We were lucky enough to have Steve as our tour guide just for our little family group. He was brilliant! He shared his love and understanding of his personal neighbourhood with us, giving us a great insight of life in NYC. We already had explored the city but Steve gave it a personal dimension. He also catered for our interests into Bob Dylan, Friends etc. and ensured the tour stayed interesting for young and old. Thank you very much for making this a special NewYork experience for us, Steve! And thanks for the photos.
