Very informative

SimoneWetton_w, Apr 2024

Luke our guide was amazing and super knowledgable. The tour was informative and gave us time to survey our surroundings and also gave us time to buy things along the way!

a little disappointed in the information shared

Patricia_O, Mar 2024

Our tour guide, Connor, was very personable, however we were hoping for some more factual information about architecture and history. The stories shared were a bit long winded (ie the well in the basement of the federalist style building). A quicker story would have allowed for more information on other spots. Connor shared with us that it was his first time doing this particular trip so I would assume he was given the script so we did not hold him responsible. The ipad used to share some historical photos was cracked and difficult to see. The tour exposed us to new neighborhoods, however information was lacking.

Thanks Josh - very informative

Diana, Sep 2023

Very interesting - glad to find out more information about Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown. Thanks Josh

A local’s perspective of NYC

Kelly_S, Oct 2022

There were so many but I think to be shown an incredible dumpling restaurant that would otherwise be disregarded was priceless. Elle was so warm and enthusiastic which made each detail of NYC so interesting!

Seeing the city through history

Judith_M, Oct 2022

Buddhist temple, new streets and restaurants, beautiful day to walk thru city streets. Learning about the evolution of neighborhoods thru financial forces, immigration, & cultural and artistic influences.

Very enjoyable

Daniel_K, Oct 2022

It was fun learning about the history of the neighborhoods and how they continue to evolve today. Alex is a great guide. He obviously loves his adopted city. Having traveled all the way from Detroit, we enjoyed joining the others from Germany, England and Italy.

Great tour

vsmith01, Jul 2022

It was an Okay trip! Probably should find more shade for tourists when stopping to listen to tour guide, as it was very hot that day. No real stops in China town, which I figured there would be. No bathrooms on route and when we got to the end where there was a bathroom, well I definitely don't recommend that at all. Gross! Disappointed that there weren't that many stops in either place, but I guess that's why it's a walking tour. Wear sneakers, that's for sure.
