Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Earl was a fastic guide. Wandering the streets of little Italy and Chinatown, his tour was full of local history and amazing food. Food, that we simply, would never have found on our own. With his great knowledge and tips for the rest of our stay in New York City, I simply can't recommend Earl, and his tour enough."
"Earl was amazing! He has an in-depth knowledge of the city and the best historical establishments to both taste and learn about! We loved it and next time we're in NYC, we will go again with him! "
"Laura's guided tour of New York City was an outstanding success, leaving an indelible mark on both of our clients. Her dedication to providing a memorable and enriching experience is a testament to her skills as a tour guide. As a travel agent we will always keep in touch with future guests, and for anyone seeking to explore the wonders of New York City, under Laura's expert guidance. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again! Chevy S. Noratli"
"My daughter and I had a wonderful time exploring Chinatown and Little Italy with this very personable and knowledgeable guide. Earl was perfect - he gave us much insight into the history of the areas we visited and engaged in discussion about so many things. There was not one dull moment! I would highly recommend having Earl show you around - even though I have lived in the City previously I learned so much! Thank you Earl! "
"Jordan guided us through a deep dive into the West Village and its history as a completely singular neighborhood (*his* neighborhood!). We got the granular details as well as big picture context (northward movement of the wealthy, deliberate architectural changes to buildings to attract artists--imagine that happening today!--the role of neighborhood activists, and the rural past explaining the ungridlike configuration of many streets). He was kind enough to incorporate a couple of midtown things I'd requested, a particular mural in Grand Central, and the glorious Chrysler Building, before delivering us to the madhouse of the theater district for our matinee. The tour was over too soon--highly recommended!"
