A brilliant tour- a must for anyone even vaguely interested in history - A brilliant tour. My husband is a real history buff and loved it. Kevin’s knowledge and historical insights, linking the past to the modern day, were fascinating, it was a real pleasure listening to him. We would absolutely recommend this tour (and Kevin in particular) for anyone with an interest in history. It was the highlight of our trip to NYC, which is saying something! Charlotte and Henry
