I would highly recommend taking a tour even if you are somewhat familiar with New York or have visited before. I learned so many things walking around with Dan, and got a lot of great advice from him. He is very knowledgeable and flexible.

We had an excellent introduction to Midtown via a walking tour. Andrew met us at the lobby of our hotel and gave my wife and me an excellent overview of the city. Andrew is a knowledgeable and friendly native New Yorker. We covered a lot of ground, and used the subway to get to lower Manhattan. I highly recommend!

Added a trip to NYC (my first) to some other business in northern NJ. With a short window of time in the city, I want to squeeze as much out of our time as possible so that we could get a flavor of the city, well, at least Manhatten. Dan, our guide worked with us and tailored our tour to check out Greenwich Village, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown. We had a 3-hour tour and the Dan kept the pace where this old (65) man could keep up yet keep our 18 years old interested. Dan was also very helpful with emailing suggestions for guiding us in navigating the subway on the day we arrived so we were able to get to our hotel with no issues. We could not have been happier with the professionalism and service provided by Dan and CityRovers!
