I was amazed at the detail, prep, knowledge and good humor of our guide Justin who brought New Amsterdam alive in our walk below Wall Street along the street grid still intact from the 17th century Dutch days. Justin provided each of us with the 1660 survey of the town and pointed out the rare Dutch objects and remnants we would easily miss otherwise. He made sure we had sanitizer, wipes if we needed them. It was for me, a researcher of New Netherland, an absolutely fantastic tour.

Really enjoyed this tour with a personable, knowledgeable guide. I would suggest that the company use hearing devices if they want to attract older tourists. My husband heard almost none of the tour.

We are very glad you enjoyed your Tour of the Remnants of Dutch New Amsterdam with Mandy! And we thank you for the suggestion about hearing devices, we do have them available for certain tours and will make sure on this one with larger groups they will be made available. I apologize that your husband wasn't able to hear the tour. If you contact me at [email protected] we can discuss it further.
