Big Apple Fanatics Tours

Big Apple Fanatics Tours was established in 1999 to offer history and sightseeing tours of New York. All of our tours are unique and written, researched, and refined by us. We offer walking tours of New York City and boat cruises in Long Island.

You won’t find these same experiences given by another tour company. Big Apple Fanatics Tours was founded by Kevin C. Fitzpatrick, author and editor of eight books tied to New York history. He is a licensed NYC Sightseeing Guide and an award-winning author.

Our tours were created for those that love the history of New York. They can be in the cozy lobby of the landmark Algonquin Hotel, standing inside a fort built in 1794 on Governors Island, or exploring the waters of Long Island Sound on a boat cruise. We offer tours of historic places, beautiful locations, and incredible scenic views. Kevin is an expert on everything from cannons to cocktails, and has written extensively about the Jazz Age, as well as authors, actors, and soldiers. All guides who work with the company also share his passion for history and literature.

Private and custom tours are available when public tours do not meet your schedule in New York. Just contact Kevin here.

Big Apple Fanatics Tours is the tour company that wants to offer tours that serve those that want to see hidden parts of New York that are off the beaten path. These tours speak to a love of history. If you have a genuine passion for Old New York, try a tour with Big Apple Fanatics Tours.
