Wonderful tour with lots to see. Great, informative tour guide who provided lots of history and facts about NYC.
Fun experience. Brianna Barnhart was great. She was very knowledgeable about the city. Told us some interesting and fun facts about the city. She was personable and funny. Would definitely recommend a this tour with Brianna.
Madison was a very informative and very friendly guide. She did a fantastic job of relaying information in a manner that was both fun and engaging. She was an ideal tour guide, moving at an ideal pace where we got to see everything we wanted to, but in a timely manner.
This was just a two hour tour small group walking tour-in the evening. We learned so much and enjoyed everything we got to see. There were three of us sisters and our tour guide Maddy was so informative and made it so interesting and gave us so much background on everything we saw. Definitely something that should not be missed.
Brianna did an amazing job keeping the group together and informing us on the history through out the city! We were able to stop at all the fun Christmas spots to take photos and enjoy the night life. 10/10 would recommend!
Dress warm in December Guide kept the tour going in spite of the unusually cold night. She was very knowledgeable
Madeline is beautiful and Smart! She explained everything well. Interesting facts about the places we visited already made the tour worth it. Not worrying where to go was also nice. The fee was worth the money, especially if you’ve never been to New York. The crowd was shoulder to shoulder in the main areas of Rockefeller Center but was expected in December. We were able to get some hot chocolate during our free roam time.
On a freezing night in December, our group of 8x (two families, kids ranging from 11 to 17) joined the guide Maddy for this tour. Maddy was very knowledgeable and welcoming, and pitched the tour at a level that appealed to the adults and the children. Two hours was the perfect timeframe, and we covered a lot of ground efficiently and enjoyably. Highly recommended. Maybe take hand warmers.
Madisonville was so knowledgeable and fun! She really loves the city and it shows. We saw so many things and just had a great time.
We had a wonderful time exploring the sights and sounds of the holiday season with a little bit of history mixed in. Though it was an incredibly busy night in the city, our guide did a wonderful job keeping the group together and making sure we could see her flag.
