Great tour! - Be advised that this is a walking tour. John Bow, our guide, was amazing and knowledgeable on the history of NYC. Great way to see and hit the high points of the city. Ended at the observatory center on 911 grounds. Well worth it!

Perfect NYC Overview – Informative, Easy, and Highly Enjoyable - John Bow was an excellent tour guide—informative, engaging, and clearly passionate about what he does. The tour was very well structured, covering all the major NYC sights while still being easy and comfortable to walk. A real highlight was the Staten Island ferry cruise, which offered amazing views and was a great addition to the experience. Overall, a fantastic way to see the city in a day. I would 100% recommend this tour!

Great introduction to New York - Great experience! Small group that covered a lot of ground. Walked around 5 miles, road the subway and took the ferry. Lindsay was very knowledgeable and kept the group moving. Great way to introduce yourself with New York without getting overwhelmed. See provided lots of insight and information we wouldn’t have learned on our own. Definitely recommend.

Must do tour of NYC - Best tour i have done. Had a very limited knowledge of NYC. Jim our tour guide was so passionate about NYC. He showed us so much of NYC we would had never seen or known. We discovered so may hidden gems that we would not had seen on a bus tour. If in NYC for the 1st time, do this tour, you won't be disappointed. A++

Wonderful quick and informative tour of New York city - We had a wonderful time doing the 6-hour walking guided tour of Manhattan last week. Our tour guide, Jim Wahler, was very friendly, informative, and willing to assist in any way he could. We managed to see all the advertised sights, as well as getting a pizza lunch around noon. The round-trip ferry to Staten Island gave us the chance to view the Lady Liberty and the New York City skyline. Jim showed us how to use the subway like the natives, and we had no problem getting back to our hotel from the last tour stop at the Oculus. Highly recommend wearing comfortable shoes or boots for this tour with Jim Wahler.

Excellent experience - My daughter and I were very lucky to be the only ones on the tour. Dan was extremely knowledgeable about the city, mixing in humor with history. Be prepared to walk, but wirh enough of stops that it's not overwhelming. The panoramic views from One World were amazing with full views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Statue of Liberty, etc.
