Excellent small-group tour for those interested in history

Published on May, 2024

A very informative and enjoyable tour. I booked this tour to go with a friend from Oregon. She loved it and even though I'm a long-term New Yorker who has been on lots of walking tours, I learned a lot too. The guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. His binder of historic photos and maps was helpful as well.

Great walking tour of the Financial District

Published on Dec, 2023

Our guide Tom, was awesome, knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Our family were the only participants on the tour and he gave us a little extra time. My English-American nephews were really engaged.

Enjoyable tour

Enjoyed this tour. Learned a lot of the history of NYC. Didn't know it was the first capitol and how much George Washington was here.

Very Nice Tour
