One of the original stations just after opening. This achievement is great and so important that there were postcards of various stations.

Very educational.

Robin_F, Apr 2026
Very personable. Like going on a tour with a friend who knows so much. A lot of information I did not know as a New Yorker myself.

Definitely recommend this tour

deborah, Oct 2025
Loved this tour!!! Jonathan was very interesting and informative. Without him we would have never attempted to experience the subway. We were lucky to see it from a local’s point of view.

Great interesting subway tour

Barbara_K, May 2025
John was knowledgeable. . We had been on the subway many times but never saw what he showed us. He had pictures and told us how everything started and progressed. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour for any age . Even people who live in New York .

NYC must do

Irene_C, Jan 2025
This was a great private tour. Jon knows LOADS abt the subway and its history, as well as the art that fills it. I would highly recommend this tour, and will plan to do some of his other tours the next time I come to NYC.
