What better way to start the new year than with a walking tour lead by the amazing Samuel. We saw so many iconic sights throughout the tour but it was Samuel that brought the history and meaning of each one to life. We learnt so many interesting facts about New York and were able to ask as many questions as we possible. The tour was at a great pace and Samuel was responsive to the needs of the group. He had great recommendations for foods to try, places to see and hidden gems within the city.
The biggest highlights of the tour for me were St Patricks Cathedral, New York State Library, Grand Central Terminal, Wall Street and the 9/11 Memorial.
This is a must do tour if it is your first time to New York and even if you've been multiple times you will learn something new.
Make sure you wear good shoes, rug up during winter and be prepared to learn a lot.
