Debbi M did an amazing job and gave a lot of great information to 5 people including 3 mildly interested and very cold teenagers. Her insight and personal stories of 911 will not be forgotten. She was thorough and attentive to our tight tourist schedule. That was much appreciated. I would love to give her 5 stars and the tour 2 stars but since I can’t separate the 2, I wouldn’t and couldn’t give Debbi anything lower than a 5. The reason I’m suggesting a lower score is because of the masks. We were the only tour(out of many) wearing masks. Why! Why! Why! We were outside the entire time except for a quick visit in oculus. This is not communist China and it’s post pandemic. I will not book another tour with “My NY Tours.” Masks should be a personal decision and not a requirement.

We had an absolutely incredible Experience with Debbie Mason. The others who had signed up with us for the tour canceled so we ended up with a private tour with Debbie for 3 hrs. She is so incredibly knowledgeable about the area and she was a pure delight. Plus, she is a professional photographer and was more than willing to take our photos and more over to recommend the perfect places to grab the photos! I Will keep her contact information for our future trips to New York. I highly, highly recommend Debbie!

Debbie, our tour guide, was fabulous. She was very knowledgeable, extremely enthusiastic, and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. She even took us on a couple small detours so we could see a few notable things (like Alexander Hamilton's grave at Trinity Church) that had just reopened to tourists. We absolutely loved the entire experience. As a bonus, she is a great photographer and took a picture of my son and I that I will treasure forever.
