Wonderful tour! - This was really one of the best walking tour we've ever taken part. I'm serious. It was complete, interesting, lively, satisfying. The guide, Meghan, was professional and passionate: she made the neighbourhood become alive for us. Tribeca is a beautiful and interesting place but, without the guide, I don't think we would have been able to appreciate it as it deserves. Thank you Meghan and thank you Metro Tours. Highly recommended.

A+ experience, highly recommend - Meghan was a wonderful tour guide. So much interesting information—and delivered w lots humor and wit. It was also 100 degrees and sunny that day, and she did a great job giving the tour while maximizing shade, air conditioning, and sitting. Highly recommend, 5 stars.

Tribeca 101 - Megan did a great job of the tour. Engaging, welcoming personality. Pace was good; there were opportunities to ask questions; explanations at the various points of interest were clear. All that I needed for an intro to Tribeca. Recommended.

Very interesting and fun tour of Tribeca area - We enjoyed our tour with our guide Meghan Sara. She was very energetic and adjustable especially since we had very cold and windy weather. She explained the history from the start of the area and some of the uniqueness of the area. She also provided us suggestions for the rest of the day - and we stopped at lovely coffee spots. Thank you

She has an incredible depth of knowledge about New York's history and architecture and presents it in such an engaging way.
