    You’d think an architectural tour of Manhattan would be stuffy and boring, but Annabel made it interesting. She was engaging, knowledgeable and passionate about her subject. My husband and I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about the buildings in the midtown area, and we’ve been coming to NYC multiple times a year for 10 yrs or more. Would highly recommend!

    Annabel was our tour guide. Grandmother and a 13 year old boy interested in architecture. We were the only ones signed up so we essentially had a private tour. It was advertised as 3 hours and turned into 3 and a half. We were taken into both public and private spaces. Annabel knew her subject….dates, styles, the people behind the money to build the skyscrapers, historical anecdotes from the Rockefeller to Leona Helmsley, and more. She had the capability to engage both Grandma and Grandson. A perfect treat.

    We had a delightful tour with Annabel on July 6th which delineated the architure and architectural styles present in midtown New York - Super! Didn't realize how many styles were present until it was skillfully pointed out and explained. We visited the lobbies of several buildings for added understanding and impact. Splendid tour and we highly recommend it. You'll enjoy....
