Great experience with Jim - Jim Wahler, the Experience First guide, is brilliant. He is obviously very proud to be a New Yorker and this shone through the whole experience. He is very knowledgeable and provided lots of detailed background historical information about the various famous (and not so famous) landmarks we were seeing. He included quirky information that many tour guides would probably not cover. The tour lasted much longer than half a day, but did not feel like it and Jim did not rush us to finish on time. The tour with Jim was marvellous and I would thoroughly recommend it.

A Good Way to See The Sights - Enjoyable walking tour of the main ‘want-to-see landmarks’. Appreciated using the subway as part of the experience as I was travelling on my own and hesitant to use it by myself. Staten Island ferry was also a good idea. Thanks to Cale for being such a great guide.

Just fantastic. - Where to start? We were so lucky to have Jim Wahler as our guide. What a wonderful man. He is so enthusiastic and his love for New York absolutely shines. He knows everything about every corner and, although it was quite a trip, I came away brimming with knowledge and a new appreciation of this wonderful city. if you are able to walk, I would definitely recommend this, especially before booking a hop on hop off bus.

Knowledgeable and Interactive! - Our family is from Minnesota and decided to do a guided tour of NYC to get the most out of our trip. We were blown away how great Cale was during our tour. Not only was it awesome to see all of the monuments and landmarks, it was great to learn more about the history behind them all. His public speaking skills and knowledgeable responses to everyone’s questions made the tour so fun and interactive! Couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide.

Do this tour on day one! - Claire was awesome. This is a fun tour and you get to see so many things in one day, learn about the public transportation as well as become comfortable navigating yourself around the city. I recommend doing it on day one of your trip!

Ask for Cale So You Can Say That He Was Your Tour Guide in NYC When He Becomes a Famous Actor - We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Cale was absolutely amazing. He was friendly, funny, and extremely knowledgable. I had visited NY many times before but never done a tour and this was an incredible way to not only explore the city and landmarks but also to understand the history. I had been to quite a few of the places on the tour, but didn't know the background or why certain areas were famous –– from the revolutionary war stories/locations, to the development of Times Square, and walking through the financial district I learned so much. Also, I loved that this tour was walking plus public transport; it really embeds you in the city for the experience rather than some drive-by bus tour where you don't get the full experience. Thank you so much Cale for your enthusiasm, kindness, and wisdom. I'll definitely be recommending this tour to any friends or family who visit NYC.
