About
Contact me when you need a tour.
In Queens, they call me El Güero Frijolero. My mother calls me Stevie. My email calls me SteveSteve.
I’m a licensed New York City and Washington, DC guide with hundreds of tours behind me—and I still pay attention to the pigeon on the statue, the ‘A’ in the restaurant window and the New Yorker schlepping laundry down the block.
I guide in English and Spanish. I can also arrange transportation through licensed independent providers.
MAKE A DAY OF QUEENS: SPECIAL EVENTS AFTER THE TOUR
On selected dates, you can continue exploring Queens after our walk. These independent events are optional and are not included with the tour.
