Wonderful details on the history of the entire city. - Our guide personalized the tour to our interests and questions, esp since there were only 4 of us. It appeared there was nothing she didn't have knowledge of. She spoke clearly and directly to each of us.

Annabel is great - would book again! - We had a great tour with Annabel! She was so knowledgeable & personable, and she kindly tailored the tour to our interests and pace (and the weather!). She even followed up our tour with an email detailing the specific spots and buildings we visited and answered some of our questions that she couldn't answer on the spot during the tour. Would definitely book another tour with Annabel and/or Manhattan Walking Tours when we come back.

Interesting, informative and enjoyable - This tour was highly informative and enjoyable. I learned how the architecture changed over time, both how and why. Very interesting. The tour guide was enthusiastic, personable and throughly knowledgeable. I had to leave the tour a bit early, due to a business engagement, and the guide followed-up with a personalized email describing to me the rest of the tour. That was certianly above and beyond.

Awesome Experience - We had a private tour with our guide Annabel and she was great. The experience was great as she approached it as a conversation with us and not just spilling out details. Since it was just the my husband and I on the tour she asked us how we wanted to do the tour and if there were specific buildings or details we would like to see and know. Annabel’s friendship with several of employees at the buildings we entered gave us access to information and details that several people would not get if they did not have Annabel as a guide. We had a great time and would definitely do it again and recommend it to anyone who loves architecture and history.

If you like architecture and history, this tour is for you. - Annabel was engaging and informative, with a vast knowledge of NYC architectural history and stories. Throughout the rest of the day we commented on how much we learned and the things we’d have never seen on our own. The pace and the variety of topics suited us well.
