What are people saying about New York City

New York City Mafia and Local Food Tour led by NYPD Guides

Nancy_S, Jul 2026

Excellent and fun

Jay, a retired police woman, led about 17 of us on an excellent tour of the mafia in NYC. We began the tour at a fabulous Italian restaurant in the heart of the East Village. We all enjoyed an excellent and generous pasta dinner and then the walking part of the tour began. Jay was full of enthusiasm and many facts about NYC mafia and other interesting tidbits. The tour lasted 3 plus hours including the dinner and cannolis at the end in Little Italy.

Incredible Multigenerational Tour with Fantastic Views and a Stellar Guide!

We booked this tour for a large multigenerational family trip to New York, and it was a fantastic experience for all of us! The entire tour was great from start to finish. Our first stop at the Empire State Building was good, but the second and final stop in DUMBO was absolutely spectacular. It provided us with plenty of time to take in the stunning city skyline, including the Financial District and Lower East Side, alongside beautiful views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. Our tour guide, Percy, was wonderful. Percy provided a ton of fascinating details, insights, and excellent local recommendations throughout the trip. A huge shoutout to our driver as well, who was excellent and navigated through double-parked city buses with absolute precision. The only minor thing that could elevate this tour to excellent once it gets dark is to have someone squeegee the windows prior to departure to ensure perfectly clear night viewing. Also, as a quick tip for awareness to future travelers, be sure to bring a jacket because it turns into a nice, cool ride! We highly recommend this for anyone wanted to see the city in the evening and Time Square was a great experienceduring sunset.

Hidden Bar and Speakeasy Night Tour NYC

Spinal Tap 11 out of 10

If you're even thinking about booking this Speakeasy Tour in New York City... do it! It was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. Walter was an incredible tour guide. He was hilarious, engaging, and unbelievably knowledgeable. His stories and the history he shared brought each stop to life, and you could tell he genuinely loves what he does. We visited four amazing speakeasies, each with its own hidden entrance, unique atmosphere, and fantastic vibe. Half the fun was discovering the secret doorways, and every location was better than the last. We laughed, learned, and had an unforgettable evening. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat—over and over again. If I could give Walter an 11 out of 10, I absolutely would! Thank you, Walter, for an unforgettable night. We can't recommend this tour highly enough!

Great Quick Sightseeing

Really great and quick tour to see the sights from the water. It was great to see the Statue of Liberty up close and get great photos. Nathan, our guide, gave a lot of history and was able to give a large history of NY in a short time. This is a great tour if you have limited time but still want to see the sights.

It was an incredible experience—a fantastic 360-degree panoramic view of Manhattan featuring thousands of mirrors, with unforgettable reflections on the floor, ceiling, and all around. Excellent organization and a friendly team. I highly recommend visiting this marvel at least once in your lifetime.

Dyker Heights Brooklyn Christmas Lights Tour

JulioR_O, Dec 2025

Best Christmas ever!

Danny was our tour guide through Dyker Heights Christmas City Lights. I have been wanting to do this for years, and this was the year the only way to appreciate NYC on in Christmas is at night and from the bridges. It was more than my expectations so as far as im concerned during Christmas you have to book one of these tours and get the heck out of the city.

Rachel and Juan did an...

Rachel and Juan did an excellent job on this tour. Rachel is very knowledgeable about NY. Even though I have been to NY several times, she took us to places I have never seen and explained these places. If I ever get back to NY I would do another tour with Rachel. She and Juan are a great asset to Viator.
