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.
