Architectural tour of midtown Manhattan, a tour through history. - Our architectural tour with Annabel was outstanding. She was charming, fun and so knowledgeable. Besides knowing so much about the many buildings and styles we saw, she was able to but it all into historical perspective, seamlessly. A rare gift! It was a delightful and educational 3 hours that was over too quickly for my wife and I.

A must-do in NYC - We had an amazing experience on our New York City architectural tour with Annabel. Her deep knowledge of the city’s history, architecture, and the people who helped shape it was truly impressive. She didn’t just focus on the buildings—she shared the stories of how New Yorkers from all walks of life contributed to making the city what it is today, and how New York has always welcomed people from everywhere. What made the tour even more special was how Annabel tailored her explanations to each of our interests and backgrounds, making it engaging and personal for everyone. Her enthusiasm and warmth really stood out, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for both the architecture and the social history of the city. It was well worth the price, and we highly recommend this tour, and Annabel, to anyone!

Great Tour! - Annabelle was outstanding! She was able to share the information in an interesting way. She also had a gift of being able to connect with the tourists she was guiding. We learned so much from her. It was evident that she loved her subject matter and loved the city of New York! I would highly, highly recommend her tours!
My only suggestion would be to maybe at the beginning find a quiet place to sit down and then begin to share all the wonderful information about what we were going to see. It was a bit difficult to hear and process the information when the tour started because of the traffic noise.
I would like to take this tour again because I know I didn't absorb it all!!

Enjoyable tour of iconic buildings! - You’d think an architectural tour of Manhattan would be stuffy and boring, but Annabel made it interesting. She was engaging, knowledgeable and passionate about her subject. My husband and I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about the buildings in the midtown area, and we’ve been coming to NYC multiple times a year for 10 yrs or more. Would highly recommend!

I would do it again - Annabel was our tour guide. Grandmother and a 13 year old boy interested in architecture. We were the only ones signed up so we essentially had a private tour. It was advertised as 3 hours and turned into 3 and a half. We were taken into both public and private spaces. Annabel knew her subject….dates, styles, the people behind the money to build the skyscrapers, historical anecdotes from the Rockefeller to Leona Helmsley, and more. She had the capability to engage both Grandma and Grandson. A perfect treat.

New York Architecture - Midtown - We had a delightful tour with Annabel on July 6th which delineated the architure and architectural styles present in midtown New York - Super! Didn't realize how many styles were present until it was skillfully pointed out and explained. We visited the lobbies of several buildings for added understanding and impact. Splendid tour and we highly recommend it. You'll enjoy....
