Fun, Intimate, and Insightful - When we first booked our trip for this tour, we looked forward to an informative and insightful walking tour to learn about midtown Manhattan, perhaps sharing the experience with a handful of other visitors.
We were, of course, delighted to discover that we were the only people on the tour that day. As a result, we got to enjoy two hours of quality and insightful 1:1 time with our guide, Jonathan, as he regaled us with knowledge about the architecture and history of midtown. Jonathan clearly had and has a passion for this region of Manhattan and that was particularly exemplified when we did an end-of-tour walk through the New York Public Library special exhibition at the end of the tour.

Amazing tour with Knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide ! - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour experience . We hope to be able to get into the city again for another tour with Mark. We will look at the city differently on subsequent visits thanks to Mark and the knowledge he passed on to us. It was indeed a pleasure. His enthusiasm and love for this amazing city is contagious! Mark exceeded our expectations! We learned so much and genuinely enjoyed his company. He is a rock star and will have our vote for Mayor should he decide to throw his hat in the ring!

Exploring the Mysteries of Mid-Town Architecture and History - Mark is a wonderful guide -- very knowledgeable and passionate about his subject, but also open to learning from the experiences of those who are on the tour. Loved our spontaneous foray into the Little Church Around the Corner, the NY Public Library, and the mysteries of Atlas! I would definitely recommend Mark and would be happy to go on other tours with him.

Architecture tour - I was blown away with how wonderful this was! I was sure I could enjoy the architecture just walking around in my own. I’m so glad I didn’t. Our guide Katherine was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond answering all our questions. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of nyc. I couldn’t recommend her tours more.
