I cannot recommend this enough!! My now fiancé and I had the best time being shown some of what NYC has to offer in regards history of prohibition and speakeasys. Rory is a wealth of knowledge, and such fun to lead a tour. We got lucky to have an intimate group of just 5 in total, which definitely made it a lot more personal. And allowed a little more attention to details. We learned so much, and we’re given some great tips on how to get discounts in some spots! 😉 They were so accommodating to help us switch or original tickets to get on a tour which we could make. Which really made the already special trip, all the more interesting. I have been recommending this tour to all the locals I know, cause this is a great one for tourists and locals alike! I would happily do it again, along with any other tour on offer! I now have another reason to come back to NYC. Thank you Rory! And I’m so happy you were in on my surprise later that night!
