Extra special perspective
Our guide was so knowledgeable and had such a passion for the subject. We were given the opportunity to see the buildings from so many different perspectives and being able to go inside so many of them made the experience extra special.

Art Deco wonders of midtown
Jeremy provided an excellent tour of the mid town Art Deco wonders of New York. The route along with the commentary provided a nuanced insight to the history and evolution of skyscrapers in the city and the people behind the projects.
Thoroughly recommended for visitors and locals who otherwise could miss so much as they try to navigate the busy streets of midtown

Helped me understand why I like Art Deco
While I have known I liked Art Deco buildings more than others, I was never able to articulate why. Jeremy’s tour, in addition to showing wonderful architecture, also helped me understand what is it about them I like.
A great tour that includes both the most famous examples of Art Deco in New York and some lesser known ones I was not aware of.
