We loved our time with Rob today! He was very kind and knowledgeable and my kids loved hearing all of the history behind the sites we saw. They all agreed that they wish he had been their history teacher because he made today so much fun. Would give him more than 5 stars if I could!

What a great experience for my first time visiting New York! I left the tour feeling well informed, exhausted lol, but fulfilled after a satisfying day with Jim. He goes out of his way to ensure that his tour group gets the history of the city and it’s evident through his continuous stream of information at almost every location. Also as a solo traveler, I felt included and valued and that meant a lot to me. I would tell those who are interested to get the sleep you need beforehand and wear the most comfortable shoes you have! Our tour was around 7 hours, but not a minute was wasted! Thank You Jim for making my first trip to NYC memorable. God bless you!

Booking this tour was super simple. It was followed up with informational emails that were clear and concise. Locating my tour guide went smoothly. Paul was my guide. He was super friendly and personable. He was knowledgeable and came with a binder of pictures making it easier to visualize how the city looked that day. I would highly recommend this tour.
