Really enjoyable and educational. Our tour guide Jihae Simpkins brought us back in time to the 1600s and gave us a fascinating historical tour covering 400 years. Loved every second of it. I recommend this tour even for a seasoned New Yorker.

Thoroughly enjoyed every second of our 3 hour walking tour through Lower Manhattan. We had our tour guide Garritt all to ourselves and he was amazing. The stories he told were very informative and interesting. Not your typical bland tour where the guide spews off memorized facts. Garritt taught us a lot about the area that we would've never known. I high recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get your steps in and learn a lot about the history of Lower Manhattan. Having an awesome slice of NYC pizza at the end of the tour was icing on the cake!
