This tour was ridiculously fun. Rory is effervescent and knowledgeable and kept the tour on track throughout the (3) stops we made for drinks and munchies. Her insights were intriguing and highlighted some little known facts about the City. At one of the stops we went on Rory's advice and bought some Nachos - wow, everyone in our party was blown away with how good they were. You'll walk through an interesting are of Manhattan and eventually visit a tiny basement former speak easy with really low lighting, an exciting and large and eclectically decorated bar/restaurant with one of the longest marble bars in NYC and finally one of the highest rooftop bars in the city. Would do this again in a heartbeat as long as Rory was doing the guiding. Thanks for a fabulous time Rory!

We loved this tour. We learned so much, tried delicious drinks in places we’d never have known to visit... and Rory the tour guide did an amazing job!
