Had a great intro to NYC through this tour, we walked took the subway and a even the boat to Staten Island. We got off to a rocky start because of subway delays, but our tour guide, Joel, more than made up for it. The walk was at a pleasant pace and we could stop and ask questions as we walked. Started in Times Square and the tour included ground zero, Trinity and top of the Rock to name just a few stops. Bonus for me was that we learned how to get around on the subway, so I didn't take a taxi the whole weekend! Would definitely recommend as a primer to knowing what to do, where to go and how to get around in NYC!
A great tour, Tom was amazing. I have done the bus tour several times, will book this walking tour next time. Riding the subway and walking the streets with a guide is so much better than sitting on a bus as the sites wiz by. We did the trip on the 2nd of a 4 day stay and it was perfect. Thanks Tom! He made sure we saw everything, were well rested and fed, and several washroom breaks. I never felt rushed or bored or tired.
This was a wonderful tour. We saw many, many of New York City's landmarks. Our guide, Tom, was wonderful. Even though we had a cool and cloudy day, this was a great experience and a great way to get a big taste of New York.
Tips: Like they say, wear comfortable walking shoes.
