In the New York City’s hustle and endless energy, a Kenyan woman is quietly but powerfully transforming how visitors experience the Big Apple.
Naomi Wairimu Ogutu, founder of Naomi Cars NYC, has built a unique travel and tour service that offers more than sightseeing. It delivers deeply personalized, culturally aware, and unforgettable New York City experiences.
Originally from Kenya, Naomi relocated to the United States with a dream of creating something meaningful.
She understood firsthand how overwhelming a place like New York could be for newcomers, especially those from Africa or unfamiliar cultures.
With a strong background in hospitality and a passion for people, Naomi saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between tourists and the real, authentic New York.
From this vision, Naomi Cars NYC was born.
Unlike traditional tour companies that offer rigid schedules and one-size-fits-all itineraries, Naomi Cars NYC focuses on customized tours that cater to each client’s preferences.
Naomi takes the time to learn what her clients love—whether it’s specific cuisines, historical landmarks, shopping preferences, or family-friendly adventures. Then she crafts a tailored experience that reflects their interests.
“Every client has a different dream when they come to New York,” Naomi says. “My job is to help them live it—comfortably, safely, and with lasting memories.”
From solo travelers to families, students, and groups of friends, Naomi’s team handles it all.
Her fleet of clean, modern SUVs ensures a comfortable ride through Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and beyond. Clients can explore Times Square, Central Park, and the Statue of Liberty, but also dive into hidden gems like Harlem’s soul food spots or local African restaurants.
For the adventurous, helicopter rides over the skyline or shopping sprees at Woodbury Commons are all part of the package.
Education is another core part of Naomi’s mission. Her Educational Tours have become especially popular among international students.
These immersive outings go beyond tourism, teaching the rich history behind places like the 9/11 Memorial, Chinatown, and Little Italy. Naomi believes that travel should inform and inspire, not just entertain.
As the summer travel season heats up, Naomi Cars NYC is emerging as a top choice for African families and global tourists looking for a richer, more personalized New York experience.
Naomi’s work proves that entrepreneurship can be rooted in care, culture, and community.
Naomi Wairimu Ogutu isn’t just redefining tours—she’s redefining hospitality in New York City.
Through her passion, innovation, and cultural awareness, she’s ensuring that every traveler not only sees the city but feels it in a way that’s truly their own.
