Awesome tour - This was a really great tour. I know a lot about New York City history and wasn’t sure I’d learn that much but I barely knew anything Laura, the tour guide, said. She was great! Entertaining and personable. And to top it off, I made a new friend who was on the tour as a solo also. Highly recommend!

Truly amazing - Informative and delivered with enthusiasm. Very much enjoyed this weekend activity. We learnt many new things and saw buildings we often walk past without realizing their history.

Very knowledge and entertaining tour guide! - Our guide was excellent - both super informative and hilarious. Great side stories that really brought the area alive. It was also great that we were such a small group -- 4 people.
