Everything you could want in a tour. Our tour guide, Joel, was terrific. He providing a fascinating history of quite a number of buildings and the stories of the individuals associated with them over the years. Even the places we stopped to snack had fun histories and we had the the best Bialys too. We have been New Yorkers for over 20 years and learned so much during our afternoon excursion. We will definitely take another tour with Joel and Top Dog Tours. Thank you.
