Excellent tour and Tom has an amazing tour guide! We were able to see so many sites in a relatively short amount of time. Tom was very knowledgeable, sharing the history of the city, his personal experiences and answering any questions that were asked. Having only one day to see the sites this was definitely the best way to go. I did not want to take the risk of being stuck in traffic on a bus I went on St. Patrick's day during the parade so decided the walking tour would be the best. The description is correct - walking really is the best way to see the city. You will take the subway for quick point A to point B transfers but for the most part you are on foot. I would not recommend this tour for families w/ young children or those that don't have comfy shoes
Next visit I will definitely take another tour and request Tom as my tour guide!!
Jared was our tour guide and was so friendly and welcoming that he made our tour feel like a walk with a friend. Only I and my daughter were on this tour, but we never felt awkward or uncomfortable. Jared not only explained the sites, but made sure I and my daughter knew how to navigate through the city and the subways safely. He gave us lots of opportunities for pictures and knew the best places for the best shots. He was so patient with us and answered all our questions so that we would be able to go to places on our own throughout our stay. If this is your first time in NYC I would strongly recommend not only this tour, but this tour guide as well. Thank you Jared for a great memory!
