J. Mauricio

I consider myself a global citizen, after living in Cities like Madrid, London, Dubai, Istanbul, Sao Paulo, Mexico City and Buenos Aires and enjoy bringing a global perspective to the storytelling I design in each tour of New York City.

With over two decades in luxury travel, cultural tours, and hospitality, I craft bespoke New York City experiences for discerning travelers seeking depth, elegance, and authenticity. My expertise spans leadership roles in global luxury hospitality and an extensive career as a licensed NYC tour guide and director. Fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, I curate immersive journeys that weave together art, history, and storytelling.

Renowned for my engaging narratives and nuanced understanding of the city’s cultural evolution, I transform each tour into an unforgettable exploration. Balancing captivating insights with seamless logistics, I unveil both the celebrated icons and hidden treasures of New York, offering a perspective that is as refined as it is enriching.

From managing elite clientele in the luxury travel sector to personally guiding exclusive, tailor-made tours, I am dedicated to delivering exceptional, insightful experiences. My goal is not just to showcase the city, but to leave clients with a profound connection to its past, present, and ever-evolving spirit.

Travel, above all other interests. But I am deeply drawn to art, history, architecture, literature, biking—and all things related to aviation. These passions shape the way I see the world, and how I share it with others.
