GANYC Events and Public Meetings

Our monthly meetings are open to the public and take place in venues across the five boroughs. GANYC members are also welcome to exclusive site visits and FAM (Familiarization) tours offered by fellow guides. GANYC guides offer FAM tours to their peers to receive invaluable feedback and to practice new tours.
