A must do in Manhattan - What a wonderful experience! We visited 3 lovely bars that served a wide variety of super tasty cocktails. Our walking tour was made extra special by our host, Ryan. Ryan was extremely friendly and knowledgeable! He provided an enjoyable experience and we learned quite a few things! Trust me if you are in NYC do this tour!

Kate was awesome! - What a great experience…we went to bars/speakeasies that we never would have known about (or walked right by) if we weren’t on a tour! Our guide, Kate, was awesome! She was friendly and knowledgeable and told great stories! She kept us moving and on schedule. I would definitely do this again!

A Fun Experience! - What a fun tour! We visited 3 Speakeasy’s you wouldn’t know were there! As they say, hidden in plain sight! Arielle, our tour guide, was a lot of fun and gave us great stories about each place! It was also nice getting a drink at taxi place and being able to get to know the fellow participants!

The guide made it extra-special - Sarah was an exceptionally energetic and knowledgeable guide who enriched our experience in discovering old speakeasy’s. We were especially thrilled to engage with a great group of people of all ages from several countries. The drinks were creative and delicious, too.

Lillie and the lady Texan - Loved Lillies and the history of the Flute. Hearing about woman doing so well in business during a time men controlled them

A Must Do Experience! - Kate was a great tour guide, giving us a mixture of history and local must see tips. She made sure everyone in the group was included and all had opportunity to ask questions throughout the tour. The speakeasy locations were all unique and very trendy. They were not touristy so gave a great look into true New York culture. Definitely a must do experience in NYC!

A Great NYC evening - Great way to spend a Friday evening. We went to places that we would never have gone to on our own. Drinks were pricey, as noted in other reviews, but different and enjoyable.. Jenna was a great tour guide. She was happy, entertaining, full of knowledge / history and happy to answer all of our questions and give us ideas for other places.

Horrible tour and experience but a good guide. - The guide was good but the tour was not good at all. Horrible selection of places to go and not worth the cost of a ticket for what you get for your experience. There are so many other better places to go.
