The guide (Max) knew so much, and made the history come alive. He paced the tour perfectly and I could see him adjusting his narrative to the group as we progressed. He did justice to an amazing historical structure and to how unique NYC is!

It’s ok not the best tour we been. Not fun / interactive. Too much information without time to enjoy each of the locations. He just flat out talking / trying to remember what to say none stop. Not recommended. You can do it yourself for free.

Derrick was amazing. It was a lot of fun. Very informative but not over powering.

This is a tour that could and should have been done on our own. Jay our guide was a thoroughly decent chap, knowledgeable but I regret to say somewhat uninspiring. His audio comms weren’t great and the thing that we struggled with was the slow speed he walked - so much so that most of the group left him whilst on the bridge. We did the same and did what was in effect and self tour.
