It’s our first time here from California and had one Day to experience this enormous city. We definitely like personal tours and when we found out it could be completely personalized we were in! Riding subways, experiencing the World Trade Center memorial, walking through Greenwich Village, eating local food. And he was completely working at our pace. It was perfect. All in three hours!!!! Thanks again

We are a family of 4 traveling with two children from Texas. We had a very specific NYC itinerary of our must sees. Our tour guide, Maurita, listened to our every request and delivered above and beyond. She was patient, knowledgeable, sweet, accommodating, and gave us so much history. We could not have had a better day seeing the city’s hidden gems & learning of it’s history. 10/10 recommend Maurita.

Romina was an excellent guide and responded to our requests for an orientation tour of NYC, taking us on busses and subways and discussing how to hail and pay for cabs. Romina took us to interesting places and helped us feel comfortable exploring on our own after the tour.

Great experience with Mei! She personalized our tour with places we wanted to visit and see. Ate in Chinatown at amazing 456. Food was delish and affordable. Rode the ferry and subway. Wouldn’t have know how to without a guide. Highly recommend getting a guide if you want to see New York and have a great experience get yourself a guide!
