Robert was an outstanding guide, loved the stories and reading recommendations! I learned so much, and I’ve been a librarian and voracious reader for over 30 years! Thank you for tailoring parts of the tour to the interests of the group and for your enthusiasm and big personality.

If I had to single out the highlight of my trip to NYC, this would be it. Kurt and Camber were an absolute delight, enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. No matter how much you have read about the places and the culture being able to walk the streets and place the sites in relation to each other adds a priceless dimension.
