About Me
Kelly Kopp
Hello, friends!
I’m Kelly Kopp, also known as New York City Kopp across my social media platforms. Twelve years ago, I made this incredible city my home, and every day since has been a new adventure. I’m absolutely in love with everything New York City has to offer, and there’s no place I’d rather be.
As a passionate NYC enthusiast, I’ve made it my mission to share the vibrant, dynamic energy of the city with others. I design my tours to be more than just informative—they’re crafted to be fun, engaging, and interactive. I want you to leave with more than just knowledge; I want you to have unforgettable memories.
And here’s the best part: You don’t need to speak the same language to enjoy the magic of this city. After all, laughter is universal, and I believe it’s one of the best ways to connect with people from all over the world. Whether you're exploring hidden gems or iconic landmarks, I'm here to ensure every moment is filled with joy and discovery.
Join me, and let’s make some New York City memories together.
Tour Business Owner/Podcaster/Professional Photographer/Social Media Influencer
Meet Your NYC Insider
I’m a licensed New York City tour guide, professional photographer, and podcaster who’s been navigating the streets of the five boroughs for years. Whether it’s a hidden gem in Chinatown or the iconic lights of Times Square, I’m always on the hunt for the next unforgettable spot. Let me show you New York City like you’ve never seen it before.
Capturing NYC, One Shot at a Time
Every photo on this site is 100% my work—and you might recognize some of these shots from social media. My photos have been featured in New York City on Instagram (2017), and one of my all-time favorite Statue of Liberty photos made its way into The Statue of Liberty: The Monumental Dream at the Statue of Liberty Museum on Liberty Island. Oh, and just recently, you’ll find my photos in the 2024 NYC photography book. From the bridges to the skyline, my lens is always in pursuit of the real NYC. Check out more of my work on my Instagram @YourNYCPhotographer for daily doses of New York’s magic.

Want to dive deeper into the city's stories? I’m also a New York City podcaster, bringing you insider knowledge, hidden gems, and stories from every corner of the city. Tune in to hear fascinating episodes that explore NYC’s past, present, and future—because the city always has something new to discover.
In the Picture...You and NYC!
Not only will I take professional-quality photos of you, but I’ll also capture the behind-the-scenes magic with Reels on my phone. With some of the most iconic backdrops in the world as your canvas, you'll have photos that make your friends back home say, “You definitely need to give me the name of that NYC photographer!”

Social Media
I am active on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and X. You will always find me no matter what social media platform I am on, because my name for each of these sites is "newyorkcitykopp." I do live videos all over New York City three days a week on my New York City Kopp Facebook page. Recently I was on CNN discussing the 2019 New York City blackout. Aside from my videos being informative and entertaining, I also love interacting with people, such as yourself, from all over the world. My videos are very helpful with New York City tips and suggestions. They can help you get ideas of the places you want to see and the photos you may want to take. I am here to help you truly enjoy New York City and have fun with you along the way. Hope to see you soon!

New York City Kopp Tour Information
Hi Everyone, Hope all is great! I’m really looking forward to your tour!
When you book a tour I want you to choose your available options from the drop down list, and I can work on your itinerary from those choices. If you have ideas that aren’t listed, choose "other option", and we hopefuly make your option work if possible!
When you book a tour I always offer peope the option to meet at their hotel lobby, or at a coffee shop a half an hour prior to the tour to touch base. We will go over your itinerary, and discuss NYC tips and tidbits. We will then walk to the first destination or take the subway, whichever is more time efficient. When we do take the subway I will show you how to get your metro card, and if you decide to use your Credit Card or Apple Pay stored in your phone I will show you how to use that. I’ll help you decide which is the best option for you!
PLEASE wear very comfortable sneakers. I recommend putting pads in your shoes, too . Carry these items with you as well…bandaids/plasters (on your heels to prevent blisters), sun screen, sun glasses, hat, bottled water, snacks, a little towel, a little umbrella.
During the tour if you decide to eat, or get quick snack, that will not take away time from your tour. You get a full 2, 4, or 6 hours of sight seeing!
My goal is for you to enjoy the City while I lead the way. I want you to love the City as much as I do. Something tells me you already do though! I will also take as many photos of you with my cell phone as you want PLUS I'll get fun videos at your favorite locations. You will receive your photos & videos via Google link with 36 hours. My philosophy is one can never take too many photos or videos of you with New York City behind you…so ask away!
Please let me know if you have made plans after the tour so I can be extremely mindful of your time. If there’s anything you want to ask, talk about, please don’t hesitate to ask at any time! We do your tour rain or shine!
Kind regards,
Kelly
