Having no previous knowledge of NYC, I booked a 6 hour walking tour with Dan in August. My daughter is going to college in NYC, so I booked a tour for her, her mother, and me. Best investment I've made on our trip. We're still talking about the tour, and how helpful it was. In a short amount of time, Dan is VERY knowledgeable and was able to show us all the hotspots unique to our experience. Not just the tourist attractions, but real-life tips and places that every new New Yorker should know. I can not recommend this tour enough. You'll be glad you did it. Just bring some good walking shoes and be ready to hustle. Even though it was 6 hours, it went by very quickly. (We're from LA, where nobody walks- so if we can do it, so can you). Now we're all hopping around NYC like old pros. Even our friends there are impressed with how quickly we acclimated. BTW, my LA LA Land daughter is now thriving in NYC and loves it. Thank you so much for this experience.
