Entering Lower Manhattan, we’ll take a walk through Chinatown. This is one of New York’s oldest and most fascinating neighborhoods, with amazing food and a culture all of its own.
We continue into Little Italy, where Italian immigrants first settled in the city. This neighborhood is full of history and is where the New York Mafia once ruled.

Great afternoon spent with Andrew. Lots of stories and history along with some great pictures. Well worth the money spent.
It was an awesome tour on a beautiful day. Jake was a fabulous tor guide. I learned so much history and viewed many sights. Great day in New York!
Basically a completely scam telling us to reschedule for next day. Than we where a little bit late that day than we ask if can catch up to the guide on the middle of the tour than she told us that we where the only ones on the tour because the other tourist cancelled and that his guide left already. We tried to be comprehensive because they changed our tour the first time when we were coming from NJ all the way to Brooklyn and i will understand if they were other tourists waiting for us but that wasn't the case we were the only ones he was waiting for. So people out there be careful where you give your information because this one it is scam.
This is a great way for us first timers to deep dive into NYC's history, we really enjoyed Angelo's guidance through some of the best spots in town, he really had stories to share whenever curiosity arose. This great walking really feels unique, so bring confortable shoes, snacks and some water too.
Be prepared to walk. Enjoy the amazing sites. Our guide Andrew (good Andrew) gave us an excellant tour of Brooklyn to Manhattan.
I was sending them messages to tell them I was running behind. No one answered me. When I called them, the message said to send them an email or send them a message through viator which is what I was already doing. When I reached the meeting site no one was there. No communication whatsoever from anyone at this tour site and no ability to even reach a real person over the phone.
No communication at all… the tour guide didn’t showed up. Nobody answered and it was a total lost of time. Disrespectful way to handle business. I hope I wouldn’t even book through this platform
I am severely disappointed after this tour. I essentially paid over $50 for a guy to power walk me through the city… silently. It was so awkward. We finished an entire hour early because he rarely stopped or talked. He said he’d been giving tours for 2 years, but I could hardly tell based on his lack of knowledge and enthusiasm. I couldn’t trust anything he said after he told me the Brooklyn Bridge was built in 1890. I did some research prior to this trip and know that it was opened in 1883. It was suspicious that he would lie about that instead of saying “late 1800s” if he didn’t know the exact year. On the rare occasions that he did talk, his speech was jumbled and occasionally unintelligible, like he had never practiced or made a rough script. I want my money back for this absolute waste of money. I recommend just walking around on your own for free.
The tour is good. However, you need to check the weather before booking. I tried to change but it was impossible to reach someone. It was raining a lot that day. The idea of the walking tour is very nice . The tour is a 3 hour walking and the 2 hour statue of liberty is with the ferry that goes to Staten Island (by the way this ferry is free). It don't stop at the statue of liberty only by passes it. The guide was very nice.
Not really sure what we paid for. The guide simply walked us across the bridge and around the streets but didn’t really in part much information He was also ill prepared for my wheelchair although the tour was advertised as accessible and I’d put my wheelchair use on the booking form. We could have done this on our own. I’ve requested a partial refund
