Like Exploring with an Old Friend - I loved this small group walking tour! Nathan is so knowledgeable and he obviously loves NYC. By the end of our outing, he felt more like an old friend than a professional stranger just doing his job. A great way to get to know some great neighborhoods.

Get in quick! You do not want to miss the best walking tour experience! - The 5 Neighbourhoods Walking tour is probably the best I have ever experienced. Nathan had such an incredible wealth of knowledge and he is an absolute breath of fresh air. Nothing felt rushed, we were able to take in all the sights and the walk through history was one I won’t be likely to forget. Thank you Nathan, this was definitely a highlight to our New York adventure. I cannot recommend booking this tour enough!

Just a guide to have and just a tour to take - One of the best guided tours we’ve ever had was the one around the Five Neighborhoods in Downtown Manhattan in May this year with Nathan, our NYC guide.  He was waiting at the meeting point before us with a flag and an easy smile. The tour was fascinating, but with Nathan’s commentary added, it was a truly enlightening experience. We learnt historical facts and laughed at stories thrown easily by Nathan at each corner. His deep knowledge of NYC, rooted in his love for the city, was evident at every step. History combined with contemporary, horrors with laughter, sights with smells, all in one😊 Nathan is a New Yorker through and through (as we see them): witty, thorough, intelligent, and kind. Just a guide to have and just a tour to take 😊
