Justin is passionaate about the tours he leads and incredibly knowledgable. I have gone on at least four tours with one, and loved each one.

Our guide, Alexa, was wonderful. despite wet and windy conditions she found alcoves and quiet spots to amplify with photos the sites that were seeing. She was very knowledgable and walked at a good pace. I would gladly take another tour with her through Untapped New York.

This was an excellent tour of Rockefeller Center. I've walked through the center many times and saw things today that I didn't know existed. Justin's incorporation of some of the history of the Rockefeller family and the designers of some of the mosaics, paintings, and sculptures make this tour stand out. It's definitely worth taking whether you're visiting for the first time or a local who wants to know more about Rockefeller Center.
