New York City is a great modern city, and one that does not require a car for you to enjoy all it has to offer. In fact, whether a tourist, new to the city, or a current resident, the best way to see this city is by walking it. And some of the best ways to see it, and the least expensive, are to take self guided NYC tours.

Once in your email, you can either print it, or use your PDA or cell phone as your electronic tour guide.

In addition, there are plenty of sites online that suggest such trips and offer maps that are free. These tours vary in options, but both paid and free services give you the freedom to take the tour on your schedule. You can chose what sites to skip, how long to visit a location, and you do not have to spend any extra cash on a live guide.

A self guided experience allows you to plan your experience yourself. You are not tied to a group of other tourists or strangers. You can also plan the time spent. You should split a tour that is supposed to take hours over a few days to fit your schedule and needs.

There are many options available for self guided NYC tours. If you have a particular interest or theme you with to explore, you are sure to find it. There are even tours for vintage clothing stores, museums, food, architecture, or one that reminds you of the city's affiliation with mobsters.
