I was so excited when I saw the advertisement for this tour and I knew I had to go on it, and Justin our tour guide did not disappoint. He is a terrific guide who is very well informed, friendly and enthusiastic about NYC history. I will be taking this tour again and bringing my Mom who loves NYC history. I will also be looking into some of your other tours.

The guide was really informative. He spoke very clearly, loudly when necessary, and articulately. He answered questions and elaborated on comments others in the group made. The tour was great, and the guide was a big part of why it was so great.
