Highly Recommend This Walking Tour

Chris was an outstanding guide! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour both informative and enjoyable.

3 Hour Midtown Manhattan Architectural Tour

David_P, Jul 2026

Very flexible and informative

Annabelle was a wonderful tour guide. We appreciated her thorough tour of Midtown Manhattan. Such a wealth of information, and somebody who obviously really loves her city. She was very flexible with the tour and willing to go longer than planned if we wanted. She switched things up just to match our architectural interests. And just a genuinely fun person to talk with.

Fifth Avenue Gilded Age Mansions Walking Tour

Stephanie_L, Jul 2026

Real life connections and thoughtful guide

Makes you understand what the show Gilded Age is referring to and even if you don’t watch it you learn so much about that era, and you see the buildings and learn about the architecture and the stories behind them and the people who lived there. Just what I was hoping for. Not too much walking bc you stop a lot to learn about the mansions. Also very helpful earpieces to hear the guide.

Manhattan Architecture Yacht Cruise

Jonathan_B, Jul 2026

Nice tour

We went on a Wednesday morning. Our boat was pretty empty we spent a large part of the tour outside. Staff was super nice great service and an excellent tour guide. We were a bit dispppointed because a bridge was closed to it was a more abridged tour that required some backtracking. The dedicated table was a waste of money as people sat there after we went outside would not recommend spending money on it. It wasn’t a big deal just not worth the money less maybe it’s a inclement day Overall a great experience

NYC Secrets of Grand Central Station Tour

Meredith_G, Jun 2026

History of Grand Central Station.

There’s a lot of history to GCS but it’s interesting. I liked seeing parts of GCS that one would never know existed. It is a beautiful terminal and amazing it was built during the Great Depression. Through the help of Jacqueline Kennedy and others, GCS survived and was rescued from collapsing due to the downfall of the train industry.

Artistic, Alternative Greenwich Village Walking Tour

Sarah_G, Jun 2026

Great Tour!

Angela was our tour guide, and she was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the history of Greenwich Village. She lives in the area, and her positive attitude and love of the village is contagious. We learned a lot, laughed and had a fantastic experience with her on this tour. Highly recommend.

NYC Underground Subway Walking Tour

Jeannette_D, May 2026

Seeing the NYC Subway Through New Eyes

The NYC Underground Subway Tour was fantastic! Our guide, Pete, was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the subway system. Even though I had visited some of the stations before, I had no idea about the hidden details and Easter eggs tucked away throughout them. Pete brought the history and unique features of the subway to life, making the experience both educational and entertaining. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in New York City's rich transit history and hidden gems.

Private Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Tour

Dawn_B, May 2026

Cora was wonderful!!!

This was amazing! Cora was our guide and could not have been more knowledgeable and a wonderful person to have for a guide. She was willing and able to answer all our questions. She was so helpful to us when we needed to find an Uber! We would definitely recommend Cora to anyone who wants a wonderful time learning about New York, The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island!!

A wonderful Christmas gift

A surprising delight to behold the extravagant display of Christmas lights! Louis lead our group through the Heights with efficiency and humor, a challenge in the snow. Louis was informative and thoughtful with his guidance. I am grateful for the family pictures we gathered along the way. Wonderful memories ✨🎄✨

New York City One World Observatory Admission Ticket

Steven_K, Oct 2025

Awesome Views

Going during off hours (early afternoon) avoided excessive crowds. Also being in NYC during shoulder seasons minimizes overall city crowds. The history, views, and sharing with family enhanced our experience. I had been outside on WTC years ago and loved the views - this was as (or more) impressive. Only downside was the pop up wine bar was not open (!). I didn't want a beer, I wanted a glass of wine yet unless I ponied up to the restaurant there was none available. Not a showstopper, just an observation. Loved our time and I'll return again in the future.
