Fun walking tour to learn Lower Manhattan history - We had a fantastic time with our licensed tour guide, Meghan Sara, during Secrets & History of Lower Manhattan Walking Tour. Meghan was a very knowledgeable and passionate storyteller, and 3 hours went by so quickly! I definitely learned quite few new historical facts related to different spots of the Lower Manhattan. I highly recommend the tour with Meghan and definitely would love to join another one of her tours!

Pleasant, professional, energetic and overly considerate of our needs, making sure we made the most of our time together. We loved the New York playlist the tour company sent us ahead of time so thoughtful!

Great walking tour - Megan was a great guide, full of energy and personality. She accommodated our request for an early pit stop to get a bite without being thrown off her stride, and she shared huge amounts of quirky, insider knowledge about NYC's history. Thanks, Megan!
