If this is your first time to NYC, this tour is a MUST DO! There’s no better way to get the true feel for the Big Apple than to walk the streets and immerse yourself in the experience. Our 11 and 15 year old children loved this walking tour as well. They were able to see the major landmarks of NYC on their first ever trip to the city, and there is no way we could have managed to do all that on our own in that amount of time without this guided experience. Plus, we just learned so much about the history and culture of Manhattan. I’ve visited NYC numerous times before, and still enjoyed every moment of this tour. Our guide Jim was absolutely wonderful and very knowledgeable! He truly made the experience a great one! From using the subway, to taking the Staten Island Ferry, Jim did a fabulous job of guiding us through the city! Walking five miles may sound daunting, but it is almost all flat. The brief stops along the way, the lunch break, and the time on the Staten Island ferry really break up the walking time as well. If you’re on the fence about walking or taking a bus, I 100% recommend walking if you are able!
