New York Like a Native

Norman was a phenomenal tour guide! He knows Brooklyn like the back of his hand, and he went above and beyond to make the experience extremely informative and engaging. We did the Park Slope 2.5 hour walking tour and it was worth every cent. Make sure to bring your walking shoes! :)

Norman is a true professional. I contacted him to do a tour for a group of first time NY visitors from Europe and they loved it. Norman customized a tour that fit perfectly within the groups visit to the U.S. This is an engaging experience for first time NY visitors and lifetime locals alike. I highly recommend New York Like A Native.

I was very, very lucky to be able to work with New York Like a Native for a recent neighborhood tour of Sunset Park that I organized for my work. Norman (the founder) was exceptionally professional and easy to work with. Even more importantly, the tour itself was off the charts interesting, engaging, and fun. The audience was wrapt throughout as Norman took us through the streets of one of New York's most diverse neighborhoods and into the park itself. I recommend New York Like a Native for folks who are visiting the city and want to get a behind the scenes view of New York and to people who live here that want to get to know their city better.

I am a university professor who recently hired Norman Oder (New York Like a Native) to lead college students on two walking tours—one through the Lower East Side and another in Brooklyn. I found Norman to be incredibly knowledgeable, dynamic, and engaging. So did my students! Norman showed us the hidden dimensions of each neighborhood’s present and its past. He worked with me to customize both tours. Indeed, Norman went out of his way to do research in advance of our tours. Simply put, if you want to learn more about Lower Manhattan or Brooklyn, you cannot do better than New York like a Native!
