Fantastic tour! The guide was extraordinary! He was so knowledgeable, patient and kind. We learned so much about the history of the area. I cant say enough wonderful things about this tour.
Jus what we wanted entertaining, educational, and comprehensive. Liz did a terrific job. Recommend booking this tour. Thank you Liz.
We had a great tour! Loved that it was a nice small group and we were able to go and see all of the sites. Our guide Liz did a great job taking us through all of the sites and sharing all of the great info on each place. Perfect start to our time in NYC.
Great tour to start off our weekend. Liz our guide was awesome, we lucked out and it was a small group so we got to ask any and all questions we had along the way. Saw all of the sights as we made our way through the downtown area. Liz made sure to take time to explain all of the areas of the tour and I appreciated her expertise as a guide. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a quick tour that covers a lot of great history and sights.
We had a great experience. Our tour guide was fun and very knowledgeable. She told us stories and interesting facts about the places we visited.
Had a great tour with Patrick. We had the Sunday morning tour and it was just the 3 of us (kids are 9 and 12). He kept everyone engaged, showing us historical points of interest, the 9-11 memorial, stock exchange, etc. He did a good job relating to the kids and asking them questions. Highly recommended!
He did an amazing job at explaining everything around and was very helpful. It was a very long walk but really interesting.
Enjoyed our tour, it was just the 3 of us. Patrick our guide was knowledgeable and full of downtown history.
Joel our guide was knowledgeable, interesting, friendly and personable. It was truly a private tour as there were just three of us. We toured the statue of liberty, Ellis Island and visited Trinity church, Alexander Hamilton gravesite, Wall st and ended witb the somber 911 memorial. Along the way Joel provided historical information. The tour lasted about five hours and we never felt rushed. We were unable to licate the meeting point but a phonecall to the company provided directions and they stayed with us on the phone until we met our contact. Well done.
Our family of three were the only ones in the terrific downtown tour given by Rory, a British theater director who knows his history and delivers it well. He tailored it our interests and added some stories specifically to interest our 10-year-old. Lots of interesting landmarks and history that we would not have discovered on our own. Highly recommended. (And we found out that he also gives a superhero tour of NYC, so if we come back we'll definitely do that!)
