Amazing tour
This was an awesome tour I learned about architecture, social changes, and fun story’s of many of NYC’s neighborhoods. Ferdinand was my guide and his shining personality made me feel excited about asking questions and he was ready to answer them. The tour was the perfect length and I felt like I had made new friends and connected over the new knowledge we shared. I would definitely recommend this tour and Ferdinand as it was such a joy !

Good coverage of three neighborhoods that I was unfamiliar with, especially Chinatown. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and made for a fun afternoon!

Wonderful. It was so much better to tour these 3 neighborhoods with someone who shares her knowledge and her enthusiasm!
Francesca was amazing, kind and very knowledgeable! I would recommend her services to anyone. She was attentive to our needs and answered all of our questions with patience and a friendly attitude.
