    Kevin Draper (a noted Historian) of New York Historical Tours is truly a New York treasure! It was such a pleasure to roam the historic streets of New York learning about our ancestors and the forefathers of our nation. From the oldest stone street in New York to an authentic American Revolutionary hangout for General George and his men, it was a glorious experience! Kevin told us stories we will never forget, bringing the history alive! We learned, we laughed, we got amazing photo memories, and Kevin answered all of our endless questions. He is so incredibly knowledgeable. I cannot recommend Kevin Draper’s private tours more. It was undoubtedly the highlight of our time in New York City!

    Kevin was amazing !! You can tell he’s a New Yorker . Only thing however is it needs more information on this tour regarding what’s “included” and what were actually “doing”. Could of showed me more for the price of $200.

    Really, I can’t say enough good things about Kevin Draper and New York Historical Tours. As a NYC native I love deepening my knowledge of my beloved city. Kevin is a real New Yorker with a total zest for the City and for sharing with others what makes New York so special. Having already greatly enjoyed Kevin's on line talks during this past year, it was a real pleasure to take my first in-person tour, The Gilded Age: The Heyday of High Society Tour, and to be with Kevin Draper. On our walk up Fifth Avenue from the Plaza to beyond the Guggenheim Museum, Kevin's knowledge and enthusiasm were real and totally entertaining. I enjoyed this tour and know that Kevin and his company can take your anywhere which is what I expect to do in the coming year.
