About Manhattan With Hiram, LLC

      I am a licensed New York City Department of Consumer Affairs Tour Guide and a native New Yorker. Over the years, I acquired considerable experience organizing solo tours of the major European and East European capitals of the world, Toronto and Montreal, Canada, Sydney and Melbourne, Australia.

      I organized USA solo tours of Washington, DC, Atlanta, New Orleans, Branson, Mo., San Francisco and Anchorage, Alaska. 

      During my international travels, I participated in tours organized by private tour companies to China, Russia, South America, India, the Canadian Rockies, Israel and Japan's major cities.

     In the USA, my private tour group participation included: Alaska's National Parks, Yosemite National Park and Arizona and Utah's National Parks. 

     I received my Master of Arts in Political Science (Urban Administration) from the State University of New York, College at Brockport, Brockport, New York in 1978. Since my recent retirement from the MTA, New York City Transit Authority, after 39 years of service as an  Associate Management Analyst, I hope to share with my fellow Travelers my observations, insights and personal experiences relating to Manhattan’s iconic neighborhoods, landmarks and popular attractions that make New York City such a vibrant and dynamic city to visit. I will strive to make your New York City Experience memorable.
