Our Guide - Mandy Edgecombe - was beyond excellent. She is a phenomenal historian and storyteller!! As a native of the Bronx/Brooklyn I love touring parts of the city we usually take for granted. Mandy brought the Dutch roots of New York alive for us. She was funny, personable and willing to answer all our questions. After the tour we went back and re-read the different historical markers and visited Fraunces Tavern. We even purchased a copy of The Island at the Center of the World when we got home and look forward to learning more. We thoroughly enjoy Untapped New York tours (and emails) - they are worth every penny!

We call Mandy the Queen of New Amsterdam. She is truly the best and loves this tour with all her heart. We are glad you enjoyed it. Island at the Center of the World will only make your experience more amazing! My thanks and be well!
