Who I Am and What I Do

Closeup image of Arun Das's face

I'm Arun and New York on Foot is my one-person tour, travel information, and coaching company.

I help you discover New York and New Jersey's history, nature, food, drink, and culture via neighborhoods, parks, and trails.

I do this as a tour guide, journalist, and coach:

  • Licensed New York City sightseeing guide

  • Columbia University-educated journalist telling stories about New York and New Jersey for 25-plus years

  • Road Runners Club of America certified running coach

I have walked and hiked in dozens of parks, bar-crawled around unfamiliar neighborhoods, and run races in all five boroughs of New York City, upstate New York, and New Jersey.

I work with tour companies, travelers, brands, publishers, groups, and athletes.
