Latest reviews from our guests

We really enjoyed Ed our tour guide as he was full of historical information about the city. He seemed to intuitively know where to take us to get an overview of the city and become familiar with transportation options. We on a walking tour and used the subway at times that were important. I would highly recommend.

Ross was very diligent in ensuring our meeting place and time. He went above and beyond in being sure we saw everything we wanted to see and managed our tour so we ended it near our lunch restaurant. He could not have done better!

We had such a great experience discovering the gorgeous Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO. This is our annual girls weekend to city and have explored so much in the past so we were looking for a unique tour, something new, and this was awesome. Our guide, Olga, was very knowledgeable, interesting, and adapted to our interests. Would highly recommend her as a tour guide in NYC!

Michael was a great guide! It was so nice having a private guide instead of being in a large group. He showed us so many great places, many of which didn’t have the heavy crowds that some of the other classic tourist places have. The highlight was going to the Jodo temple and seeing a ceremony in progress. Oh, we loved the sushi restaurant also!!

Kyoko was an excellent guide. She is very knowledgeable and helpful regarding Tokyo culture, especially fashion and pop culture.

Katie was a wonderful guide and made sure our private walking tour was tailored to our interests with plenty of communication leading up to our visit. She was able to provide so much information at all our stops! We really enjoyed the samurai district and museum (the garden here is exquisite!), plus the geisha/geiko districts we walked through. Both areas were beautiful with carefully curated houses and gardens - what we had always imagined a traditional Japanese village would look like! We also visited a gold leaf making demonstration in a gold leaf shop and saw a most spectacular gold leaf lined walls in the toilet entry area!! She helped us navigate our own way back to our accommodation after she left! Highly recommend Katie as your guide!
