We had a fantastic time with our guide Julian. They took us to several fun speakeasies. My mother & I had an amazing time and I would recommend going on this tour!
Ryan was outstanding—knowledgeable, fun, entertaining! We had THE best evening! If you’re looking for an inexpensive adventure to do in the City with some history and liquor (and you don’t have to drink) all rolled into one, sign up! You get first class treatment!
Julian was an entertaining guide we visited 3 different venues that we likely wouldn’t have found on our own. Julian shared with us some of the history and backstory of the bars we visited one was a hip hop another had wonderful stage scene models ( and we learned that Julian had acted in one of these!) and a third bar where there was life music. I really enjoyed the acts which were performed by broadway performers. All of the speakeasies we visited offered a selection of crafted cocktails which were very good
This tour is a must in Manhattan! We wouldn’t have stumbled upon any of these bars on our own. They were all local and all completely different from one another. The guide was engaged, personable and gave a great history of prohibition. I highly recommend this tour.
It was a blast! Our tour guide - Walter - was superb. He was extreme knowledgeable and funny. The first place we went was a little raunchy but just go with it. The drinks call the places were great.
Arielle did a great job explaining the history of the prohibition. She has great recommendations for local places to eat and drink. She has a lot of charisma and great attitude. Would recommend for others!
A nice tour of three separate speakeasies- with plenty of history and good drinks to follow. Emma did an awesome job and really made the whole experience for my mom, aunt and I a joy.
This is a fabulous experience I would highly recommend. Arielle, our tour guide, took our small group to some hidden gems in midtown New York City. She was a great guide with local and historical knowledge, including getting us into one bar with a secret password! The cocktails were delicious, the company great and I would do it again if the opportunity arose
Walter was awesome and we had a great time. Really a great way to spend an evening! Thanks for all the great history info!
The tour guide Ariel was great. Lots of energy and fun to be with but the overall experience. She basically brought us to three bars only the first one was secret kind of speakeasy Ish The other two were not out of the way anything special? Not worth the money to me
