Great journey back in time to Dutch New Amsterdam - This walking tour was fun and so informative. Our guide, Justin, shared a wealth of information through stories, explanations of what we were seeing and of what had been there before. This all made the history come alive. This was a unique and rewarding way to spend a couple of hours. Highly recommend for tourists or New Yorkers.

Awesome tour! well worth the time! - The tour was awesome! Having deep New Amsterdam roots herself, Mandy our guide brought characters and places from 400 years ago back to life. Her modern day insight and deep historical knowledge provided a great perspective and balance of the good and not so good events. Because of the time we spent with her I have a much better understanding of my past and the past we all share because of this little island. Congrats to a job well done by Untapped New York and I would highly recommend their tours. I will make it a point to call on them again when in the area. The problem is which tour is next!

A Must Walking Tour of old New Amsterdam - Mandy our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge from an historical perspective and anthropological perspective she had all the answers!!! Being a history buff it was great to enhance my recollection of NY ‘s past and walk in the footsteps of our ancestors. The personal connection that Mandy has to our forefathers was also an added plus. Remnants of New Amsterdam tour is a must thing to do for locals and tourists!!!

Great tour. - We had a great tour (private) with Mandy. She was an attentive and knowledgeable guide with great working knowledge of Dutch New Amsterdam (what's left of it). Super personable. Highly recommended, especially if you have ancestors from the early Dutch period.
