Great experience. Patrick gave a fantastic tour
It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed friending our time with Brianna. She was very knowledgeable and gave us so much information
Connor our guide was very educated but was overwhelmingly forthcoming with wayyy too many details. It was cold and windy and we expressed we just wanted the basics as we had show tickets just after on the other side of town. And yet he still gave us over an hour of walking and details in just soho. Four in our group and we were all done after 15 minutes of the incessant rambling and vomiting of historical details about a place we just wanted highlights. I would not do this tour again.
This was wonderful. Reservations were easy. Communication was excellent. Meetup place easy. We arrived early so we notified them & asked if we were able to start early & we did. 20 minutes early. Private guide is the way to go. We were 2 people. Michael was amazing & made it great. His great personality & knowledge made the tour fun & interesting. We got to choose where to sample foods & was able to go at our pace. We ate at the most famous , most popular & most different. Can’t beat the price. Private was $1 more than group of 15, but did not include food samples. But we got to buy what we wanted at the places of our choice. Food cost us about $20. Full size & what we wanted. Great experience.
We booked a tour through Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown. Our tour guide Conner was very friendly and knowledgable about the area. It was a very nice tour! So we highly recommend it :)
John was the best tour guide! So professional, educated and very personable:-) we had the best time and would absolutely recommend this tour!!!!
It was a nice tour with Piper, who could come up with a lot of knowledge. There were only four of us, so we could hear everything. Unfortunately, our English is not so good and Piper spoke very quickly. Perhaps it could be taken into consideration when non-native speakers take part in such a tour.
Gabby was a great guide. She was very knowledgeable about SoHo, Chinatown, and Little Italy. She shared interesting stories and facts with photos. and was lots of fun to be with.
The tour is very entertaining and Piper designed it to be very interesting. We got a good overview of SOHO, Little Italy and Chinatown. It is always best to walk
She was very good, kind and well spoken 😊 We learnd a lot from the tour and it was very interesting. We really recommend this tour 😊
