Must See Midtown - I am so glad I booked this tour! There was a lot I didn’t know I didn’t know about midtown, so it was fun to walk around a place I’ve been many times but with a tour guide. I had such a great experience that I might change how I travel to make sure to book a guided tour in my first day. I really appreciate the time garrett took to give us restaurant tips and advice for other things to do.

Fun, educational tour with Mary - My wife and I did the Midtown Manhattan tour with Mary. She was great! We were lucky that we were the only ones signed up for the mid-week tour, so we had her all to ourselves. She did a great job of learning what we were interested in and gearing her commentary to that. She worked near Times Square for twenty years, and had a lot of great info about the whole area we toured. Despite the craziness of Midtown, we walked at an easy pace and it was very calm and enjoyable.
