The tour was enjoyable and met my expectations. The tour leader Larry was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable and he tried to accommodate any and all requests made by group members throughout the tour which I appreciated. Leo the bus driver was friendly and drove us safely throughout the tour despite challenging driving conditions at times.
On a recent visit to New York, I booked two tours with this operator. The first, "Tenements, Tales, and Tastes", was with David on the morning of the first day in NYC. It was a really special introduction to the city that I was about to spend four days exploring. We toured the neighbourhoods where NYC started, sampling delicious food along the way. It was fun, informative, all the things the best tours should be. Highly recommended. The second, the "Craft Cocktail" tour in the East Village was with Joshua, and on my final night in town. I was joined on the tour by two New York locals, so I guess that goes to show how valuable the knowledge of the guide can be! We visited three bars, enjoyed cocktails and delicious snacks and heard fascinating stories about prohibition and NYC bar culture. Also a great tour. Many thanks to both Dave and Josh for their friendly and professional service, and for sharing their enthusiasm for their city.
Hello, my girlfriends and I recently went on the NYC Tenements, Tales and Tastes tour and we had an excellent time. Our tour guide, Joe, was fantastic, very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. The places we toured were all wonderful and all of the food we sampled was outstanding - from the Dutch cookie (which I saved for later!), to the Chinese dumplings, prosciutto and mozzarella, knishes, and the German pretzles (and beer). And the stop at Economy Candy was pretty great too. Thanks again to Joe for a wonderful time, this was a very fun and interesting tour, I would highly recommend it.
