Discover the Beaux-Arts masterpiece on Fifth Avenue that is the NY Public Library and learn why it's called the "People's Palace", what rare gems are houses in its collection, and some fun facts about the massive classical building. We may explore the building's stunning interior if group size and library hours allow.

My husband and I booked a private tour with Max to walk through Midtown Manhattan. This was probably our 5th tour with City Rover Walks. We have been to NYC many times and walked by these buildings over and over, but never knew their history or examined the art work and sculptures closely. Max did a fabulous job, as usual. My husband said it was his favorite part of our week long trip. We highly recommend CityRoverWalks and will book again on our next visit. Thank you, Max, for your professionalism and expertise and for never disappointing us.

It was my first time in NY and during the tour the whole city started to live and I got a totally new perspective to this huge Metropolitan. When I'm coming next time to NY, I will definitely use CityRover Walks. I will highly recommend Max as your tour guide!

My husband and I participated in a public group tour two years ago, and we knew that when we returned with our kids that we would book a CityRover tour again because it was so informative and fun and much more personal than a passive bus tour (which we also did!). Max led us on a private tour (kids, 8 and 10) of the places we'd told him we wanted to explore, from Times Square to Midtown to a subway trip to the Lower East Side. It felt like walking around the city with an old friend, even though we'd just met him. He took breaks and found restrooms when the kids needed them, and he even bought them each a piece of chocolate (bonus points :)). He steered us toward the next place on our visit so that his tour ended there and also gave us lunch recommendations. I love that he left corporate America to follow his dreams and do what he loves, and I hope you support him, too. I can't imagine a visit to NYC without it! Thanks, Max!
