Great experience!

Patti_S, May 2026

Our guide RYAN was THE BEST!!! It was our son’s graduation from NYU, and his birthday. We had 3 tourists, and 5 NYC residents. I was nervous because the speakeasy tour was the only thing I had planned for graduation/birthday night. . . The tour was everything I needed it to be AND MORE!!! Not hokey! Not “touristy”. A tour that even thoroughly impressed the locals! We had the BEST TIME!!! Thank you, Ryan!!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻. We hope we got your part!

Response from Host, May 2026

We are glad you enjoyed the experience. We agree that Ryan is great and also hope he gets the part. All of our hosts/storytellers are performers so we look forward to losing them to Broadway stardom some day soon!
