Annabel is great - would book again! - We had a great tour with Annabel! She was so knowledgeable & personable, and she kindly tailored the tour to our interests and pace (and the weather!). She even followed up our tour with an email detailing the specific spots and buildings we visited and answered some of our questions that she couldn't answer on the spot during the tour. Would definitely book another tour with Annabel and/or Manhattan Walking Tours when we come back.

Interesting, informative and enjoyable - This tour was highly informative and enjoyable. I learned how the architecture changed over time, both how and why. Very interesting. The tour guide was enthusiastic, personable and throughly knowledgeable. I had to leave the tour a bit early, due to a business engagement, and the guide followed-up with a personalized email describing to me the rest of the tour. That was certianly above and beyond.

Awesome Experience - We had a private tour with our guide Annabel and she was great. The experience was great as she approached it as a conversation with us and not just spilling out details. Since it was just the my husband and I on the tour she asked us how we wanted to do the tour and if there were specific buildings or details we would like to see and know. Annabel’s friendship with several of employees at the buildings we entered gave us access to information and details that several people would not get if they did not have Annabel as a guide. We had a great time and would definitely do it again and recommend it to anyone who loves architecture and history.

If you like architecture and history, this tour is for you. - Annabel was engaging and informative, with a vast knowledge of NYC architectural history and stories. Throughout the rest of the day we commented on how much we learned and the things we’d have never seen on our own. The pace and the variety of topics suited us well.

Midtown Manhattan's architectural tour - Annabel Alafriz was an amazing tour guide of the architectural history of midtown Manhattan! She was a Very knowledgeable local guide that shared the history of the different styles of architecture in the city from late 1800's to present. We thoroughly enjoyed having her as our guide and we had great discussions with her. And her willingness to be out on a cold winter morning and giving us opportunities to warm up inside buildings was a bonus!

A pleasure, better than expected. - Our guide, Anabel, was such a pleasure, very informative, knowledgeable, and was able to draw in the younger members of the group who commented that it was better than they expected.

Worth It!!! - Annabel was very informative and had a tremendous amount of knowledge about the buildings and New York in general. She customized the tour for our tastes and brought us into many beautiful buildings. I would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent - Excellent tour and great insight to the architecture of Manhattan. The detailed information INSIDE the buildings was extraordinary
