Private New York Downtown Highlights Halbtagestour

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Nicky! He took my sister, my 15-year-old son, and me around the city, and somehow managed to keep all of us completely engaged the entire time — which is no small feat with a teenager! He blended fascinating history with fun pop culture spots, so there was something for everyone. We covered an incredible amount in just four short hours, even while dodging the rain, and never felt rushed. Having a car to pick us up and drop us off along the way made such a difference, especially with the weather, and allowed us to see even more comfortably. He also took us to a great pizza spot and went above and beyond by calling ahead to a sandwich place so we could grab something quick before our evening show. He made sure we got back to the hotel right on time, stress-free. One of the things we appreciated most was that he took photos of us along the way, which made the experience even more special and gave us great memories to take home. My son is still talking about the experience, which says everything! He was fun, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and truly made the day memorable. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to experience the city in a personalized and engaging way!

My family and I just returned from visiting New York City for the first time. We booked a private two day tour with Nicky. He was so good with my family and provided so much information and facts about all of the areas that we were visiting. He was the highlight of our trip. Our first time to the city would not have been the same without him. His service was definitely money well spent. I’d book with him again!

I hired Nicky for a private 4hr tour of New York City for myself, my husband, and our 13 year-old daughter. I chose Nicky because his previous reviews talked about personalizing tours to the attendees preference, and he did not disappoint! We focused on downtown and the lower east side of New York City, including American Revolution facts and history about the beginning of NYC. I also wanted Nicky to take us on a partial food tour through Chinatown and little Italy, which he expertly wove into our plans as we walked north from the Financial District. We began our tour in Bowling Green park where Nicky came prepared with pictures on his phone and information about the history of NYC. We then started to walk north, talking about more American Revolution facts and visiting sites like Wall Street, Federal Hall, Trinity Church and graveyard, and St. Paul’s Chapel. Nicky also pointed out architectural details on buildings we would have completely missed on our own. The second half of our tour took us through Chinatown and Little Italy, where Nicky showed us tenement apartments (more NYC history) and told us many facts about the different mobs/crime in these NYC neighborhoods over years. As we walked around, we dined at plenty of local favorites and learned facts about our food, too - like what makes a soup dumpling and soup dumpling! Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. One of my favorite parts of our tour was that it was just *easy!* - we walked, we talked, we laughed, we ate - what more can you ask for?! Nicky is knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about what he does. He also was engaging with our teenage daughter, asking her questions and making her feel included in the tour - it was one of her favorite parts of our 3 day trip. We have already recommended Nicky to other families, and will reach out to him again in the future when we come back to NYC for a tour of another area. Highly recommend!!
