Amazing experience 10/10 would recommend. We are a Dutch couple that has lived in LA with our kid for the last 8 years and wanted to learn as much as we could about the Dutch and the influence they had on NYC. Our very knowledgeable and kind guide Richard walked us around the Lower East Side of Manhattan showing us pertinent landmarks along the way, we absolutely loved it and we were tickled to see a few very Dutch things, some we knew about, most we didn’t. Will def take another tour when we come back.

Gabby was such a great tour guide! It was not only the knowledge she had but how she told the story! On our private tour she even was able to show me where my 15th or so great grandfather lived on Marketveldt street (would have never found it!)...now I can show others! Thanks again!

The guide, Mandy, was terrific. Knowledgeable, fun and well organized. The Bluetooth earpieces were easy to wear and had good reception and that made it easy to hear Mandy even in noisy locations. Tour covered many little known aspects of early NYC history, all of which were explained with stories, visuals and on-location sites. Highly recommend this tour.
