AWESOME - Tour Noir was an absolute blast! The tour masterfully blends NYC history with a bit of comedy, romance and suspense. The guide, Jason, is an absolute treasure! He is incredibly knowledgeable about all things NYC, and is equal parts hilarious and charming.

Best Tour in NYC - I recently traveled to NYC with my 9 year old son and wanted him to see as many of the awesome New York tourist sites as possible. After exploring several different travel sites and tour guide ads, we decided to go on the Tour Noir: A Dame To Guide For. It seemed different than all the other tours because it not only was going to take us to tons of different downtown sites, it included a very entertaining and hilarious show. The main tour guide, Jason, was an encyclopedia of historical information for all the downtown landmarks. We learned so much. I felt like I was on a History Channel TV show. What made it even better was that the entire tour took place with Jason having on ongoing back and forth with an "ex" that just happened to show up for the tour. Was it planned? Was it an accident? What did she want? What were her intentions? Who knew---but it was funny and entertaining. They traded amusing quips all tour long until a big final conclusion, which I will not give away. Without any spoilers, i will say it was funny and made the entire tour a unique experience I would gladly go on again. Well done! The entire cast and script was excellent. The guides were all very friendly and engaging. My son loved it and wants to go back. Thanks for a great time. I will highly recommend to all my friends visiting NY. A MUST SEE and DO!

Great experience - As a native New Yorker, this gave me a whole new perspective on the city. Having done a bit of traveling around Europe and going on a number of tours, this was by far the best tour I have ever been on.
Jason and his team do a wonderful job of providing a high quality tour experience while treating the group to an engaging and interactive play throughout. I highly recommend this tour to anybody interested in learning a little bit more about the vast and intricate history New York City holds.

Live Theater and a Tour All-in-One! - Jason and Robin were amazing hosts through lower Manhattan! They had great chemistry together and really got my whole group involved in their act, while still being able to give us a great tour of the city! Time flew by as we walked throughout Wall Street, Chinatown, and Little Italy. I would definitely do this tour again!
