We had our midtown tour with Max last weekend and he did a great job. Both knowledgable of the architecture and entertaining, he also gave us great food recommendations that checked out great......especially Eataly . He made a cold winter tour as enjoyable as he could! Highly recommend this company. It is the second time we have used them.

Max took us on such an informative, customized tour given that some of us had seen Midtown multiple times, and for another it was their first! It was wonderful being able to adjust to our groups' needs for bathroom or food breaks, snow or heat and spending more time at attractions which were on our bucket list. Max found us the most authentic and inventive places to get great food. This is our 4th tour with CityRover and we can't get enough! The knowledge and stories are the adventure!

Marcia, it's always a pleasure to see you and the ladies when you visit NYC. Thanks for putting up with some very cold weather (especially considering where you were visiting from). I am grateful that you came back for tour #4 and look forward to #5. Have a great 2018!

Max, the owner of City Rover, met our party of 3 at our hotel and customized our afternoon walking tour to suit our needs. On our first afternoon in NYC, we were able to see all of the Midtown Landmarks, a great introduction to the area where we stayed. Max was knowledgeable about each of the sites, relaxed and fun to talk with. Throughout the tour, he gave us advice to make our trip more enjoyable. He clearly loves his job and aims to please. As billed in his promotions, the tour is more like meeting a friend who gives you a tour than a commercial venture. We had planned to visit the HighLine and have dinner at the Standard Grill that evening. Max ended our tour by taking us on the subway to the HighLine and tutoring us on how to use the subway to get from our hotel to get to Statue of Liberty and 911 sites. A perfect tour that was a springboard to a wonderful trip.
