Very informative and highly recommended.
Christopher_H, Mar 2024
Excellent and informative day. Lots of walking (about 5km), but that was expected. There were breaks, including an hour for lunch. Our guide (Cale) was very good. Our group size was 13, but we got lots of opportunities to ask questions and take photos. We are Canadians and used to the very cold, but we did not dress appropriately. March can be cool and windy and being near the ocean raises the humidity, which makes it feeluch cooler.
Hits the highlights
Leann_C, Mar 2024
Full day of walking and standing. I enjoyed the aspect of hitting all the highlights in one day. My teenagers were totally done by the end of tour and were not even interested in the observatory because they were exhausted and rushed. They did not like how we kept moving and didn't really look at anything more than 10 minutes. Other couples enjoyed seeing it all and then deciding what to do back and focus on later. Overall, I recommend for adults, but not families traveling.
Amazing tour for first time visitors!
Angelia_W, Mar 2024
I can’t express enough how AMAZING this tour was! Lindsey was VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE and answered every question we had, even when it didn’t relate to the tour. I highly encourage those who are visiting New York for the first time to book this tour. This was also our first time using this app. We had no issues! Will definitely use this app again! Thanks!
It was amazing!
Krystal_K, Mar 2024
The Ferry ride! The St. Patrick's cathedral was mind blowing! The architecture of all the different buildings was really cool.
First time in NYC….loved...
Thomas_M, Mar 2024
First time in NYC….loved that I could see many sites. Dan was very knowledgeable and good natured. I feel the all group really enjoyed their time with him.
Great walking tour to hit the highlights
DGESSLER, Mar 2024
Lindsey made our experience memorable, an exceptional tour guide, She was very knowledgeable and approachable. She gave tips on how to make the most of our stay in NYC. The tour itself hits the highlights with a little history thrown in. Great tour for a 1 day stop over to see and experience NYC. It’s also a great tour to start with if you have longer and can use it to return to places you may want to go back to. I will definitely take this tour again if I’m back with someone who hasn’t been before. Lindsey definitely needs a new flag tho, it rained all day and the poor little droopy thing was difficult to see. Definitely not a good advertisement for the company.
Totally recommend - especially with Cale.
Lorna_P, Feb 2024
Cale was our host. Knowledgeable and easy going. Totally recommend a tour if you’re first timers to NYC. Our day was filled with lots of landmarks and visits as well as photos! Awesome!

Dan was a fantastic guide! He shared lots of historical context to buildings, views, and sights. He was funny, easy-going, alert, and detailed. He was sensitive to the needs of everyone in the group and gave an excellent tour! I also appreciated getting a feel for Manhattan, the subway, and orientation of where things were. I would 100% recommend this tour again.
