    We had a fabulous day on our NYC in a Day walking tour. Our guide Jim was fantastic, he has so much knowledge about the city and many fascinating stories about the places we visited. The tour managed to get us to many of the must sees for a first time visitor to NYC, also very convenient as we didn't need to navigate ourselves around the city - Jim looked after us, kept us interested and entertained all day.

    Great tour for our first time in NYC. Cale our guide was great, really knew his stuff and gave us a great overview of the City. We really enjoyed the mix of, walking, subway and ferry, to get to see all the places we wanted. We had a nice stop for lunch near Wall Street and the whole tour was at a good pace and not rushed. Highly recommend Cale and this tour company for those short on time wanting to see a much as they can.

    This was my 3rd time on this tour in 8 years. Whenever I come to the city with someone who hasn’t been on this tour, I take them. This time, Dan was our guide and he was so knowledgeable about the history of each area we visited. And…this time it was like a private tour as my boyfriend and I were the only ones on the tour! We thoroughly enjoyed our day. I highly recommend paying the extra to go to the top of the 1 World Observation tower. It is amazing! Every time I’ve gone, I’ve learned something new from the guides. Totally great way to spend your day.

    An excellent tour of New York. Informative & fun. Jim knows his onions & I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys their history, architecture, Time Square, (pizza for lunch), a subway ride, a visit to the very moving Ground Zero & much more whilst walking around the great city of New York. An awesome day.

    Cale was our tour guide and was so full of knowledge. We loved his energy and was very informative. He was able to answer questions and share information outside the tour. I was recommend him again for anyone taking this tour. A lot of walking but it’s worth it!

  • So many landmarks and history

    Cale shared so many interesting facts about downtown NY. I’m 74 years old and it can be difficult to keep up with a walking tour, but Cale’s held a pace that I could keep up with. We walked through so many interesting landmarks and he provided so much history at each. I would actually go on this tour again.

    An amazing experience that we are still talking about. John Bow was a brilliant tour guide who guided us all around NY with a wealth of knowledge. We were a group of family/friend group of 9 and he really took the time to get to know us. We had 3 children in our group and they also loved it. We did so much walking but it was not tiring with lots of stop.
