5Engaging, interesting and enlighting evening!
We had such a wonderful experience! Pete, our guide, was very knowledgable and shared many interesting facts, dates, and secrets all throughout the tour. It was engaging and enlightening, and my friend and I had a fantastic time. I highly recommend this tour for tourists and local New Yorkers, you will learn a lot and Pete is always inviting questions or further discussion with the tour guests. It makes for a great outing in the city!

About New York City
New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.
Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.
Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
