Tom took us to all of the... - Tom took us to all of the NYC highlights and provided some wonderful history and commentary along the way! Six hours seems like a long time, but it flew by! Every moment was enjoyable! Take any of Tom’s tours, and you will be in the best of hands!

Pat went over the top as a tour guide - The tour went on for over 6 1/2 hours and for most people that would probably be too much however Pat was unreal. Not only did he really know the citi having lived here all his life but shared it enthusiastically. One of the things I had underestimated was the impact Emotional impact. of the destruction of the twin towers. He was vivid in his description of what it occurred. He donates a lot of his time still this long after the terrorist attack. he was also very passionate about respecting by our actions. The fact that this has been well preserved and is a a memorial is vital important to be remembered.

Fantastic and an easy walkable tour. - We had a wonderful experience. Pat, our tour guide, had so much knowledge about NYC. The walk was very easy with lots of rest breaks. He made great recommendations for lunch at Times Square and knew the best places for a restroom break. Pat was very polite and assisted with the subway and ferry. He always put safety first. Highly recommend this tour.

Knowledgeable and SAFE. - Born and raised NY native, Roger, was awesome. This was our last day in NYC and so glad that we ended with this excursion. Yesterday we took a bus around to get our bearings so we could fully appreciate all we saw today. He gave us an insiders view that as a tourist , we didn't see. He was extremely respectful and conscientious of the women and children in the group, keeping everyone together and safe. Wear comfy shoes! it's not hard walking, but you cover a lot of area. Well worth the time and $. Would definitely recommend. Roger is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to NYC. Also. when he recommends an eating place, you can bank on it! Great pizza (Artichoke Pizza)! Thank you Roger for keeping me safe! 🤎

Excellent tour guide and tour experience - Roger was an exceptional tour guide, relaxed although efficient, he kept everything calm (others don’t) and his knowledge of the city was outstanding. His willingness to answer questions and provide advice for our stay was very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend this tour to family and friends - Roger enabled us to see so much of the city in little time, but at no stage did we feel rushed. 5 star tour !!!

11/29/24 tour - Roger did an excellent job explaining the backstory and symbolism of the tour points. Especially at the 9/11 memorial. Also the tour maintained a good pace but was not rushed. Having good picture taking spots was great.
