Justin is the best!

Subway Secrets: A Must-Do for Any NYC Visitor
What joys of the subway are missed in the hustle and bustle of people's commutes! Our guide, Richard, lived his entire life in NYC. This was evident in his grasp of, and love for, the history of this great city. He was flawless and patient. We walked, rode subways and learned, all at the right pace. I'll never look at this engineering marvel in the same way again. Thanks you untapped New York!
Behind the Scenes
Very interesting and informative. The guide knows his stuff and shows you things you never knew existed even though you’ve passed by them for years.
Another approach to the NYC subway
Very pleasant and informative tour, led by a very friendly and passionate guide. the tour is in English, but she knew how to adapt by speaking softly which allowed us to understand her explanations. Many anecdotes, all as exciting as the last. We particularly enjoyed the abandoned station of the City Hall, Worth, even behind the windows... We highly recommend this tour, which gives us another view of the New York subway.

Justin did a great tour, explained the history and walk us through all city hall and explain from the beginning how it all began. It was great tour, definitely booking another tour. Keep up the great work! It was awesome. I am a native New Yorker and it is always great to learn about the history of New York.
