Great tour!!! - Rory was an awesome tour guide. So much interesting history about both nyc and Chelsea Market (and the meat packing district.) Not to mention a great British accent that makes listening to him a pleasure. Lots of funny comments about “those Brits” —in nyc history —the scoundrels!

EXCEPTIONAL the guide Gabi was extraordinary! At every step Gabi told us the history of New York. 10* stars Gabi - Gabi is a fabulous guide. She knew how to mix the history of the neighborhood with the history of New York with a knowledge of dates and events which kept us in suspense throughout the two hours! Gabi is exceptional. We felt his desire to transmit the history of NY. We finished on the Little Island opposite. Honestly, I would have taken it for our 6-day stay!🤩

Short, informative and fun - We are a family of 4 with teens. We wanted a tour that would give us more information/ history about the area while not being too boring (for our kids). This tour met our expectations. Our guide was young, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She told funny stories along the way.

Great tour - Amazing trip…Gabi was informative and provided us with interesting information about the area. We got to stop and try the amazing coffee at the Chelsea market as well as ended up eating pizza at the Artichoke Pizza place nearby…worth a try! Highly recommend.

Very Wet But Still a Good Tour - Cicela our tour guide was very good and despite the wet weather we enjoyed ourselves, there wasn’t to much walking and we visited a bit of Manhattan we had not been to before. We would recommend this short tour
