Our guide Kevin designed the tour great. He was able to tell a lot about all the buildings and has been able to convey his own experiences very well. I am very happy to have booked the tour, and to have gone to the Memorial with the knowledge and would definitely recommend it! Thank you Kevin!:)

Hi there, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that Kevin made your tour such a memorable experience. His extensive knowledge and personal stories truly bring the city's history to life! If you're looking to explore more of New York City, we highly recommend the NYC: Official Grand Central Terminal Tour. It's a fantastic way to learn about the history and architecture of one of the city's most iconic landmarks! We hope to see you on another great tour soon! Kindly, Andrii Walks & Devour Tours
