Ride the subway with Rayn! Highly Recommend! - Rayn - was amazing! He was excellent at meeting all of us where we were in subway knowledge - some advanced, some beginner. He was also great at making the tour seem like just a day with friends where you learn along the way. It did not seem overly rehearsed or planned but he kept us always entertained. He also had a great itinerary that kept it moving while still being flexible and not rushing us along.
Would recommend to anyone! Especially "FOAMERS"

10/10 Experience - I organized a surprise tour for my husband and his friends. Rayn absolutely killed it. These guys had the best time. Rayn was exceptional in coordinating with me ahead of time, not only on timing and locations, but also in accommodating some special requests I had (stop into a bar for a round of beers midway…)
Rayn was very responsive and the guys said the tour was both extremely informative and fun. 10/10 would recommend Rayn.
I’ll mention that we’re all New Yorkers who know a fair amount about transit, so the bar was high and Rayn delivered.

A Joyful New York Experience - Rayn was the kindest, calmest, and most knowledgeable tour guide as we went through the highlights of the Brooklyn subway. He was super encouraging to the subway enthusiasts on the trip (including my teenage son). I felt like we were on a birding expedition with an expert ornithologist. I loved that he also shared what it was like to work for the MTA and what it’s like now to work as an urban planner. It was also easy to hear, since he had earpieces for all of us.

Unique & cool - Very cool tour - Rayn is clearly super knowledgeable and shares lots of great information and little known gems. He took advantage of some opportunities that presented themselves (doors that perhaps shouldn’t have been open?) and we got to have some unique experiences and took some amazing pics. Highly recommend.

Perfect for rail fans! - Rayn is incredible! My son has been passionate about transit since before he could talk, and this is the first time I met someone who could teach him so much that he didn’t already know about the NYC subway. It’s clear that Rayn is passionate about the subway and loves sharing his knowledge with others. My son and I often take trains for 4-6 hours at a time just for fun, and Rayn pointed out so many details that we’ve never noticed. He knows how the system works, the history, what’s coming next, everything. Highly recommend it.
