Highly highly recommend! - We had the best time and learned so much fun trivia! Brianna was the best!! So friendly and knowledgeable. We had a little trouble finding her and called the phone number. A very kind lady helped us find her. A whole different part of NYC I probably would have never seen if I hadn’t booked, so fun. 1000% recommend⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A guide like Orlando and a great neighborhood - Orlando gave us the tour in Spanish as it was just the 4 of us. It was very friendly and entertaining. He also provided a lot of information and recommendations from Greenwich Village and New York in general. I really recommend doing this tour on a Friday night (or weekend) to see the movement of this amazing neighborhood.

Fantastic and Memorable Experience in NYC - We had a fabulous experience with TopDog Tours! Maddie was our guide for the History of Greenwich Village, she was extremely knowledgeable, included so many facts about the area, buildings and history. We were fascinated! This was truly a memorable NYC experience and we will do another tour on our next trip! Louise

Great night with Joel - Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to discover a different side of NYC! Our friendly guide, Joel, shared a wealth of knowledge, captivating stories, and hidden gems throughout the area. He was incredibly engaging and made the experience both informative and entertaining. We loved visiting some of the city’s iconic hot spots while hearing the fascinating stories that put them on the map. This tour is an absolute must!

Avoid as NO Customer Service Sadly! - Totally unaccommodating and uncaring about safety of customers. We were looking forward to this tour and had booked through go city. As we were leaving the hotel(in plenty of time) my partner slipped of the large curbs & sprained her ankle badly. I emailed prior to the time to say that the accident had made it unsafe to travel and we wouldn’t be able to make it , to not even receive a reply and a notification before the tour had even finished we had been charged the full price for the tour - very unprofessional in my opinion , this would have been free with our go city passes. They have been very unhelpful via email when I emailed to complain about being charged the full price claiming that their guide was also late and they had mailed us to say they where delayed , but again totally disinterested in my partners injury ! Whilst I appreciate there is a cancellation policy I feel there should be some flexibility when it comes to extreme unplanned incidents and the safety of customers should be paramount. We obviously could not have given more than the 2 days required notice as this was totally unexpected & my partner was mortified ! This is the only company we had issue with on the go city passes everyone else was very accommodating to the injury and allowed changes. We visited a total of 18 attractions with the excellent Go City Passes, but avoid Top Dog Tours , as they are anything but top Customer Service sadly
