My husband and I took our grandson who is studying architecture on Jeremy’s tour. Jeremy is very knowledgeable and passionate about the buildings on the tour. Our grandson was very impressed by the information provided on the tour. We would highly recommend the tour with Jeremy.
Very well organized and interesting. Jeremy our tour guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant! Well worth it!!
I took the Art Deco tour on a beautiful spring morning. The building looks amazing in the sunlight as Jeremy explained the history and style of Art Deco in New York City. We saw some of the greatest skyscrapers from the 1920s and 1930s, including the Chanin Building, the Chrysler Building, and the General Electric Building. Jeremy’s narrative was interesting and compelling, the pace was comfortable, and his supplemental images were very useful. I am a art and architectural historian, but I still learned so much and saw many details I had overlooked. Highly recommended!
Jeremy was a wonderful tour guide that pointed out amazing details about the art deco era in architecture and the many buildings in NYC that were built and have remained for years. The Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building , Rockefeller Plaza. Jeremy points out the detail of these buildings that you might have never seen as you have visited in the past .
Jeremy has a great knowledge of the NY Art Deco architecture. We learned about the thinking of owners, architects and builders and how they reflected the times between the two world wars. We also considered the building’s budgets and the sources of the building materials. The tour moved fast and covered a lot of ground. We had a great time, highly recommended.
Thanks for your review!
Jeremy’s Art Deco tour in Midtown was incredible. He is so knowledgeable, full of interesting anecdotes and organized. We breezed from one fascinating location to the next - many of which were true hidden gems. Highly recommend Jeremy and this tour.
I am a history enthusiast and lover of all things Art Deco. Getting to do a tour of iconic landmarks in Midtown Manhattan with an experienced and knowledgeable guide (Jeremy) was wonderful. Not only did Jeremy discuss the big ones (Chrysler Building, Empire State), but he also talked about some of the lesser known buildings and the history of the style. Getting to go inside some of these buildings was an amazing experience, like stepping back in time. Jeremy was also able to answer my questions about some non-Art Deco buildings!
Our guide Jeremy was excellent: patient and very informative. We were given access to buildings that were a visual treat and never imagined we would be able to visit. This is a tour we would gladly go on again.
Thanks for the review, and for joining our architecture tour!
Absolutely amazing tour! It was the highlight my NYC trip. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly & very receptive to questions. HIGHLY recommended!!
The Art Deco tour was first-rate! Our guide, Jeremy, provided a fascinating two hours, seeing the buildings in a new way and visiting interiors that we would have missed on our own. His depth of knowledge was excellent, giving us the needed context and answering any questions we had with full explanations. I couldn’t recommend this tour and guide more!
