How much does it cost to hire a GANYC member?
A. GANYC is a fraternal organization consisting of independent contractors. We cannot and do not set prices. Strictly as a guideline, a 4 hour tour (the minimum charge for most members) will cost between $175 and $250, with each additional hour costing between $25 to $50. These figures are only a guideline; each member sets his or her own fees. Specialty and multi-lingual tours are frequently higher. Be extremely cautious of anyone quoting prices that are significantly lower! The surest way to kill a tour is to hire a cheap guide. If you’re quoted prices much lower than this, you should proceed with caution. Never forget that the tour guide is a vital part of your visit to our city, and, is the best bang for your tourism buck. For what it would cost to get just a few members of your group good seats to a Broadway show (lasting about 3 hours) you could hire a GANYC member for the an entire busload of people, for 8 hours! Of course, we love Broadway – you should see a show but dont miss
