Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you so much for the great review, it was really great taking you guys around and I hope to see you again!
Wow… fabulous tour!
Roy_B, Apr 2024
We were the only two people on this tour so felt really privileged! Our guide was fantastic. His knowledge of the city is amazing. He showed us the most amazing art work that we would never have seen on our own.. it was better than any of the art exhibitions we had been to during our stay! Everything is brought to life by the great resources he has. This was our 7th time in NYC and we saw so many things we never knew existed. We can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Thank you so much!

A tour to remember
Michelle_S, Jan 2024
The perfect way to tour Midtown Manhattan on a snowy winter day. A unique tour through the tunnels and public spaces connecting a couple centuries of architectural design and artwork. Rob has done his research and shared his expertise about the history of Manhattan. Very fun and educational.
Response from Host, Feb 2024

Great tour

We absolutely loved this tour. Rob was extremely knowledgeable and we couldn’t have learned more! Probably know more than most New Yorkers now!

Dean B, Nov 2017
VERY unique tour with the underground halls and above-ground atriums. Numerous art displays, and excellent quick-history backstory on new, landmark, and previous no longer existing buildings, along with existing 18th and 19th century hold-outs, former mansions of the past. Our guide, Rob, was knowledgeable and amiable. He was conscientious about the pace of the walking and restroom breaks--this isn't his first rodeo! His research was much appreciated. Bravo.
Guide was very friendly...
Hilary R, Mar 2017
Guide was very friendly, personalized experience. President's Day caused most of the underground privately-owned portions of the tour to be closed and thus inaccessible. However, our guide gave us the option to continue with a slight variation of the tour and we were so glad we did! Lots of lesser-known places we'll want to spend more time in on repeat trips.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Rob...
Brooke Y, Jan 2017
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Rob was a very knowledgeable and personable guide! It was so great to go off the beaten track in midtown! He introduced me to so many hidden gems and had some great stories and information to share on the history and planning of the city. As a town planner and student architect, I thought this tour was awesome and would highly recommend it to other built environment junkies!
