Step into the time machine and journey back to the electrifying era of the 1920s. Your guide will vividly paint a picture of the past, taking you through Lower East Side bars that clandestinely operated as speakeasies during the Prohibition period, as well as other concealed watering holes. Indulge in intoxicating amusement as you delve into this intriguing period in US history. See the transformation of a former second-floor bank, notorious for its corrupt gangster operators.

Saved our group's night! - Myself and a group had been waiting for another tour company that ended up being a no show and we luckily ran into Aaron! He kindly let us join his tour in the middle of it and ended up saving our night. We had so much fun and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us a history of prohibition relative to the area and places we visited and even had pictures to go along with the story. We all highly recommend taking his tour! :)

Waste of time, no tour guide turned up!! - What was most memorable was that no one turned up to take the tour!! We waited for an hour at the meeting point, what a complete waste of time. We were essentially conned out of our money. DONT DO THIS TOUR!!!
