New York & New Jersey Tours, Hikes, and Experiences
Explore the NYC area with a journalist as your guide
What Is New York on Foot?
New York on Foot is a tour, experience, and travel information brand created by Arun Kristian Das (that’s me!). 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 with dozens of 5-star reviews
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 travelers, tourists, tour companies, brands, publishers, groups, and athletes. I hope you will join me on this journey…
“Arun was an amazing tour guide, he shared many beautiful stories and gave perspective to everyone on the tour. I would highly recommend him as a guide.”
