We had an amazing tour with Maurita. We started at the auburn Square farmers market and then traveled to historical stops and the best restaurants. All carefully planned and informative. Each stop was awesome and places I would never know to go otherwise. Maurita was friendly, informed and we enjoyed spending the afternoon with her. Highly recommend!!

Maurita was fantastic! She guided our family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 kids under the age of 12, through local eateries with a touch of history. The history and culture part were interesting enough for the adults and not too boring for the kids. Which is a definite win. The kids thought they were just eating their way through the city, but little did they know they were learning some historical tidbits, Thats a definite win in my book. Highly recommend Maurita. She was a fantastic guide :)

We spent the evening with Harry, who took us to some of his favourite placed. Lucky us! We had an awesome time and will visit these locations next time we’re in NY.
