There are a lot of stairs. But it was worth it. Our guide was funny and engaging. Learned so much about our transit system.

Pete led an amazing tour of the subway system. He was super informative and kept us engaged for the two hour tour. A great tour for people who want to learn about NYC history and also for train enthusiasts.

Really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Pete was really knowledgeable and answer all our questions. It’s a little be different to the ‘normal’ tourist tour, and great to just slow down and actually look around and notice things you wouldn’t normally pay attention too. I’d highly recommend the tour of subways.
