Our tour was with Brian and ended up being a small group which was wonderful to be able to stay together to see the sights. Brian was friendly, knowledgeable and fun to be with on this tour and got some great insight on other places to visit in NYC. I will definitely look to book another tour in the future when I'm in the Big Apple!

We had a wonderful guide who told us a lot about the story of US immigration and the history of the downtown quarters. En passant she showed us the best places to buy typical lower east side food - from pickles to cruffins. Thank you, Marshall, for this great experience
