Highly Recommend the Private Personalized Tour - Edward was amazing! We booked an 8 hour private tour and got to visit all the sites on our list. Edward was a wealth of knowledge and a native New Yorker who knew the secret ins and outs of the city. With him as our guide we traveled via subway and bus and had a fantastic time. Thanks Edward for everything!

Make sure you got your walking shoes on …. - This guided tour was great. Bill showed us what we wanted to see and a lot of things we didn’t know we needed do see. One thing though - didn’t think that there would be as much walking (knew there would be some, but not the 10+ klm), and it was so very cool that he changed his plans and we ended up at World Trade Centre. Muchly appreciated ….

Great day seeing NY - Maurita of City unscripted showed us New York south of 23rd West street. She has been an excellent guide, very knowledgable of the local areas, Wall Street area, China Town, little Italy, Brooklyn Bridge, Greenwich, West Village. We truly enjoyed her company and historic knowledge. Highly recommended.

Great Nightlife tour! - Maurita was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. She knows the City well. We had fun going to many great bars and clubs. She took us to many places we would not have found. She also listened to our desires and found us some great Jazz Bands. This tour is well worth it!

Best way to try NYC foods - We had an amazing tour with Maurita. We started at the auburn Square farmers market and then traveled to historical stops and the best restaurants. All carefully planned and informative. Each stop was awesome and places I would never know to go otherwise. Maurita was friendly, informed and we enjoyed spending the afternoon with her. Highly recommend!!

Walking tour of New York. - Maurita, took us on a wonderful 8hr walking tour of New York City. It didn't get off to a good start as she was late due to the vagaries of New York trains but she soon warmed up. She took the trouble to take 10 minutes at our hotel with us to plan what we would particularly like to see and then modified her planned route accordingly. We took the subway to Battery Park at the south tip of Manhattan and then walked from there to Wall Street, the World Trade Center memorial, the Brooklyn Bridge, NYPD 1 Police Precinct, Chinatown for lunch, Little Italy and Greenwich Village for a cocktail. She then pointed us in the right direction to visit the Empire State Building on our own and took her leave at 7pm. She was very knowledgeable about the various site and of NY in general and we all greatly enjoyed the tour.
