Tours
As you can see from the articles, I am a tea fanatic. I also offer a variety of set and customizable tours in NYC. They are very different from your average tour in several important ways.
These tours are specifically for tea. I can customize all kinds of tea tours for you, but I won't take you to the Statue of Liberty or any other (yawn) tourist attractions. Instead, I focus on sharing my expertise with you by taking you to places that I know all about and that you won't find on your own. I'm not a tour guide who does some tea tours, I'm a tea expert who offers tours about the things she knows best.
I have passed rigorous testing on NYC's history and culture to become a legally certified Sightseeing Operator for the City of New York. How many tea experts can offer that?
Tour guides often have large group tours to make the most money possible of the tours. With VeeTea tours, you don't have to stand in the back of a group of 15, barely able to hear what the guide is saying, much less fit into the intimate shops you are visiting. To ensure that you get the focus, time, and attention you want out of a tour, I keep the tour groups small.
I don't wear a stupid uniform or a name badge. I don't use a megaphone. I don't have a memorized speech or corny jokes to recite to you. I don't get finicky about "the schedule." Even a native New Yorker can take these tours without fear of getting labeled as a tourist. At worst, people will think you have a know-it-all friend who talks a lot.
