Superb start to a city visit - Pat was pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. A really great way to get your bearings in parts of the city. Always amenable for plenty of questions and a great day for our first day in the city. Be prepared to get some steps in!

Great way to see NYC - We had Pat and he was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable, entertaining and overall very passionate about his city. Would recommend to anyone who wants to cover a lot of NY at one time,but at a reasonable pace, not feeling too overwhelming.

Perfect for first timers - It was a perfect, relaxed, well guided way to walk the city with a reliable native New Yorker (Pat was kind, patient and friendly) gave us ample time at each location. We enjoyed his recommendations for lunch. We rode the subway, walked and we enjoyed the sunset while on the free Staten Island ferry. Sharp, on time. Highly recommended and I too recommend!

Excellent overview of midtown - This is a long day but well worth it to get a great overview of Manhattan. Our original tour was cancelled as there was no guide available so rescheduled for two days later. Roger our guide was excellent. Very informative and chilled with lots of local knowledge. He was also an excellent photographer so took loads of snaps for us too. Although the last part of the tour on the Staten Island Ferry was delayed by over half an hour due to a passenger medical emergency our guide continued the tour well beyond his due time and made us feel comfortable throughout.

Magical Christmas in New York - Roger was totally laid back and a pleasure to spend the day with. We took this tour because it touched on several locations on our itinerary and felt this would help us figure out which ones we might want to spend additional time at, how to navigate to them on our own, all while learning about the locations from a local. It definitely served its purpose. We really appreciated the time he took for each person/group to take pictures. 10/10 recommend

Wonderful guide / wonderful city - It was a wonderful experience, we loved every place he took us too. The only only downside to the experience was it was cold and if you have issues waking don’t do it. We walked for 6 plus hours. But we knew this ahead of time and was more than ready and dressed for the experience. ROGER The guide deserves 10 stars he was amazing. He knew us each individually by first name. Always offered to take photos of us. ROGER was such a cheerful person who wasn’t just there bc he had to be. We had a blast because of him. He was funny. He was very knowledgeable and gave us information and history to each stop. If and when we go back ROGER is the one we are going with. He made our experience very personal. Even with a group of people. We weren’t rushed either. ROGER made sure we got back to our hotel/ final destination, shared his phone number to make sure. We all would highly recommend Roger!!
