Kevin gave us a tour of Secrets of Central Park. We leaned so much about a park that we have wanted to visit for so long. We plan to return and spend more time exploring this area with our learned knowledge. Our photos we took now have so much more meaning. Thank you Kevin.

Recently, we joined some friends to take this private walking tour without any expectations of what we would see. What a wonderful surprise when we met Kevin and saw how he "brought to life" the Gilded Age as we walked along 5th Avenue. Kevin truly knows the history of New York as demonstrated in all our questions and the facts he shared. Kevin made each of feel like a guest in "his" home(town) as he took a personal interest in showing us around. How to see Kevin in the future on additional tours!

We conduct two private tours with Kevin Draper- The Central Park tour and The Tour of Little Italy and Chinatown. We greatly enjoyed both tours. Kevin was highly knowledgeable and engaging and we would highly recommend conducting a tour with him. He provided a lot of insightful historical facts and helping to bring life to what we were experiencing.
