Great off the beaten track day in NYC - We had a full day of guiding with Mei in NYC. Been to Manhattan a lot and we wanted to see a different side of New York. She met us in Harlem and from there took us in her car to Fort Tyron then to Williamsburg. All in all very good.

Great tour with Maurita, would highly recommend. - We had a great walking tour with Maurita on the afternoon of the day we arrived. It was a great way to familiarise ourselves with the city and have the opportunity to ask a local for any tips or advice we needed. Maurita contacted us before the tour and asked if we had any specific requests or interests and was flexible on the day. Would highly recommend it.

NYC walking tour with Olga - Olga was absolutely delightful. She put so much care and thought into planning the route for my 3 hour personalised walking tour of NYC. It was the highlight of my work trip and I never would've learnt so much about the city, it's architecture and found little hidden gems otherwise. Highly recommend!

Highly Recommend the Private Personalized Tour - Edward was amazing! We booked an 8 hour private tour and got to visit all the sites on our list. Edward was a wealth of knowledge and a native New Yorker who knew the secret ins and outs of the city. With him as our guide we traveled via subway and bus and had a fantastic time. Thanks Edward for everything!

Make sure you got your walking shoes on …. - This guided tour was great. Bill showed us what we wanted to see and a lot of things we didn’t know we needed do see. One thing though - didn’t think that there would be as much walking (knew there would be some, but not the 10+ klm), and it was so very cool that he changed his plans and we ended up at World Trade Centre. Muchly appreciated ….

Great day seeing NY - Maurita of City unscripted showed us New York south of 23rd West street. She has been an excellent guide, very knowledgable of the local areas, Wall Street area, China Town, little Italy, Brooklyn Bridge, Greenwich, West Village. We truly enjoyed her company and historic knowledge. Highly recommended.
