Andrew was awesome. Very informative and entertaining. Saw and learned many things we wouldn’t have even have known about without an energetic local guide.

This was absolutely the best way for a non-New Yorker to get around the city. Andrew was punctual, informative, accommodating and friendly. I would 10/10 recommend booking a walking tour with them!

I came to NY for work and brought my mom and 14 year old son along so they can sightsee while I was busy during the day. Since I couldn’t be with them to help them navigate the city for the first day I reached out to Max to see if he could bring them around Manhattan for a few hours. I told him that they may want to stop by a few churches during the day, but mostly just wanted to get an introduction to the city. While I didn’t join them for the tour with Max, I sort of felt like I was with them because they simply could not stop talking about how much they learned from Max during their first day! Max taught them how to navigate the subway, explained the history of neighborhoods and buildings and even taught them about the value of “air space” in NYC! My mom couldn’t look at another building the rest of the trip without commenting about that building’s “air space”! Max was wonderful, I HIGHLY recommend reaching out to him on your next visit!
