Great tour with a fantastic guide Trip was extremely well organised with a good balance of activities and free time. The guide, Marc, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The trip ran well and the group was lovely - would recommend it! The local guide, Julie, was excellent too!
This tour is a fabulous way to get to grips with the immigrant origins of New York and America as well as the present day sights and sounds of the lower east side!
On a recent visit to New York, I booked two tours with this operator. The first, "Tenements, Tales, and Tastes", was with David on the morning of the first day in NYC. It was a really special introduction to the city that I was about to spend four days exploring. We toured the neighbourhoods where NYC started, sampling delicious food along the way. It was fun, informative, all the things the best tours should be. Highly recommended. The second, the "Craft Cocktail" tour in the East Village was with Joshua, and on my final night in town. I was joined on the tour by two New York locals, so I guess that goes to show how valuable the knowledge of the guide can be! We visited three bars, enjoyed cocktails and delicious snacks and heard fascinating stories about prohibition and NYC bar culture. Also a great tour. Many thanks to both Dave and Josh for their friendly and professional service, and for sharing their enthusiasm for their city.
