Manhattan Architecture Tour - Is based more on history rather than specific architectural components of the buildings. Annabell was very kindly informative regarding unique aspects, historical transactions, and variables regarding the different buildings we visited. It was really a pleasure to learn from her!

An Absolute Must if you have any interest in Architecture - Annabel was a fantastic tour guide. She possesses extensive knowledge of history and architecture, and her enthusiasm is infectious. Her storytelling was captivating, and I especially appreciated how she involved us in the historical narrative. I highly recommend this tour. We have been visiting NYC at least twice a year for the past thirteen years, and it was surprising how long we waited to take a guided tour, considering the number of times we admired buildings and wondered about their stories and architectural details

An exceptional and enjoyable tour. - Our tour guide Annabel delivered an highly engaging and first class history lesson in a series of fantastic locations. The information flowed beautifully and was entirely accessible. Whether or not you have an interest in Architecture, this tour delivers a great sense of New York City. It rained a little during our trip but we weren’t outdoors all the time and the terrain was easy and the pace was comfortable. And there were good restrooms and coffee stops on route. We highly recommend the tour and Annabel as your guide. We took the tour Saturday 5 April. Peter

Best tour ever - This tour was one of my very best experiences in NYC and probably the best tour I have ever experienced in many years of worldwide travel. Annabel is so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and personable. Having experience as a tour guide myself, I recognise an outstanding tour guide when I see one. Annabel is absolutely top notch. The pace of the tour was just right - many important and impressive buildings were visited and discussed in detail. I especially appreciated being able to go inside many of the buildings. The communication pre and post booking was also exemplary - informational helpful and personal. Thank you Alex and Annabel! I cannot imagine a better tour company in NYC, or anywhere else for that matter. (I also did the High Line tour, same comments apply!)
