We were lucky enough to have a private tour with Debbie herself and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Debbie was so friendly and welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. The tour was aided by various photographs on the way round to really put things into perspective. As there were just two of us on the tour, Debbie catered it around us and concentrated on areas specific to our interests. The tour was booked for 2 hours but she was more than happy to go above and beyond and the tour ended up being in excess of 3 hours - our choice, not forced upon us. Would definitely recommend Debbie and her tours to anyone wanting a tour of NYC with a personal touch.

Debbie was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide who provided us with a detailed and personal tour of the financial district and 911 site. We visited many places that we would have missed if we walked the area by ourselves. My two teenage children also enjoyed Debbie's stories and jokes and we all learnt a lot from the information she shared with us. We had a wonderful morning with Debbie.

I highly recommend this tour! Debbie provided an individualized and unique experience for our walking tour. The price is ridiculously cheap for the service. This is a New Yorker, giving a tour in New York. It does not get any better. Book your tour!
