The guide was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the subject. Good pacing, fun, suprising, educational - well worth doing. That being said, I personally feel that the $39 price point per person for a very large group 90-minute tour is very high - seems to me a $20 or $25 price point is much more appropriate for such a large group and it would encourage more participation (then again, maybe limiting the numbers is part of the thinking - so maybe a "2 Tours for $50" deal would serve both sides well). In any case, a very good tour that I recommend.

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to review and for the feedback on pricing. We have found that our rates are extremely competitive with most other experiences in NYC. It also allows us to pay our guides competitively since we work with only the best guides in New York. But again, I appreciate your feedback and will take it into considerations. All best!

This was an incredible tour!! Ginny Poleman was a FANTASTIC guide! She was extremely knowledgeable as well as funny and made the tour really entertaining. I had no idea there were so many nooks and crannies to explore as well as all the history. Definitely recommend!
