About us
What sets us apart from other walking tours, is that we bring travellers together to show them a city from a true local perspective. So, when you take a tour with us, we’re showing you our city the way we’d show our family when they’re in town. We’ll share the stories and secrets you won’t uncover without a local to lead the way. ExperienceFirst was born from the passion project of a former Wall Street trader with a keen interest in helping people understand the “inside stories” of places that shape our everyday lives. From Wall Street to Broadway, Ground Zero, and beyond, ExperienceFirst continues to grow on the foundation of real stories, told from the perspective of lived experience. OUR GUIDES Our tours are led by locals who know their cities inside and out. Walk Wall Street with a trader. Tour Hollywood with an actor. Climb the Eiffel Tower with a Parisian. Like the diverse places they represent, our guides come from different backgrounds — professional comedians, singers, directors, lawyers, investors, educators, and more. But more than anything, each one is an expert storyteller who will make the places you visit come alive. OUR ACCOLADES >80+ tours across 13 cities >#1 Rated Tour Company in NYC (Tripadvisor) > GetYourGuide Best LA Walking Tour > 1st Eiffel Tower climbing tour in the world > Best in Class Tours in NYC and Paris (GetYourGuide) > Hosted celebrities, royalty, and pro athletes > Certificates of Excellence 2009-2020 (Tripadvisor)

We shared some invaluable tips for surviving the heat wave while working remotely with our team, and we're not about gatekeeping so here they are for all of you... 🪭Make your own DIY air conditioner by placing a bowl of ice cubes, or a frozen water bottle in front of your fan for extra fresh air while you work. 🍦Remember - there is NO SHAME in running down the road for the ice-cream van in the middle of the day. In fact, you'll get more points if you beat the kids to the front of the queue. 💧Fill your water bottle half way and place in the freezer over night. Tomorrow, you’ll be able to keep refilling the bottle and enjoy hours of ice cold water! ☕Make the most of our work from anywhere freedoms and spend the hottest part of the day working in an airconditioned cafe, supplemented by as many iced coffees as you need to make it through 🛌Place your pillow cases and socks in zip lock bags and pop them in the freezer for a few hours. When you’re ready for bed, put them back on your pillows and feet for a chilly start to bedtime. 🪴Advice for the chronically absent plant parents out there - they need you more than ever this week, spare them a drop of water and a few words of encouragement 🧊Repurpose that neglected hot water bottle into a cold pack - fill it half way and pop it into the fridge for a few hours and voilà! 👀Word of caution - if you don't have at least one barbeque this week, the summer police will most likely get you... Have we missed any? Drop your tips in the comments 👇
