Incredible way to see mid and lower Manhattan in NYC with a tour guide that “knew it all” and had an incredible sense of humor. I would highly recommend the tour and more highly recommend Rob. My Apple watch clocked 6 miles. Finished up at the World Trade Center, highly recommend adding the One World Observatory to cap off a great day.
