5.00A really great few hours. We were taken to many really interesting streets and sites in the Upper West Side that we'd never have found alone. We had already visited Central Park several time but learned so much about it. Also picked up some really helpful tips on things like using the subway. Appreciated the snack break at an amazing cookie shop!
Had a great tour

5.00I took advantage of the free tour through my Pod hotel. Patrick was awesome and I learned a lot of history from him. I had been to Manhattan several times prior, but had never spent much time in Brooklyn. We toured Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo. It was just me and one other couple so it was personal and intimate. Patrick was very personable.
Great

5.00These guys are amazing. I joined their tours almost every day during my week in New York and honestly, without these guided walks I wouldn’t have understood the city nearly as well. They shared tons of useful insights — not just dates and facts, but real context about the history of different neighborhoods, how the city evolved, and practical tips you can actually use while exploring NYC. Highly recommended if you want more than just sightseeing.
Highly recommended for your first time in the city!

5.00It was a very good walking tour. In addition to all the care they took during the briefing time before the tour started, they also gave us a slow explanation in English for the Japanese during the tour, which was impressive. Thank you very much.
Amazing Tour

5.00Very fun and informative. We saw a lot of things we wouldn't have been able to normally and heard some stories we had never heard. Well worth the money. Enjoy!
Great tour of Brooklyn Heights

5.00I highly recommend Streetwise Walking tours. As someone who generally sticks to Manhattan when visiting NY I was very happy to explore more of the city. Dan was informative, helpful and created a relaxed environment. We learnt lots of little facts about the area and he was very accommodating to everybody’s needs and requirements. It’s a great way to spend a morning. If we had time we do another one for sure. Thanks again!
Great walking tour with a local perspective

5.00I had a great experience on the Central Park and Upper West Side tour with Streetwise New York through their partnership with Pod Hotel. It was engaging, well paced, and offered a deeper, more authentic look at the city beyond the usual tourist spots. Dan was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, passionate, and full of interesting stories you wouldn’t find in a guidebook. I highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a more personal and meaningful way to experience New York. — Marco
