I recently went on vacation to NYC with my fiance and teenage stepdaughter. I have been to NYC many times, and attended college on Long Island, but it was their first time coming to the city. We started our trip off with a 6 hour private walking tour with Dan, from Streetwise Tours.
We elected to do the Streetwise Manhattan tour, which covers some of Central Park, 5th Ave, the Chelsea Highline and Chelsea Market, the Village, and the Lower East Side. At my request, Dan worked in St. Patrick's Cathedral and Grand Central Station. He also worked in a stop by the original Magnolia Bakery for a cupcake.
Dan was prompt, informative, and friendly. We really enjoyed the entire tour, and he took the time afterwards to email me with local restaurant recommendations...and they were pretty good too! I would highly recommend Streetwise Tours to anyone wanting to get away from Midtown and the tourists and see a little bit more of the real Manhattan.

Thanks so much for the kind review. I'm glad you had such a good time and were able to see so much. You were one of the fastest paced groups I've had so you really kept me on my toes and gave me quit a workout on that tour. Now I know what I'm in for the next time I have people show up with their own camel pack of water. Hope those long shifts at sea aren't wearing you guys down too much. -Dan
