This tour was so fun and enlightening! So many places I’ve passed multiple times now have such historical significance I wasn’t aware of. ALSO the drinks were FABULOUS everywhere we went and the trivia never dragged. Truly entertaining and fun! 10/10

You feel like you’re experiencing a secret world of NYC! LOVED it & our guide Rory was AMAZING! She was full of positive energy, entertaining and incredibly knowledgeable on every venue we went too and the history of prohibition, women who celebrities and women who were game changers during prohibition as well as the history of buildings we passed on the tour!! She even gave us drink and food recommendations!! I would recommend this tour to ANYONE who is in NYC, whether visiting or have lived here there entire life. There is so much amazing history to learn about our incredible city, it blew my mind! And I have lived here since 2006! I went alone, however, I met amazing people that I now consider my new friends! So you can go solo like I did and still have a fantastical time! However, I want to go back and bring my family, a date, a longtime New Yorker friend or celebrate a birthday or special occasion. You just have to experience it, it’s like nothing I have ever experienced so far in NYC, and you can guarantee I will be back for more!
