5.00We learned soooo much more about Manhattan! We took our 2nd Walking Tour and recommend it to visitors and locals. It's incredible how you can walk past and through so many buildings and not see what is right in front of you! We were enchanted by the history and evolution of the city, and by our guide, Annabel! She was kind, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and fun. We enjoyed great conversation and education. When you are next in Manhattan, make time for a walking tour - you will be enlightened! And this comes from life-long New Yorkers!
Very friendly,...

5.00Very friendly, devoted guide with extraordinarily interesting stories about New York City history. You come to places you would never have come without this tour and experience stories that are not in any guidebook. Many good suggestions!
Great tour

5.00Annabel was an amazing tour guide - it was like hanging out with a friend for the day! She adjusted the tour to our interests and stayed extra time to talk and share her extensive knowledge of NYC. We did luck into a tour where it was just my spouse and I, so it was super easy to have an ongoing conversation with our guide. Thank you Annabel - we hope to see you again on another tour next year!

5.00This is a tailored tour based on the interest of the group. Annabelle was knowledgeable and engaging on a personal level. She made connections to historical events and present day life styles. Just a short while into the tour you forget you are not just strolling around with a architecturally passionate friend.
