Reviews of Our New York Experiences

Ed has excellent knowledge of New York and took the time to understand our interests. He knew where to go to show us how locals live which included an amazing cookie followed by the best pizza and then we finished off in a cool bar near Wall St. So nice to have someone take the lead so we could concentrate on the surroundings. Ed is attentive and personable and we very much enjoyed our day with him.

This is the perfect experience because you can let your tour guide know what you'd like to see ahead of time and they plan the day accordingly to make the most out of the time you have together. Our guide Denise was fantastic and made sure we saw all the things we wanted and shared history and interesting facts about each of the areas we visited. She also gave us great tips for other areas to explore and things to do on our own, as well as areas to avoid! I highly recommend this activity and would ask for Denise as your guide. Enjoy New York, I know my husband and I sure did!

Our took deviated a bit from my initial desire to see some of Robert Moses impact on NYC, but Mei guided my son and I through Grand Central Station, the subway system, and Roosevelt Island with information on some of Moses’ influences on the city. Wish we had more time, but the lines were very long for the ferry, so we took the overhead tram ride to Roosevelt Island and had a pleasant walk with really nice views of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
