About Me
Kelly Kopp
Meet Your NYC Insider
See New York With Someone Who Lives It
I’m Kelly Kopp, also known as New York City Kopp. For more than a decade, I’ve explored New York City every day, learning its streets, stories, neighborhoods, landmarks, and the little details most people walk right past.
Today, I lead private NYC walking and subway tours built around some of my favorite parts of the city, including Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, DUMBO, and the New York City subway system.
My tours are relaxed, personal, and filled with the stories, history, present-day New York, and everyday details that make this city what it is.
Along the way, I’ll also take fun photos and videos of you with your phone, so you can enjoy the experience and still go home with great memories.
Every tour is:
• Private
• Led personally by me
• Focused on a specific NYC experience
• Filled with real New York stories and insight
• Photos & videos included
Come see New York with me...not just the landmarks, but the city around them.
Capturing NYC, One Shot at a Time
Every photo on this site is my work.
As a published photographer, my images have been featured in books and exhibited in New York City, including at the Statue of Liberty Museum.
But what matters most isn’t where they’ve been featured.
It’s that you’ll leave your experience with photos and videos that capture your time in New York, naturally, professionally, and without it feeling staged.
Photos & videos are included with every private tour.
More Than a Tour
I’m also the host of The New Yorkers Podcast, where I sit down with the people who shape this city, from business owners to creators to lifelong New Yorkers.
That same curiosity and storytelling is what I bring into every tour.
You’re not just seeing New York,
you’re understanding it.
In the Picture…You and NYC
With some of the most iconic backdrops in the world as your setting, I’ll capture photos and videos of you throughout the experience, so you can stay present while still leaving with incredible content.
No awkward posing.
No rushed moments.
Just real memories, captured the right way.
Ready to Experience New York City the Right Way?
Whether it’s your first time visiting or your tenth, I’ll help you see the city in a way most people never do.
Let’s explore.
Let’s capture it.
Let’s make it unforgettable.

New York City Kopp Tour Information
I’m really looking forward to your tour.
When booking, please select your preferred locations from the dropdown menu. I’ll build your itinerary around those choices. If you have something specific in mind that isn’t listed, choose “Other” and we’ll do our best to make it happen.
Before the tour, you have the option to meet at your hotel lobby or a nearby coffee shop about 30 minutes early. This gives us time to go over your plan, answer questions, and share helpful NYC tips before we begin.
From there, we’ll walk or take the subway, whichever is most efficient. If we use the subway, I’ll show you exactly how to navigate it, including using OMNY (tap-to-pay) or a MetroCard, and help you choose what’s best for you.
What to bring:
• Comfortable walking shoes (highly recommended)
• Bandages/blister protection
• Sunscreen, sunglasses, or hat
• Water & light snacks
• Small umbrella (just in case)
If you decide to stop for food during the 6 hour tour, no problem, that time will not be deducted. You’ll still receive your full 6 hours.
My goal is simple: for you to fully enjoy New York City while I take care of everything.
I’ll also take plenty of photos and videos of you throughout the experience, capturing real moments at some of the city’s most iconic locations. You’ll receive everything via a private Google Drive link within 36 hours.
If you have plans after the tour, please let me know so I can keep everything running on time.
If you have any questions at all, feel free to reach out anytime.
Tours run rain or shine.
Kind regards,
Kelly
