A Historical Speakeasy Adventure!

We had a great time with Arielle! She was very friendly and provided us with an entertaining and comfortable experience. She was also able to answer any and all questions we had about the city or its history. The price was reasonable and we definitely got what we paid for. The entire experience was about 3 hours long, from 4-7pm, and we walked throughout the city. Most speakeasies were not too crowded and had a very upbeat atmosphere. We were celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday and he loved the history Arielle provided along the way! I would definitely recommend it!

Exceptional

I can’t recommend Arielle’s New York Speakeasy Tour enough—she is an absolute gem. From the moment the tour began, her energy, knowledge, and genuine passion for the city’s hidden history completely drew us in. She didn’t just guide us to incredible, tucked-away spots—we felt like we were stepping back in time, uncovering stories and secrets we never would have found on our own. Arielle has this rare ability to make every guest feel included and engaged. Her storytelling is vivid, entertaining, and full of fascinating details about Prohibition-era New York, all while keeping things fun and relaxed. Each speakeasy we visited had its own unique vibe, and her thoughtful curation made the whole experience feel seamless and special. What really stood out was how much she clearly loves what she does—it shows in every interaction, every story, and every recommendation. By the end of the night, it didn’t feel like a tour anymore; it felt like we’d spent the evening exploring the city with a knowledgeable (and very cool) friend. If you’re looking for a memorable, immersive, and genuinely fun way to experience New York’s nightlife and history, Arielle’s tour is an absolute must.
