Just completed our tour with Ryan and he was wonderful! My friends and I were locals but really appreciated the history and speakeasy locations during our tour. All the drinks were great!!

It was a great experience and a great tour. Our host, Ryan, was fantastic, knowledgeable, and accommodating; he took us through the streets of Midtown among popular landmarks and less-known corners. Over the three hours, we visited three speakeasies. It was a Saturday, so understandably packed everywhere, but I nevertheless could enjoy my drinks, learning a bit more about prohibitionist and bootlegging. The vibe was great, and even if I was by myself, it was easy to connect with the other guests. Strongly recommended.
