An amazing experience with personal attention - We had the pleasure of enjoying this amazing tour with Chris Tipp. The views are beautiful and the history is fascinating, but, Chris Tipp’s emotionally intelligent guidance was both touching and inspiring. We highly recommend the tour and Chris Tipp’s guidance!!!

Fantastic , informative, great experience - Chris Lee was the best tour guide. He not only knows the demographics of the entire city, but his explanation on the history of all the landmarks, Old New Yawk, and the New New Yawk was well explained. It's nice to learn from someone who has grown up seen it throughout his life and who you can truly see loves his city. If possible I highly recommend requesting Chris. You will enjoy and learn from a true New Yorker! Chris don't forget to visit Greece. Best Regards, Stefan and Cecilia

Great Day in NY - Our first time to NY and Erika was wonderful to work with. She was personable and communicated well with all of us. The day was cold but Erika exhibited genuine concern to make our day as pleasant as possible. She was a great resource and highly knowledgable. Would recommend her to anybody.

We lucked out with Sean as our guide - Sean was our tour guide and he was great. Our son’s thought he was so nice and our whole family enjoyed his story telling. His stories really helped us to understand and connect with the history.
