Book it! Super relaxed, easy going, informative tour - We had Alex as our tour guide - really informative, friendly and knowledgeable, Alex is very friendly, personable, we laughed a lot & learned a lot. Really nice steady walking pace, Alex has a wealth of information that was very insightful, he also picked us some great food spots on the tour too! We stayed in NYC for a week, and this was one of the highlights of our trip. Really reasonable price considering the local depth of knowledge - It is worth every penny, and Alex is a credit to NYC, Thankyou so much

I love New York - After long wishing to come to New York, mainly to visit places known from movies , I had the opportunity to book this tour. I am very pleased with the competence of the guide who has given us a lot of useful information. That's why I can recommend this tour to anyone who doesn't want to waste time looking for these well-known places themselves.

Another New York - Great visit in French. Multiple-choice visit, Kent is a well of knowledge. Prioritise this visit at the beginning of the stay to have advice on visiting and organising the rest.

Guided Walking Tour - Guides were exceptionally knowledgeable and patient. I do recommend that your advertisement let customers know there are no scary neighborhoods and that they are personally responsible to buy their own train tickets when switching from city to city. It's a nominal expense, but l wasn't expecting it. The tour has a lot of walking, but if you're up to it, I highly recommended it!!

Tour not recommended! - Uninteresting route content. Too much history and too little reference to today. No graffiti , no Yankee Stadium, none of the content advertised. Bilingual tour takes twice as long with no additional info gain. Time robbers! Guide was trying very hard. Tour in this form not recommended!
