Our tour guide Sam was just THE BEST! I had so much fun! For lunch he took us for dumplings in Chinatown which were delicious and the dessert in Little Italy was phenomenal! You'll need to pay cash so be prepared ($15-20 should be enogh). We walked a lot but I didn't really notice it, we took a subway twice (no need to buy metro card though, you can pay by card or phone). We learned some fun facts about the city but he also told us some very touching stories especially from 9/11. I forgot my gloves and he was kind enough to took us to stalls where I could buy a pair (and other visitors as well since it was a really cold December day). I am happy I booked this tour and I remommend it to everyone.

Absolutely perfect start to my NYC trip! This tour allowed me to see all the important stops with a lot of fascinating info. My tour guide Sam was super knowledgable & fun! Loved learning more about his experience in the city. The small group size made it even more enjoyable. Food was amazing too! Absolutely recommend this tour!

This was a great tour! Bobby was a great guide with so much energy. And I saw so much in 5 hours. I did the hop on and hop off tour the following day and whilst it isn’t as exhausting, you simply don’t get to see what we saw on this tour. I thought it was great and definitely a great thing to do as soon as you get to NYC. Just a word of warning - to do the 5 hour tour in the heat of summer is tiring - I think I did 18,000 steps that day! But, I’d definitely recommend!
