I had the pleasure of joining Jeremy Wilcox’s Midtown Art Deco Tour with Custom NYC Tours, and it was truly an outstanding experience. Jeremy is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a fantastic storyteller. His passion for Art Deco architecture and its impact on New York City’s development was evident throughout the tour. Rather than just pointing out buildings, Jeremy provided a deeper, more comprehensive understanding of the architectural details, historical context, and cultural significance behind these stunning landmarks. His engaging style and friendly demeanor made the experience both educational and enjoyable. Whether you're a local or a visitor, if you have an interest in architecture, history, or simply want to see NYC from a fresh perspective, I highly recommend this tour. I walked away with a newfound appreciation for the beauty and influence of Art Deco design in the city.
