Superb tour! - Jonathan was absolutely great and passionate about the city and it's history. He was very nice, polite, fun and knowledgeable. He definitely knows how to share the history that just keeps one intrigued. Learned lots of tidbits you wouldn't on your own and even more details on things you probably already did. Definitely recommend this tour. Worth the early start, got to many of the landmarks early enough that we had time for great pictures and avoided the crowds.

Fantastic walking tour - I had the pleasure of joining Mr. Davidson for a five-neighbourhood walking tour of New York, and it was one of the highlights of my trip! His deep knowledge of the city's history, culture, and hidden gems made every stop along the way engaging and memorable. He struck the perfect balance between storytelling, facts, and humor—bringing each neighbourhood to life in a way only a passionate local could.
Whether we were strolling through historic streets, sampling local bites, or discovering tucked-away spots, Mr. Davidson made sure everyone felt included and connected to the city's vibrant energy. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience NYC beyond the usual tourist spots!
Thank you, Mr. Davidson, for an unforgettable tour!

Worthwhile walking tour - Very informative and knowledgable guide Covered all the areas we wanted to see
Was easy to find the meeting place
On the downside it felt a little rushed to allow for photos with the size of the group
The end was a little challenging being told this was the end and then no direction to either the nearest subway or bus stop
Overall though this was a very worth while walking tour.

well worth it! - Our tour guide Davidson (from Harlem) was excellent; so knowledgable.
We did a walking tour of the 5 neighbourhoods of South Manhattan. Loads of history and knowledge. The 9/11 bit was particularly interesting, and Davidson was able to answer all our questions.
Thank you for the great tour. well worth doing.

Interesting tour through 5 different neighborhoods - Nice Attraction thanks to Nathan's professionalism and sympathy. It takes a good/excellent knowledge of English to understand it because the speech is quite fast, but he drove us for 4 hours through 5 neighborhoods telling many curiosities.
