Traveler reviews
Much better than a generic tour
Deeper dig into the history of the foundation of Manhattan. The tour and the guide was lovely, definitely recommend it if you are looking for something a little extra in terms of knowledge and content. Still remains well explained and accessible for all.
Fun and educational
Mickey was our guide, and gave a personalized, very knowledgeable and thorough tour of the old Dutch area of town. We definitely would recommend
Nice tour!
Fun tour in which you really encounter history. Richard gave a good explanation and we had the perfect pace. Definitely recommended if you want to see the tip of Manhattan through historic glasses!
Super knowledgeable guide. Interesting tour
I had read a book this year about Amsterdam settling Manhattan so I was super excited for this tour to be able yo put my eyes on some of the things I had read. The tour guide Mandy was the best of the best guide for this. So knowledgeable and clearly loved sharing the info on this tour. Plus she had great insight into other things to see and read. The tour was all I hoped it would be.
Highly recommend Mandy.
Mandy Edgecombe was a great tour guide. It's not easy navigating the streets of lower Manhattan. But Mandy efficiently directed us around to many fascinating sites. All the while offering interesting historical information. We will want as a guide on her on other NYC tours.
