You call, we listen, and then suggest the perfect day for you in the most interesting neighborhoods: Greenwich Village, Chinatown, Times Square and many more, sampling the best foods the City has to offer. This is nothing like a bus tour; it's a personal experience where the history is part of the tour, but the behind-the-scenes stories are part of us. « less

Nancy was our tour guide and she took us around Greenwich Village. I cannot explain in words how wonderful this experience was. We learned so much about the history of the neighborhood while stopping along at different restaurants to taste some food. Although it has only been a day since our tour, we have recommended manhattanwalkingtour.com to all of our... More

Garry took us to the High Line and through Greenwich Village with uber personality and energy. We were treated to some awesome sweet a d savory foods along the way as well as great stories. Although there were no kids on our tour (which is never more than 8 people with him), he will adjust stories for the age of... More

If I could give Garry a million stars I would. My husband and I were in New York for only 24 hours a couple days before Christmas (we were catching a cruise). Garry made the MOST of our 24 hours. I initially thought I would only book a half day tour, but after talking with Garry (via email), his suggestions... More

We really enjoyed this tour. Alex our guide was very knowledgeable and forthcoming. He first showed us around Chinatown where we had a lot of food along the way! Very nice. Then we walked to Downtown where another couple joined us for the Historic Downtown tour. This tour was also very pleasant and Alex again very knowledgeable about the history... More

I was super fortunate to have the undivided attention of my tour guide, Alex, as luck (for me) would have it that I was the only one who requested this combo. So, first, let me say, kudos to Alex and Garry for not cancelling out on me. I'm certain that there would have been other tour guides who would have... More

We did 2 separte days of touring with Garry and LOVED it. Wow does he know his stuff. Every question asked he knew the answer. He was telling us all kinds of interesting information about the areas were walking through. The knowledge he has of this Great city is amazing. He was very helpful with any questions outside of the... More

I serendipitously stumbled across Manhattan Walking Tours. And boy am I glad! The tours I took with Garry were the highlight of my trip. I did a tour of Central Park and Chinatown/Downtown. Garry is a fantastic tour guide and a quintessential New Yorker. You can't get this anywhere else! The passion he has for his work and his city... More

This was a fantastic tour and Garry is an amazing tour guide. We did the Times Square tour and the Food Tour - one right after the other. Garry's tours are different. What it is NOT, is a typical tour with one guy with an umbrella and a megaphone boringly spouting facts at an enormous yawning crowd of camera-toting tourists.... More

We had our tour booked on a miserable rainy day and only two of use showed up for the tour. Gary greeted us with a million dollar smile, gave us two umbrellas and we were off to the best, most entertaining tour we ever had the good fortune to be on. Gary is real talent when it comes to story... More
