A MUST! Highly Recommend

Hailey_C, Jan 2026

This was my first time visiting New York, and I brought my daughter for her 15th birthday along with her best friend. Andrew P was our tour guide. I could not have asked for a better tour guide. First off, It was so refreshing to have a New York native as our tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, took us around the city, we had such a blast. Andrew was incredibly entertaining, and I feel so lucky that he was our tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone especially visiting New York for the first time. I would definitely book a tour again just to do it again!

Federal Building is closed. No one there to meet you and no directions on new location.

Nathalie_B, Aug 2025

Tour guide does not answer if you get lost. General number is not answered promptly. Went to location listed in the directions. No one was there to meet us. Federal building was closed, no updates on new meeting location.

I made the right choice...

Tami_K, May 2025

I made the right choice by booking this tour for my first time in NYC. Our guide, Jake, showed us all the main sights in Manhattan. He gave us valuable advice on what to do and not do in the city. He was knowledgeable and interesting and we felt like we were hanging out with a friend. I highly recommend this 5 hour tour, especially if it’s your first time in NYC.

Walking in The Big Apple.

Cecil_V, Mar 2025

It was a great experience having DJ as a tour guide. He has a great sense of humor making NYC tour more enjoyable.

Fantastic!!!

Julie_R, Jan 2025

We loved our tour with Rosemary (Ro)!!!! This was worth our time and money! We would’ve been walking for 5 hours anyway, so why not learn about what you are seeing along the way AND you don’t have to worry about navigation. Ro had amazing history lessons! We recommend taking this tour on the first full day of your trip.

New York Ivory

Anthony_I, Nov 2024

The most memorable points about our day was listening to our guide educate us on New York. We learned so much.

Good intro to NYC

Annette_S, Oct 2024

It was a good introduction to New York. We covered a large area from Wall St to Central Park. Thank goodness we caught a train from Little Italy to Grand Central Station. Our guide was informative and easy to talk to. We didn't quite follow the itinerary I expected, but it was good.

great tour

Beth_F, Oct 2024

Great tour and got to see tons of stuff all in one day. Max, our tour guide was great! He gave lots of info within the tour and very helpful for recommendations for the rest of our trip. well worth it!

Top notch tour

Timothy_A, Oct 2024

Top notch tour. A LOT of walking, ,( miles !). not for the physical challenged. Wonderful information.

Alone and confused

Dr_Y, Aug 2024

The tour was very informative. The guide was very focused on making his schedule. However, he spent almost 3 hours of the tour in the Wall Street area, which should have been one hour, and left very little time in Little Italy and Chinatown. It also made taking pictures of the sites he told us about was very difficult. We headed to the subway a little over three hours into the tour. My friend and I were having trouble paying for the train. The tour guide and group were gone when we got past the gates. We went to the different platforms to look for them, but clearly, they had boarded a train without us. It was very disappointing that it was a pretty good tour, which turned into a very frustrating situation. So, we were left not completing the 5 hour tour we paid for and down in the subway in a city we did not know.

Outside of the Box!

Erin_N, Jul 2024

My daughter and I throughly enjoyed our tour. It was not the typical speaker box tour and so grateful for that. So much knowledge and background information, the kind of things only a long term local would know. I recommend this tour over all others! Get off the bus and get on your feet!

Way to go Ryan!!

Saghi_R, Jul 2024

Our tour guide Ryan was amazing!! Learned so much that we would’ve Never learned on our own or even would have walked by. He made it fun and interesting. Definitely would do another tour through him!!

Great walking tour with awesome guide

Rafael_L, Jun 2024

The tour was amazing and our guide, Amanda, is the most competent and heart-warming person I could imagine for a tour like that. She told us so many interesting stories and answered any questions of the group. Highly recommended!!

Top Class Tour

Paul_C, Oct 2023

I have been on a few guided walks in various locations but this was the best and it’s not even close. Our guide, John, was professional, attentive, informative and above all fun! He is clearly in love with New York and he achieved his goal of making us love New York with ease. It is hard to believe that a tour of over five hours could pass so quickly but thanks to John with his local knowledge and personal anecdotes the day flew by. The rest of my family were also blown away by John, a man who has left us happier and wiser.

Wonderful tour! Everyone should book!

Kari_F, Oct 2023

Everything! I have wouldn’t have seen any of these sites on my own. Comfort level was great as I was traveling alone.

Enjoyed every step of the...

Joe_O, Jun 2022

Enjoyed every step of the tour. Definitely lots of walking but the breaks were well placed in the tour. Loved hearing short stories with every stop and sam’s energetic personality.

Bad experience.

Vera_B, Sept 2025

The walk was terrible. The guide was very alternative, suggested activities like entering a beer fair and in the middle of the tour left us in a park for young children for about 30 minutes in Chinatown and went to buy food for him. After that we had to take the subway and I left (I noticed that 2 couples also did not continue). I got a bad impression of the Viator site. I was very disappointed. I felt mistaken.
