That’s ‘Awesome!’ In Te Reo Maori, the first language in what most people call New Zealand. It refers to Joel, who hosted us on this wonderful tour.
I’m extremely cynical about ghosts and was only attending because my wife wanted to go and the cost was way lower than a two-hour bar tab.
Joel made this tour really interesting and even more importantly, interactive; he reads his crowd well, is very knowledgeable and articulate which makes him a great communicator. We heard fascinating stories about significant people and places, with historical context provided for foreigners like us. I cannot identify a highlight because of the consistent standard of this experience but will say that this was the best two hours of our wonderful week in NYC.
The timing of this tour for this time of year was ideal; starting in evening light, ending when the nightlife was cranking up. The pickup and drop off locations are convenient for subway stations.
Last two things.
I was skeptical about all the five star reviews for this tour but am now a convert.
Joel is a jewel.
