My daughter and I felt extremely fortunate to stumble upon this walking tour with Karen Q when looking for things to do in NYC this weekend. Our tour was small and our tour guide/owner/historian Karen was absolutely fantastic! She is so deeply knowledgeable about this subject and describes early NYC so vividly that you can picture the way it was back then. Walking the historic streets of New York was fun, too. You won’t be sorry to book this tour with Karen Q. I am planning to do another one the next time I go back to visit my daughter. Highly recommended!

if you're even just the slightest bit interested in early american history this tour is great. Its a walking tour of downtown NYC and its amazing how many little things still remain in the city from that time that go unnoticed. The tour guide Karen is very informative and easy to bounce questions off of. You can tell she's very passionate about this subject and i enjoyed all she had to talk about. I will definitely do another one the next time i have a free day in the city.
