We navigated the crazy streets of Lower Manhattan with ease, led by a guide with a FANTASTIC grasp of facts and true passion to tell the New York story. I know more of the "why's" behind the looks/feels of the city -- I honestly feel like Build gave me a key to the city and inspiration to unlock more.

I thoroughly enjoyed my architectural walking tour in the Financial District. It was truly an enriching experience thanks to Ivan, who is an experienced architect. His extensive knowledge of the buildings and their architectural style was most interesting and educational.
From the moment we began, it was clear that we were in the hands of a true expert. And
what I appreciated most was his patience and willingness to engage with our group. He encouraged questions and took the time to ensure that everyone felt included, regardless of their level of architectural knowledge. It was refreshing to have a guide who was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about sharing that knowledge with others.
The architecture in the Financial District is a mix of modern skyscrapers and historic structures, and Ivan did a great job of explaining all the different types.
Overall, this walking tour was a fantastic way to explore Manhattan's architectural gems while gaining a deeper appreciation for the history of the Financial District.
I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see New York through the eyes of an expert.
Thank you Ivan for such a memorable experience!

Ivan did an amazing job with this tour. I learned so much about an area which was right next door to where I live. It was both inspiring and fun and extremely informative! Would recommend to anyone visiting or living in New York to do.
