Company description

New York City Urban Adventures, formerly known as Urban Oyster Tours, is transforming the travel industry with experiences for those who want to get off the beaten path and really connect with a destination. They can be as short as a couple of hours, or as long as a whole day, but in every case our Urban Adventures tours visit local places, meet local people, and help our guests understand what makes a place tick. All of our activities promote local businesses, respect for locals, and contribute to thriving and sustainable neighborhoods.

We are changing the way people view tourism and cities. As part of a global network of tour providers, we focus on the local businesses and food/drink community. We run small group tours (mostly revolving around food and drink) around the city that dive into the culture of a neighborhood and the small mom and pop businesses that make the city eclectic and unique. And we have a strong focus on sustainability, responsible travel, and inclusivity that we practice with our team and on our tours to educate and inspire travelers.   

Our guides are personable, fun, and passionate about New York City, its food and drink, and showing visitors (and locals) the best day ever.
