Great private tour!

It was a very educational and thorough experience. Our personal guide, Evan was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, excellent in leading tour to our pace and answered all questions, & taking pictures for us, etc. He had lots of facts to share about the neighborhoods.

Thanks Evan!

Our tour guide Evan was great! We explored soho, Little Italy and Chinatown. He told us about the current neighborhoods, architecture, history, culture, and had some interesting stories. We lucked out because no one else booked that afternoon so it was just our family of 5. It was a fabulous way to see an area of the city that we don't normally visit. Everyone had a great time- from grandma to the tweenager, visitors and true New Yorkers, we all enjoyed the tour.

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 !
