An amazing experience that we are still talking about. John Bow was a brilliant tour guide who guided us all around NY with a wealth of knowledge. We were a group of family/friend group of 9 and he really took the time to get to know us. We had 3 children in our group and they also loved it. We did so much walking but it was not tiring with lots of stop.

Absolutely amazing tour! Our guide, Dan, was fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole experience so enjoyable. We got to see all the iconic sights and learned so much about the city’s history and hidden gems along the way. The pace was perfect, and Dan’s local insights made it feel like we were exploring New York through the eyes of a true New Yorker. To top it all off, we stopped for some incredible pizza, hands down one of the best slices I’ve ever had! Such a fun, authentic experience from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to really feel the city rather than just see it.

Our tour guide, Jim, was great! Wonderful historical background of the "rise" of NYC and it's skyline. A truly interesting tour with quite a bit of walking but well worth the effort! Unfortunately due to a personal mishap my wife and I were unable to complete the Staten Island Ferry, Statue of Liberty, 911 Memorial and the One World Tower Observation Deck viewing. That said my mishap allowed me a unique New York City experience where I gained a whole new perspective on the compassionate heart of the citizens, NYFD and NYPD first responders. The people in this city are phenomenal and I've gained a totally new respect for them. Thanks to Jim our tour guide and his follow up on me!

Fantastic tour of NYC! This tour focused on many of the major sites of NYC and added a bonus history of NYC along the way! Jim did a great job of showing us all the sites and sharing great details along with the history along the way! He was well organized and kept us track the entire day! When we left it felt like we were saying good bye to good friends! Thanks Jim for your hard work and dedication!

Jim was great. His passion for the city was evident. I learned interesting things such as Bowling Green Park is the oldest park and Park Ave. is interrupted by Grand Central Terminal. He was patient with those of us who were constantly taking pictures. I highly recommend this tour and, especially, Jim.

I learned and saw so much on this tour and Jim was fantastic. He was upbeat, knowledgeable, professional, and congenial. I liked how he pointed out little things like engraved dates, etc. and then gave us the history. You can tell that he really did his homework and prepared well for his tours. You could tell he enjoyed his job.
