Great tour - Our guide Jorge did a fabulous job showing us the sites & relating historical facts of interest to us while on our tour. We saw & learned about much more than if we had toured on our own. We highly recommend this tour group…ask for Jorge, he was a lot of fun & had a great personality!

Kevin Lawrence tour guide was fantastic! - We had the pleasure of taking the tour with Kevin Lawrence, I’d say the best tour guide I’ve ever met. Extremely knowledgeable guy, and takes his time to describe in great detail the history of the city, leading up to 9/11, during and the aftermath of that day. I’d highly recommend this tour and if possible try and get Kevin!

Great tour -- past and present - Ray R was a great guide. Very personable and knowledgeable about not only the areas we were touring, but many aspects of NYC in general. Overall this was a great tour -- I loved all the stops we made and the photo opportunities. It covered both historical aspects of NYC as well as more current tidbits about the financial district. Would definitely recommend!
