Jim's tours are personalized-- He has held a New York City guide license for over 20 years. His show business and tour careers have overlapped, thus allowing Jim to sprinkle his New York tours with insider tidbits about the rich & famous (he's met many of them) and tell personal stories that humanize the big city.

Jim's style of guiding is casual, warm and personal...like spending time with a friend for a few hours. One southern lady on a tour said: "We understand you...you speak our language!"

Jim always says: "If New York is a tall glass of champagne, the celebrities are the bubbles!" Because of his many celebrity anecdotes, Jim was nicknamed The Celebrity Tourguide by Joan Rivers on her show, followed by "He's just fabulous!"
