- Keyur was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and had many pictures of the people and places he talked about with us. Great history lesson!

Well worth doing this tour. My only negative was the bus was too warm as the day went on and this was in MarchWritten March 22, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- The tour meets everything you'd expect: a route through New York's most popular neighborhoods, with some stops to stretch your legs and see some details up close.
The guide who accompanied us told us the history of both New York and the neighborhoods, adding very interesting additional information that makes you feel more immersed in the trip. A 10 for her.
The only negative point is with the company that manages it. The information they give about the tour's ending point is contradictory. I contacted them via chat, WhatsApp, and email, but they finally decided the tour would end where I asked, and they told me it wouldn't. Therefore, I had to change the logistics of my trip to make the most of the day.Written March 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- VacationAddictNew YorkI booked this tour as I had a friend from out of town who was interested in this. As a native New Yorker who has worked in the Wall Street area for years, I didn't think that I would be as interested in this tour as he was, but I was totally wrong! First things first, Jared was an INCREDIBLE guide. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about the history and inner workings of Wall Street (as a former trader), he was totally engaging with every single person in our group, learned everyone's name and hometown immediately, and made sure that everyone felt included (kids too!). He answered all questions, was very humorous and left everyone wanting more time with him. The tour encompassed many of the "important" buildings and landmarks of the area and was definitely walkable for everyone. I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed Jared's insights and perspectives. If you book this tour, ask to be in Jared's group - you won't be disappointed.Written March 19, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- We had a great pedicab tour of Central Park with Experience NYC. Fantastic tour with Moni would highly recommend him as your guideWritten March 22, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- If you’re short on time in NYC but still want to visit Washington, D.C. without any hassle, this is the perfect short trip to the National Mall. The tour guide is very knowledgeable, and the driver is quite nice. They offer services in both English and Spanish. It’s a well-organized tour at a great price.Written February 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Steve is an incredible local tour guide who has been a resident and friend to Greenwich village for decades! He gave us the in-and-out secrets of Greenwich Village in a way that allowed us to love the area like home. Additionally, Steve had a deep knowledge of the history of the area and made it interesting and clear to understand. He was able to contextualize the stories in a way that tied the past with the present together. His “untold” stories celebrate the rich activism of the area and the lives of amazing women, revolutionaries, and the LGBTQ+ community, which continue to inspire people today. Steve is extremely passionate about the Greenwich community in a way that is contagious! 100% recommend this tour if you love history, art music, celebrity sightings + more!Written March 15, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
