I joined Ivan's incredibly engaging tour of the Financial District on Saturday, February 15th. It was an amazing experience, in which the history of New York from its early days to the modern era was told through the evolution of the area's architecture. Ivan was great, and always eager to answer questions and engage with the group. Would absolutely recommend the tour!

My father studied architecture at Princeton. Growing up in Australia I first saw NYC through his eyes. Many decades later the magic of my father’s lens was reignited by Ivan with a magical and insightful tour of downtown NYC. Ivan’s knowledge, passion and charm was a highlight of our time in this city like no other. Highly recommended.
