Mandy Edgecomb is the best historic, anthropologic guide in the United States. Bar None. Her passion and enthusiasm for her tour re the Dutch history, and it’s influence, on the development of NYC, and by default, the world is beyond contagious. If you’re in NYC and looking for a walking tour, you have not lived a full life if you don’t take this tour with her. Mandy, is, in a word, superb. This tour gives you an adept understanding of the early development of the island of Manhattan and how it got to where it is today. It is the best two hour history tour one can have. We took this as a private tour with Mandy in late November and had a wonderful 2 plus hours with her. If everyone was as enthusiastic as she is about her job and interest in the world around us we would all be better off.
