Just a guide to have and just a tour to take - One of the best guided tours we’ve ever had was the one around the Five Neighborhoods in Downtown Manhattan in May this year with Nathan, our NYC guide. He was waiting at the meeting point before us with a flag and an easy smile. The tour was fascinating, but with Nathan’s commentary added, it was a truly enlightening experience. We learnt historical facts and laughed at stories thrown easily by Nathan at each corner. His deep knowledge of NYC, rooted in his love for the city, was evident at every step. History combined with contemporary, horrors with laughter, sights with smells, all in one😊 Nathan is a New Yorker through and through (as we see them): witty, thorough, intelligent, and kind. Just a guide to have and just a tour to take 😊
