries of DUMBO. Let me take you to some of the fun places to grab lunch and really see New York.
If you are interested in art I can show you a few of the great art museums here especially the Metropolitan Museum of Art where you can see anything from an ancient Etruscan chariot to Japanese paintings to a Renoir painting. Certainly a place well worth a visit or if modern art is your love we can visit. the Museum of Modern Art early in the morning to beat the crowds.
Let me recommend shows, theaters and concerts for you and your group. I am also a professional classical photographer. We can do it all at your time and pace. Let me make your trip filled with great memories not long waiting lines, missed connections and frustration.

We could not have found a better person to do exactly what we wanted to do and see in New York.. If we could give 6 out of 5..(haha!) we certainly would. It was always a bit of a gamble for us, in a strange city and wanting to see so many things in such a short time, and trying to find someone who we could get on with and feel comfortable with. We cannot praise Senta enough for her professionalism and extra work she put into our tours...... Excellent work!!!
