Such a knowledgeable tour guide! It was magical to learn more about buildings I pass by all of the time. History come to life. Fortunately/unfortunately it was a beautiful fall NYC day so the streets were crowded which made staying together and, therefore, hearing sometimes difficult even with the group Bluetooth hearing devices, but that’s NYC for you :)

Hi Heather, glad you learned more about buildings you pass by all the time and doubly glad you enjoyed your tour. And yes on a beautiful day Fifth Avenue can be challenging with people flooding the sidewalks to access Central Park. Thank you for your understanding and we will work to provide better alternatives during crowded days on Fifth. Be well!
