What are people saying about New York City

Brian_J, Jul 2026

Do not miss this Food Tour!

Gregg was amazing! My partner and I absolutely loved this food tour which honestly was even more than I was expecting. Gregg gave us some history of the area, the various cultures that make up the area and the historical significance of the area which was a nice touch for America’s 250 year history that’s origin story started right in Brooklyn New York, formerly new Amsterdam and before that, the indigenous people’s of North America which is where part of my own family history comes from. The food was fantastic. We had a great time sharing culture and perfect small bites. Gregg was mindful about the heat and the needs of our group and made sure we got to everything promised on our 3 hour tour that went by faster than we expected. I could not possibly recommend this tour more. I’m originally from New York, and for the first time in 46 years, I was made an even prouder New Yorker than I’d previously been. Gregg obviously has a number of interests and has deep pride in being a New Yorker whose roots are originally from Peru like so many United States Citizens who come from all over the world. We find a home here and we make our significance known to those who get to experience our presence and many contributions.

New York Catacombs by Candlelight

Liberty_H, Jun 2026

A Hidden Gem Beneath New York City

The NYC Catacombs Tour beneath the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral was one of the most unique experiences of our trip. Walking through the underground passageways and historic burial vaults gave us a fascinating glimpse into New York City's past that most visitors never get to see. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing stories about the church, the prominent families buried there, and the history of Lower Manhattan. The atmosphere was both eerie and beautiful, making it feel like stepping back in time. The tour was well organized, informative, and respectful of the historic site. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for something different from the typical tourist attractions, I highly recommend this tour. It was truly a memorable experience and one of the highlights of our visit to New York City.

West Village Pizza Walk

Matt_B, Jun 2026

Best NYC Pizza Tour—A Must-Do Experience with Incredible Slices and Expert Insights

This was easily the best experience we had in NYC and an absolute must-do for any visitor. The tour perfectly showcased the diversity of New York pizza—from the legendary coal-fired pies at John’s of Bleecker, to the classic, no-frills New York slices at Joe’s Pizza, to the authentic Neapolitan craftsmanship at Song’ E Napule. Each stop highlighted a completely different style, and our guide David brought it all to life with engaging stories, deep knowledge of pizza traditions, and a genuine passion for the craft. The pacing was great, the group was fun, and every slice was memorable—highly recommend!

The Birthplace of Hip Hop Harlem and The Bronx

Ebonique_M, May 2026

One of a kind tour

Highly recommend this fun, engaging, and thorough tour! Our guide Rayza was knowledgeable, high energy and super talented. We all really got an immersive experience in art, culture and history of Harlem and the Bronx. Highly recommend if you want a tour experience that extends beyond typical NY sightseeing!

Explore the Ruins of a Forgotten City in the Middle of Manhattan

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.

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!
