NYC night time tour

Despite some technical issues, the tour still went ahead just for the two of us, which made the experience feel very personal and special. Millie, our tour guide and driver, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. She took us to some amazing viewpoints and shared lots of interesting information along the way. This was honestly one of the best tours we have ever been on. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic experience!

Go on this tour

Life long New Yorker here and I so enjoyed this experience. Jimmy our guide was very knowledgeable and presented the history of the Church, the Catacombs and lower Manhattan with a compelling flare that left you wanting to know more. It’s like this guy never ran out of information and stories to tell. lol. I would highly recommend this tour to tourists and locals alike. I probably enjoyed it more as a NYer because learned so much about an area I thought I latest knew a great deal about.

Spooky good time in Greenwich Village

What a sneaky and spooky way to get in a history lesson of Greenwich village! Went with husband and niece, who loves a ghost tour and is also looking at colleges. Did you know that one of the NYU bio / chem lab buildings was the site of a tragedy that led to early labor reforms in the US? We also saw the building where Edgar Allen Poe introduced the world to The Raven and the Tell Tale Heart. Our guide Brianna, was just so engaging and charming. My niece loved her!
