What a great way to see New York - more like a New Yorker! Our guide, Billy, had lived there 20 years and was able to show us around easily. We loved his stories and anecdotes best. Our favorite part was going to some of his favorite spots along with hitting the sites we wanted to see. He asked us at the beginning what we had already seen/done, and we worked around that. Absolutely recommend this tour for people who want to feel more integrated in the city versus just the bird’s eye view. You do walk a lot, so definitely make sure that you’re physically able and have comfortable shoes!!

A brilliant day. Jen our guide was fun, knowledgeable and really friendly. She adapted the tour to suit us and we saw so much of Manhattan in the time we had, it was amazing. We were then able to go and revisit a number of places in the two other days we had in the city. I can’t speak highly enough of this tour, particular as it was our first time in nyc with three teenage kids, who all loved it too. Would highly recommend it.

Our guide Joel, Zero Boy, was and absolutely wonderful tour guide. He tailored the tour to our interests and enabled us to understand the NYC subway system along with our children. We were able to use the subway after our tour to go to Battery Park and take a trip on the Staten Island ferry. Joel gave us wonderful tips and advice that only a New Yorker would know. I would highly recommend this tour! 10 out of 10!!! Thank you so much Joel! You made our visit to NYC amazing.
