Cale was a fantastic tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and very entertaining. Delivery is everything when giving history:) We were staying in Hell's Kitchen so it was a great way to feel more connected and discover the rich history there. Plus the food choices were stellar. All round a wonderful experience. Can't recommend it more!!
