Informative tour - Annabel was a knowledgeable and engaging guide. The tour allowed us to see both outside and inside a number of architecturally and historically important buildings in midtown Manhattan. We recommend for those looking to learn something while sightseeing!

An exceptional and enjoyable tour. - Our tour guide Annabel delivered an highly engaging and first class history lesson in a series of fantastic locations. The information flowed beautifully and was entirely accessible. Whether or not you have an interest in Architecture, this tour delivers a great sense of New York City. It rained a little during our trip but we weren’t outdoors all the time and the terrain was easy and the pace was comfortable. And there were good restrooms and coffee stops on route. We highly recommend the tour and Annabel as your guide. We took the tour Saturday 5 April. Peter

Architectural walking tour - Very informative tour. Annabel was very knowledgeable about the history, evolution of the city thru the years and the architecture. It gave us the opportunity to see the city in a different lens. Definitely recommended.

Best tour ever - This tour was one of my very best experiences in NYC and probably the best tour I have ever experienced in many years of worldwide travel. Annabel is so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and personable. Having experience as a tour guide myself, I recognise an outstanding tour guide when I see one. Annabel is absolutely top notch. The pace of the tour was just right - many important and impressive buildings were visited and discussed in detail. I especially appreciated being able to go inside many of the buildings. The communication pre and post booking was also exemplary - informational helpful and personal. Thank you Alex and Annabel! I cannot imagine a better tour company in NYC, or anywhere else for that matter. (I also did the High Line tour, same comments apply!)

Great to learn more about Manhattan - The tour was great and very insightful about Manhattan architecture and history. Our guide was very mindful of the group and the weather and adapted the route to make sure we stayed warm enough. Loved it and absolutely recommend if you’d like to know more about how Manhattan has become what it is now.

An amazing experience for those who know NYC and those who don’t - Our guide Annabel was truly amazing. She took the time to learn about us, our level of knowledge about NYC and our interests in learning about the architecture. Her tour was engaging and tailored to our interests. We live in NJ and have been to NYC many times. My husband worked on Park Ave for 7 years. We learned things about places we passed many times and knew nothing about. I recommend this tour to those who think the know about the city as well as first time travelers. Annabel is sure to make it a worthwhile adventure.
