Wonderful day in the city

It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed friending our time with Brianna. She was very knowledgeable and gave us so much information

Too much detail for a "fun tour"...he made it not fun at all

Connor our guide was very educated but was overwhelmingly forthcoming with wayyy too many details. It was cold and windy and we expressed we just wanted the basics as we had show tickets just after on the other side of town. And yet he still gave us over an hour of walking and details in just soho. Four in our group and we were all done after 15 minutes of the incessant rambling and vomiting of historical details about a place we just wanted highlights. I would not do this tour again.

Private is the way to go!

This was wonderful. Reservations were easy. Communication was excellent. Meetup place easy. We arrived early so we notified them & asked if we were able to start early & we did. 20 minutes early. Private guide is the way to go. We were 2 people. Michael was amazing & made it great. His great personality & knowledge made the tour fun & interesting. We got to choose where to sample foods & was able to go at our pace. We ate at the most famous , most popular & most different. Can’t beat the price. Private was $1 more than group of 15, but did not include food samples. But we got to buy what we wanted at the places of our choice. Food cost us about $20. Full size & what we wanted. Great experience.
