New York & New Jersey Tours and Experiences

Explore the NYC area with a journalist as your guide

New York on Foot is a one-person tour, experience, and travel information company from Arun Kristian Das (that’s me!). I help you discover New York and New Jersey's history, nature, food, drink, and culture via neighborhoods, parks, and trails.

I do this as a tour guide, journalist, and coach:

  • Licensed New York City sightseeing guide with dozens of 5-star reviews

  • Columbia University-educated journalist telling stories about New York and New Jersey for 25-plus years

  • Road Runners Club of America certified running coach

I have walked and hiked in dozens of parks, bar-crawled around unfamiliar neighborhoods, and run races in all five boroughs of New York City, upstate New York, and New Jersey.

I work with travelers, tourists, tour companies, brands, publishers, groups, and athletes. I hope you will join me on this journey…
