About McNeil Tours

McNeil Tours was founded by Andy McNeil, a born-and-raised New Orleanian with a lifelong passion for storytelling, history, and city life. After moving to New York City 15 years ago, Andy fell in love with the layers of history tucked into every block—from cobblestone alleys to towering brownstones. With a background in public speaking and years of local research under his belt, Andy created McNeil Tours to offer walking tours that are equal parts informative, entertaining, and deeply personal. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a lifelong New Yorker, McNeil Tours invites you to see the city through fresh eyes—and maybe learn a secret or two along the way.
