Traveler Reviews

I love taking tours but rarely take private tours due to cost BUT this tour was worth it. The value for your dollar is worth every penny. They survey you ahead of time to understand your preferences but still lots of flexibility as you go through the day. Although I had been to NYC many times learned some new things and saw different sides of sites I've been to before. Got to shop at some Brooklyn (Williamsburg) Vintage shops and saw some fantastic street art. HIGHLY recommend this personalized tour. Thank you Ross for a great day of history, sites, and fun!!

We visited areas of NY which I had not seen in my previous visits such as Little Italy and China Town. The guide Maurita was very knowledgeable, dedicated and friendly making it a truly wonderful experience. Lots of comments and information of " hidden gems" as well as tips for me . Very recommendable and very glad I took this tour.
