“Benji was a great guide! And the tour company was very accommodating to us throughout. It was myself, my 16 yr old son, Benji, and a driver of the van. We went all over Manhattan viewing great locations of tv/movies and discussing behind the scenes info. Benji had great knowledge and interesting subject matter. We stopped and got out of the van about 3 times to see some things closer. Great tour!”

“Jackie was our driver for the 3 hour tour. We were able to see Rockefeller Center, United Nations, Brooklyn Bridge, St Patrick’s Cathedral, 9/11 Memorial, Empire State, China Town, and a view of the Statue of Liberty. Very well worth the expense. I traveled with my daughter and mother. I didn’t want my mom to have to walk a lot. We exited the car to look around the memorial and shop on canal street. Time flew by! No better way to see NYC in a hurry.”
Private 3-hour walk from the High Line to Chelsea Market and Meatpacking District. Views, food stops, local stories.
“This was a fabulous tour. Eric provided historic insight, fun facts and gastronomic highlights throughout. The Highline is beautiful and unique. Chelsea, Market 57 and the Mest Packing districts were all worthwhile destinations. Despite rainy weather, he came prepared with extra umbrellas and we had a great time.”

“Great experience! There were only 2 of us signed up so we were able to take some time learning to set up shots while also moving quickly in areas that weren’t conducive to great photos. The site says subway fees are covered- they are not (not a huge deal, but be prepared to get a metro card or have a cc handy). I would definitely do this again.”

“My wife and I enjoyed enormously the tour of the village. We are quite familiar with it yet Jessie enriched our knowledge and made the tour entertaining and interesting.I Highly recommend Jessie,”
3 hours at Area 53 Williamsburg in Brooklyn with zip line, ropes course, rock climbing, laser games, skating, and more.
“We stayed in Brooklyn in a BnB apartment. It was great to stay somewhere for 8 days and unpack everything. Location 10 minutes walk from subway. Walk passed a great coffee shop in morning on way to subway. Then travel to all the key highlights of New York and Brooklyn. Coming home in evening we passed a number of vendors on sidewalk with wood smokers selling jerk chicken - which was to die for. Loved our Brooklyn and New York experience”
3-hour Midtown highlights: Central Park, St. Patrick’s, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, NYPL, and Grand Central with a small-group walk.
“Visiting St. Patrick's Cathedral and Grand Central Station by far. Rockefeller center was great to see in person and though a very small part of Central Park, we saw more than we did in a City Tour we went on. It was fast moving, not one sit down in a three hour walking tour.”
