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

Fun and Informative Tour! - Our tour was an amazing experience! Megan, our guide, was absolutely fantastic. She has an incredible depth of knowledge about New York's history and architecture and presents it in such an engaging way. I now explore the city with a completely new perspective, noticing and appreciating buildings and small details I had overlooked before. Highly recommend—10/10!

Great tour, even for locals!! - Our guide was a pro. Funny, insightful, resourceful, and kind. We're locals who have been in the city for 20 years, and we came with our 14-year-old--a tough crowd, and we still came away very entertained and with a lot of new knowledge. Loved it.

History and architecture buffs - don’t miss this Tribeca walking tour! - Meghan was a fantastic guide. She really brought the history of Tribeca alive and led a very engaging tour. It was a pleasure to hear a fellow history and architecture nerd reveal the area’s hidden back stories. Would highly recommend this tour!
