Jason was great! He tailored our tour to our interests and was so knowledgeable about the history of NYC and also current events and facts about the city. We highly recommend Jason for a private walking tour during your visit.

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!

Ross timed our experience perfectly to coincide with a booking we had made after the tour. He was knowledgeable and friendly and adapted our route on the go once we had told him what we managed to see the day before. He ensured our route was accessible for my partner who is a wheelchair user and we saw things and places we wouldn't have thought about or attempted on our own.

Mei was terrific! We wanted to avoid the main tourist attractions so Mei took us to Brooklyn and Queens where we enjoyed terrific views back to Manhattan, a calm ferry ride, and visited some ethnic neighborhoods enjoying some tasty cuisine. We had a great time!

Jason was amazing. He was like meeting an old friend showing us around NYC. Your tour guides are the reason we always choose city unscripted.
