The guides were very considerate of the people who came late which is nice but it was a bit disturbing to the rest of us. I think they had a lot more people then usual. I think they may need to have more definitive limit or get a third guide. However it still was a very good tour!

The guide was passionate and detailed in every information, tips and news he offered. He was equipped with bluetooth earphones connected with his mic, this was very precious, it allows us to perfectly ear besides the regular noise of a train station.

A friend and I (both former Manhattan residents) attended this tour together and we thought it was fabulous. Our guide, John, was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Furthermore, he had an obvious love for the subject, which made his stories all the more fascinating. If you want to see the little nooks and crannies you'd never noticed and hear the historical tidbits that make them special, this is the tour for you. Highly recommend to both tourists and residents who want to see more of their own city.
