Kevin was a great tour guide!

It is a walking tour so during the cold months make sure you bundle up. The information on the tour was insightful and allowed us to learn key details about NYC. Get the SUMMIT tickets it’s worth it.

Midtown Manhattan tour was fun & informative!

Cynthia_P, Feb 2026

Sheree was our guide and did a fabulous job showing us around Midtown Manhattan on Valentine’s Day. She was experienced, helpful, and took photos of us in iconic spots. She had extensive knowledge of the sites we visited, and her recommendations were helpful! She went beyond the basics by pointing out additional buildings and landmarks we passed by. We learned a lot of history and present day information. Her photos of history enhance the tour. We had a great time!

Horrible

This whole thing was a scam and ruin my birthday…. What they shown on the online is not what they offer…. This was an experience that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy…..

The Summit option need to be reserved at the time of booking as well.

We did the Midtown Manhattan Guided Tour with Leo yesterday and had a great time! It was a great way to see some of the famous NYC sites and get your barings of the city. Leo did a great job of educating us and we learned a lot. We would definitely recommend this tour.
