Fantastic experience - definitely a great mix of Christmas and History and Dan was a great guy - it felt more like wandering around sightseeing with a very knowledgeable friend more than a guide.

Dan, the tour guide, was so amazing. His approach to presenting New York history and the selection of landmarks were exceptional. I would have never considered visiting the New York Library but it was one of the most enjoyable moments. Dan presented New York history as a story of New York’s legions. He gave us a great New York experience.
