“if you listen well, You will see more”

Welcome to Elke Vanhaecke: New York City Storyteller, your key to the vibrant New York experience.

As an art historian and radio journalist, I've always been intrigued by the power of sound to reveal hidden stories. Now, as a dedicated city guide, I invite you to explore the symphony of New York's heartbeat together.

This year, I'm thrilled to announce a collaboration with Jacqueline Goossens a New York city guide I've long admired. She has an inexhaustible knowledge of the city's stories, neighbourhoods and hidden corners.

Together we offer private custom tours and public tours in small groups. On foot, by bike, or running.
