Traveler reviews
Cowboys, and Railroads, and Meat…..Oh My!
Wow! Patrick was a fountain of knowledge about the history of New York City. The two hours of the Chelsea Market, the Highline, and the Meat Packing District went by too quickly. I just wish that I had brought along a notebook to write down all the interesting facts!
Sensational
Fascinating history of Chelsea Market and early beginnings of New York City. Fun shopping and delicious eats!
Explored locations & sights with Family that we’ve never seen
Connor was very engaging and knowledgeable. We experienced sights & locations that were unknown to us.
A little walk around town? The Highline, for sure!
Relatively new – though – this “attraction” has actually become a must when visiting NYC. A few kilometers walk between the houses and buildings of the city, littered with art, monuments, incredible buildings. An absolute necessity!
Brilliant
Review: We had Percy bringing us around and she knew the locality and it's history intimately. Not only had she an encyclopedic mind full of detail and anecdotes she was a passionate New Yorker and really brought the place to life. You could touch the history when she spoke bringing you back to the people and events that shaped the city and then landing you right in the set of Sex in the City! Really informative and enjoyable. A must for any visitor.
