Great for tourists or residents
This was an excellent experience. I previously lived in NYC and I was not familiar with the bars we went to. My tour guide, Julian, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He shared some very interesting history of the NYC bars and got us exclusive seating. He was also clear about the bill for each bar. It was an easy way to see unique bars in Times Square and a rooftop bar at the end to wrap up the evening.
Operator response
Thank you for the kind words. Our goal is to create an Experience where even New York residents are surprised, learn new stories and discover new places.
