What are people saying about New York City

SuzanneR_O, Apr 2026

Learn the history of Manhattan

This was a great tour! We learned how and why NYC developed as it did moving from the southern tip to Central Park. This included the role of different immigrant groups and social classes, the role of transportation from horses to the subway, and the architectural development from brownstones to cast iron to steel frame buildings.

Harlem Hip-Hop Walking Tour

Lorraine_L, Apr 2026

Wonderful hip hop history tour

Really wonderful way to learn all about the origins of hip hop as you wander the streets where it all started. Mike C was an incredible guide, his commentary was very entertaining and easily followed by the kids. This was a highlight of our week in NYC!

The Birthplace of Hip Hop Harlem and The Bronx

LaKesia_B, Apr 2026

Excellent Tour

This was a great experience. The guide and driver were both high energy and knowledgeable about how Hip Hop began and all those that contributed to its origin and continues success. Very friendly and encouraged participation during the entire tour. Highly recommended if you are in the area. Riza, you rocked!

Brooklyn Bridge & DUMBO Food Tour: Local Eats & Iconic Views

Natalie_R, Mar 2026

This was our first of...

This was our first of three and we loved it! Our guide was wonderful, very knowledgeable, great food choices. Something we loved about all of them you taste but also have the option to purchase whatever you like! The confirmation includes directions and clear meeting locations! Will absolutely book again

New York Catacombs by Candlelight

Debra_B, Feb 2026

Yes!

Very nice Experience… Nowhere near as creepy as we thought it would be! That’s my only lament… The church is amazing in the history of New York City is fascinating. Tony, our guide was extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend this trip to anyone - especially if you were interested in history of New York City or you are Catholic!

Delicious Donuts in Union Square: New York's Sweetest City Tour

Rose_R, Feb 2026

Yummy!

What a fun tour! I was worried initially because I was notified that I was the only person signed up for the tour because of the weather (lots' o snow!) However, I said I was game and so was the tour guide Jacob. We had a great time chatting about everything New York and Donuts under the sun! Jacob has a lot of great knowledge about the Donut world in New York. I have told a few people I know some of the facts he shared with me. I highly recommend this tour with Jacob. I think my fav was the Dough Flatiron location. Super tasty in fact so tasty that I bought 1 of everything and my friend and I had donuts every morning while we were in New York. Great tour!

NYC Professional Photoshoot and Walking Tour with Private Guide

Angela_R, Dec 2025

New York Must Do

We did a New York photo tour with Marc and he was absolutely terrific. He knew all the iconic spots, the hidden gems, and exactly where to stand to get the kind of shots you frame, not forget. His knowledge of the city is unreal, and he made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and genuinely memorable. He gave us local tips and taught us how to catch the Subway. If you want someone who actually knows what they’re doing (and won’t leave you with dodgy angles and double chins), Marc is your guy. Highly recommend this tour.

East Village Rock and Roll Tour *Rock Junket Tours

Patty_G, Oct 2025

I relived a slice of my youth

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and had a lot of pictures and other items (album covers) which really enhanced the tour. He noted great photo ops and several locals greeted him on the tour. I have a very small gripe. I am a 61 year old from NJ. I have been to CBGBs, I have shopped at Trash & Vaudeville in the 1980s, I shopped for albums at the famous record stores. It would have been nice if the guide also had these experiences during the area's heyday of the late 70s/early 80s.

Brooklyn Graffiti Workshop

Jason_W, Oct 2025

Unique Experience, Don’t Miss Out

Got my creative juices flowing. We were definitely not professionals in anyway and took home some fantastic pieces and memories of an unforgettable time. If you have time, make sure to do this workshop. You will not regret it. Ghost was an amazing guide and made the whole experience easy to do.

New York City Sunset or Daytime Sightseeing Cruise

Allison_H, Oct 2025

Highly recommend!

Would highly recommend this experience, especially for couples! The boat itself was incredibly beautiful, and the views were even more beautiful of the city skyline, statue of liberty, and brooklyn bridge. The boat had a full bar (1 complimentary drink included of your choice, including seasonal cocktails!) and charcuterie to snack on. The tour guides were great in sharing info/facts about the sights, but it did not at all feel like a history lesson (which was much preferred for me!)

New York Full Day Private Tour: Hidden Gems & Local Highlights

Alyssa_S, Sep 2025

The best of NY in a short amount of time!

This is the perfect experience because you can let your tour guide know what you'd like to see ahead of time and they plan the day accordingly to make the most out of the time you have together. Our guide Denise was fantastic and made sure we saw all the things we wanted and shared history and interesting facts about each of the areas we visited. She also gave us great tips for other areas to explore and things to do on our own, as well as areas to avoid! I highly recommend this activity and would ask for Denise as your guide. Enjoy New York, I know my husband and I sure did!
