VIBE NYC TOURS — FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

​

What makes Vibe NYC Tours different from other NYC walking tour companies?

Vibe NYC Tours is led by Dana Tamuccio, a licensed NYC Tour Guide, former proprietary trader, and daughter of a 43-year New York Stock Exchange floor broker. Tours are kept intentionally small — all public tours cap at 12 to 15 guests — so every visitor can hear the guide, ask questions, and experience the city without feeling like part of a crowd. Dana has personal ties to September 11th, which gives the 9/11 Memorial tour a depth of perspective unavailable anywhere else. Vibe NYC Tours has been featured in TimeOut Magazine and partners with Broadway Plus.
