Good experience but felt a bit disjointed. We jumped from one thing to another. The tour was billed as Queens Subway. I suggest it be reorganized to just focus on that subject in more detail. items such as Hudson rail yard and Second Ave subway should be dropped and replaced by more in depth tour of the Flushing line: history and today. This would create a more consistent presentation.

This is a fun, informative tour with someone who knows the subway system at a whole different level. I highly recommend it.

Rayn’s passion and knowledge about subways and urban transportation is amazing. He’s got incredible historical photos and gives a lot of love to NYC subways. If you’ve ever been curious about the subway, you’ll want to talk to Rayn. He puts a phenomenal amount of research and work into his tours. Joanne
