Great historical walk.

Loved this walking tour downtown Syracuse. The guide was excellent the tour was long enough to see a good portion of the downtown area and the scenery is amazing. Lots of history and beautiful old buildings. Truly enjoyed ourselves.

An Unforgettable and Spectacular Walking Tour

Steve and Zoryanna were fantastic tour guides. They drove to my location to find me after someone in the neighborhood accidentally gave me the wrong meeting spot (not Viator's nor the guides' fault). Their knowledge of downtown Syracuse is extensive and delivered in an engaging, memorable way. This tour offered something for everyone -- sports, American history, art and architecture, and captivationg historical stories and anecdotes. I highly recommend this tour without reservation; it's a bargain, too.
