Best tour guide! - What can I say? Our tour guide Tom was just the BEST! Intelligent, knowledgeable, engaging, respectful of all tour members (some with limited physical ability), and seriously FUNNY! You have to do this tour. Just the right amount of time to get a fabulous overview of the city, and with the bus picking you up to take you to the furthest points, it was perfectly calibrated. Thoroughly recommend this tour, and especially doing it with Tom if you can.

A great day, a fab tour, a wonderful city! - Our tour guide Jim was very personable, easy to talk to and ask questions of, and very knowledgable. As a wheelchair user I found this tour perfect - Jim was able to show us so many wonderful buildings that we would never have noticed and adapted the tour to account for all the wheelchair ramps and entrances to buildings/ferry/subway that I needed. I did not feel once that being in a wheelchair on the tour was an inconvenience and will be recommending this tour and company to many Wheelchair user friends who were asking about my NY experience. It was a long day but oh so worth it! Thank you Experience First, and thank you Jim!

A great tour! - A fabulous tour! Jim was our guide and he had so much knowledge to impart! I am a wheelchair user and confirmed with Experience First that this tour was wheelchair accessible. Although Jim wasn’t made aware in advance I was in a wheelchair it didn’t phase him and he made sure wherever we went we used the wheelchair entrances. We saw everything we wanted to see, had a great lunch of pizza, and all in all, a fantastic day! Thank you Jim, you were the perfect tour guide!

Fun and Informative - Highly recommended!! John Bow was informative and fun. He engaged with all of us individually in an age appropriate manner, kept the group on time and focused on what our tour was about. Very knowledgeable and fun. Be ready to walk quickly but plenty of stops to take in the sites.

Excellent and fun! - It was our first trip to NYC and the tour was great. What made it perfect was our guide, John Bow. He was so good to answer any question, make recommendations, and even taught us how to use the subway. He brought his obvious passion for the city into his tour in addition to a deep knowledge of both its history and contemporary ongoings.

Highly recommend - My daughter and I came on BAM bus tour out of KY and with it just being the two of us I wanted to book us a tour. I am so glad I found the 6 hour walking tour led by Jenn Andres she was truly AMAZING. We seen everything on our list and at the end Jenn walked us back to the subway and helped us get to where we needed to go. The tour itself was WORTH it. I highly recommend!

See NYC - This is the best way to see the City! It made us more comfortable knowing we were wondering around the city with someone who knew what they were doing. Cale was an awesome guide. He was knowledgeable and funny. We highly recommend this tour.
